Operation
1. Turn the engine o and wait till it has cooled to room temperature.
2. Locate a test point where it is easily accessible to attach the test adapter and the blanking
adapter.
It is recommended to pressurize the system to the ow of the charged air
.
3. Measure the hose diameter to select the correct adapter. Fit the adapters onto the hoses to
be checked. Reuse or apply new hose clamps and ensure the hose clamps are secure or
torqued to your vehicle’s specications.
Before connecting the gauge, ensure the regulator knob is fully closed to zero and the
lever on the gauge is turned to its o position.
4. Connect the pressure gauge to the test adapter by holding back and releasing the sleeve on
the gauge’s quick coupler.
5. Connect the pressure gauge to your workshop airline or other compressed air outlet. Use the
provided DIN adapter and another quick coupler as needed.
6. Slowly turn open the lever and turn the knob to set the desired pressure as stated in your
vehicle’s specications. Press lock the knob when the desired pressure has been reached.
7. Carefully listen to air escaping throughout the turbo charging system. If no audible leaks are
detected, apply soapy water to joints or connections. A leak will cause the soapy water to
bubble.
8. If no bubble has been formed and the reading of the gauge remains stable for one minute, it
indicates that the system is functioning properly. Pull unlock and turn the knob to its closed
position. Remove the workshop air line from the gauge and disconnect the gauge from
the test adapter. Remove test adapter and blanking adapter from your vehicle and stow
everything away.
Maintenance
• Check for smooth movement and secure connections before each use. Never use this tool if
any part is found to be loose, bound, worn, or damaged. Tighten, lubricate, repair, or replace

• Clean the components of this toolkit after each use. Do not use caustic chemicals or harsh
abrasives.
