Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, identify the correct color-coded adapter for your vehicle's radiator filler neck. Ensure the engine is completely cool before attempting to remove the radiator cap or attach the tester. Once the adapter is hand-tightened, connect the pump hose to the adapter to begin pressurization. Compatibility spans most major Japanese, European, and American manufacturers; always consult your vehicle service manual for the specified testing pressure limit to avoid damaging components. After use, rinse all adapters and hoses with clean water to remove residual coolant, allow them to air dry completely, and return them to their designated slots in the carrying case to maintain the kit's integrity.
