GENERAL
The compression tester is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of engines, which can be both age-related
and tear as well as leakage of the piston rings and valves notice. Through the adaptation of the
compression tester has a wide range of application such as. e.g. Diagnosis of cars, motorcycles and
other machines with 2- or 4-stroke engines.
SAFETY INFORMATIONS
•
Beware of tests on hot engines!
•
By hot exhaust manifold or other hot engine parts cause burns!
•
Remove the ignition key at assembly, so you prevent accidental starting.
•
Always observe the safety and installation instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
•
Diesel injection systems can build a very high pressure, never loosen the fuel lines, which are
under pressure. Risk of injury
INSTRUCTIONS
Gasoline engine test
1. Start the engine for about 15 minutes until it reaches normal temperature.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Disconnect the power to the ignition coils. The separation of the ignition cable alone can lead to
damage of the modern ignition systems.
4. Remove all the spark plugs from the cylinder head, put these in the order in which they were
developed. This can be helpful for further diagnosis.
5. Clean the spark plug threads with e.g. Compressed air.
6. Screw the appropriate adapter or the hose directly into the spark plug threads. Tighten the hose
and adapter by hand only. Do not use tools!
7. Now start the engine for at least 4 seconds, and give full throttle until the pressure on testers no
longer rises.
8. Note the maximum value and repeat the test on all remaining cylinders (step 5 to 8)
