Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions when using this product:

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, to prevent contact with engine fluids and test chemicals.
• Ensure the engine is cool before opening the radiator cap to avoid scalding from hot coolant.
• Perform tests in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of exhaust fumes.
• Keep the test fluid out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
• Dispose of used test fluid and coolant according to local environmental regulations.
• Do not use the kit if any components are damaged or appear faulty.

Setup

Before performing a test, ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is on a level surface. Follow these steps to set up the kit:

1. Prepare the Test Fluid: Fill the lower chamber of the CO2 Leak Detector Tester Unit with the blue test fluid up to the indicated fill line.
2. Access the Radiator: Carefully remove the radiator cap. If the coolant level is too high, remove some coolant to prevent it from entering the tester unit.
3. Attach the Adapter: Select the appropriate rubber cone adapter that fits snugly into the radiator neck. Insert the adapter into the radiator opening.
4. Connect the Tester: Attach the flexible hose to the top of the rubber cone adapter and the bottom inlet of the CO2 Leak Detector Tester Unit. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leaks.
5. Prepare the Pump: Connect the rubber bulb/pump to the top outlet of the CO2 Leak Detector Tester Unit.

Operating Instructions

Once the kit is set up, follow these steps to perform the combustion leak test:

1. Start the Engine: Start the vehicle's engine and let it idle. Do not rev the engine excessively during the test.
2. Draw Air Samples: Squeeze and release the rubber bulb/pump repeatedly to draw air from the cooling system through the test fluid in the tester unit. Continue this process for approximately 5-10 minutes.
3. Observe Fluid Color Change: Monitor the color of the test fluid in the lower chamber.
• If the fluid remains blue, it indicates no combustion gases (CO2) are present in the cooling system, suggesting no head gasket leak.
• If the fluid changes color to yellow or green, it indicates the presence of CO2, confirming a combustion leak (e.g., blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head).
4. Interpret Results: A color change signifies a positive result. The intensity of the color change (e.g., light green to bright yellow) may indicate the severity of the leak.
5. Conclude Test: Once the test is complete, turn off the engine.
6. Disassemble and Clean: Carefully disconnect the tester unit and adapter. Pour the used test fluid into the empty bottle for proper disposal. Clean the tester unit and adapters with water before storing.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Pyhodi Cylinder Head Gasket Tester Kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the tester unit, hose, and adapters with clean water. Ensure no residual test fluid or coolant remains.
• Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before storing them in the case. Moisture can affect the integrity of the test fluid and components.
• Storage: Store the kit in its original durable storage case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Fluid Replacement: The test fluid is consumed during each test. Ensure you have sufficient replacement fluid for future use. Store new fluid in its original sealed container.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all rubber components (adapters, hose, bulb) for cracks, tears, or signs of wear. Replace any damaged parts to maintain proper sealing and function.
