1. Initial Setup

  1. Install Drain Valves: Securely install the cleaning/testing agent discharge valves (15, 16) at the bottom of the unit.
  2. Prepare Ultrasonic Tank: Place the injector holder tray into the ultrasonic cleaning tank (19).
  3. Connect Signal Wire: Connect the main signal wire (9) to the designated port on the unit.
  4. Power Connection: Ensure the unit is connected to a stable 110V power supply via the power socket (14).

2. Ultrasonic Cleaning Process

  1. Prepare Injectors: Connect the signal wires to the fuel injectors.
  2. Place Injectors: Carefully place the injectors into the ultrasonic cleaning tank (19) using the provided holder.
  3. Add Cleaning Fluid: Pour appropriate ultrasonic cleaning fluid into the tank, ensuring the injectors are submerged.
  4. Activate Power: Turn on the main power switch (13).
  5. Start Ultrasonic Cleaning: Press the Ultrasonic Switch (12) and select the ultrasonic cleaning function on the operation panel (6) to begin the cleaning cycle. Observe the fluid for cavitation bubbles, indicating the cleaning action.
  6. Heating Mode (Optional): For enhanced cleaning, activate the Heating Switch (11) to warm the cleaning fluid to approximately 45°C.

3. Fuel Injector Testing Process

  1. Install Injectors: After cleaning, install the fuel injectors onto the oil rail (18) and secure them using the lock pole (7) and lock nuts (2).
  2. Connect Fuel Lines: Connect the blue fuel line from the top oil inlet connector (3) to the oil rail.
  3. Add Test Fluid: Pour appropriate test fluid into the main reservoir through the top oil inlet connector (3) using the provided funnel. Ensure the fluid level is within the indicated range on the testing agent liquid level (17).
  4. Connect Signal Wires: Reconnect the signal wires (9) to the injectors.
  5. Select Test Function: On the operation panel (6), select the desired test function (e.g., Idle Speed Test, Leakage Test, Spray Volume Test).
  6. Adjust Pressure: Use the pressure regulating knob (10) to adjust the system pressure as required for the selected test, monitoring the pressure gauge (1).
  7. Observe Results: Observe the spray pattern and volume in the glass measuring cylinders (4) during the test. The digital display will show working time and injecting times.
  8. Drain Test Fluid: After testing, use the oil drain handle (5) and the testing agent drain valve (16) to recover the test fluid.
