SeCTION 3 INSTAllATION Pump Pressure Adjustment Pump pressure is pre-set at the factory for 130 psi (9 bar), output coolant pressure may be adjusted by opening or closing the by-pass valve on the pump. The by-pass valve adjustment screw is located under the large acorn nut on the pump body.
2. Periodically check the coolant pressure and flow through the system. 3. Periodically inspect the radiators for build-up of airborne dust or other residues that may hinder the cooling capacity of the PCC-10. 4. When tightening fittings, use wrench on both male and female fittings to prevent damage to fittings or plumbing.
