Setup
1. Connect the LeakTamer Plus red power cable to
a 12V DC power supply. If you are using a battery,
verify it is in good condition and fully charged. See
Figure 1.
2. Connect the LeakTamer Plus black ground cable
to the vehicle's chassis ground.
CAUTION: To prevent
personal injury, do NOT connect
the black cable to a battery
ground, because a spark in the
vicinity of the battery can cause
an explosion.
3. Depending on the tests you are performing, connect
either a nitrogen or shop air supply line to the water
separator located on the back of the tester. See
Figure 2.
When testing EVAP systems: Connect the
nitrogen line to the water separator.
When testing systems other than EVAP:
Connect the air supply line to the water separator.
We recommend the use of nitrogen on all
models, but shop air may be used if the OEM
does not require the use of nitrogen.
4. Verify shop air or nitrogen pressure is between
50 psi and 125 psi. (100 psi is recommended.)
Remember, all tests performed with the
LeakTamer Plus are performed with the
vehicle engine OFF.
