3. SPECIFICATION Model No:................................................................... VS869 Hose Length:............................................................ 1600mm Maximum Input Pressure: ............................................. 15psi Oil Reservoir Capacity: .................................................. 10ml Output Pressure: ................................................ 15psi (1 bar) Output Smoke: ............................................................ 6L/min Rubber Cone Sizes: ...5-10, 9-15, 14-19, 18-26, 25-35, 32-45, 45-60, 60-75mm.

4. ASSEMBLY 4.1. After unpacking, turn the machine so the back is facing (fig.2). 4.1.1. Connect the 12v power cables to the positive(+) and negative(-) sockets. 4.1.2. Connect the smoke hose to the smoke output by removing the locking nut, slip the nut over the hose, push fit the hose to the output

and then tighten the nut to hold the hose in place. 4.1.3. Connect the 12v power cables to the positive(+) and negative(-) terminals of a 12V car battery using the crocodile clips.

5. OPERATION 5.1. OPERATIONAL STEPS FOR AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TEST 5.1.1. Open the vehicles air filter cover and take out the air filter. 5.1.2. Take out the inflatable bladder from the accessory box and continue to squeeze it until the inflated diameter of the rubber bladder matches

the diameter of the air inlet. 5.1.3. Remove the oil filler cap (fig.1), add 10ml of test oil into it, and tighten the cap. 5.1.4. Turn on the power switch (fig.2). Then press the smoke mode button (fig.1). 5.1.5. Block the smoke/air nozzle and check that the gauge dial increases and is working correctly. Once pressure reaches 0.8kg/cm2 the check

is complete. Just press the Smoke Mode button for this test. 5.1.6. Connect smoke/air nozzle to the inflatable bladder. 5.1.7. The leak point of the air intake system can then be diagnosed by the escape of smoke/air. Reference the gauge/air flow meter to help

diagnose the level of leak. WARNING! It is not recommended to add more than 10ml of the test oil into the detector, otherwise it will cause the smoke generator to

stop working, smoke will not be generated and there is potential for an oil spill. If the product is used for an excessive period of time, the internal temperature of the machine will rise and the overheat alarm light will illuminate (fig.1). Please disconnect the power supply immediately to stop device working and allow it to cool down. It is not recommended to operate this product for more than 15 minutes at any one time.

5.2. OPERATIONAL STEPS FOR EVAP SYSTEM TEST In EVAP mode the vehicles EVAP system will receive a low pressure (0.8kg/cm2), the pump will cut out at that point but the pressure will hold. If the pump continues to run this would suggest a leak, and the smoke will help pin point the location.

5.2.1. Find the carbon canister on the car, and disconnect the fuel inlet/outlet tubing. 5.2.2. Take out the special adapter for EVAP system from the accessory box and connect it to the tubing you want to test. 5.2.3. Remove the oil filler cap (fig.1), add 10ml of test oil into it, and tighten the cap. 5.2.4. Turn on the power switch (fig.2). Then press the EVAP mode button and the smoke mode button respectively (fig.1). 5.2.5. When the pressure reaches 0.8kg / cm2, connect the smoke nozzle with the special adapter for EVAP system.

WARNING! Please make sure there are no open flames in the process of EVAP system test. 5.2.6. AIR FLOW METER 5.2.7. If there is no leak in the system, the meter sinks at the bottom and the pressure gauge pointer will rise (fig.1).

If the system leaks, the meter will float and pressure gauge pointer will drop. Using the air flow adjustment knob, you can adjust the flow of the smoke.

5.2.8. AIR PRESSURE GAUGE 5.2.9. By observing the pressure gauge pointer (fig.1), quickly find out whether the vehicle pipeline system leaks or not. 5.2.10. OIL LEVEL METER 5.2.11. The remaining oil level inside the machine can be checked using this meter (fig.1). If the oil is very yellow, replace the oil.

6. MAINTENANCE.

6.1. After the test, remove and clean the accessories. Then put them back into the box. 6.1.1. Remove the oil drain cap (fig.1), drain the test oil out and pour it back into the oil bottle. 6.1.2. Clean the main unit and check if there is any fault, loose connection or damage. 6.1.3. After use of the main unit and the accessories, please keep them in a cool, dry and dust-free place. 6.1.4. Smoke and oil will oxidise and deteriorate after being in high temperature for a long time, which will affect the service life of the smoke

generator. Please change the test oil regularly.
