Sealey VS0042 - Manual (Page 2)

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and
apply safety instructions before use.
4.1. Preparation.
4.1.1. Set vehicle heater control to ‘On’ and/or ‘Hot’.
4.1.2. Drain and flush coolant system.
4.1.3. Inspect all coolant system components and repair/
replace any unserviceable items.
4.1.4. Prepare a suitable coolant mix (see vehicle hand
book). Mix 10% more than the system volume to
ensure that the filler hose will always be submerged.
4.1.5. Connect the VS0042 to the air system, as described
in Section 3.
4.2. Suction Filling.
4.2.1. Raise the container of coolant level with the fill point.
Using a suitable bush (fig.1) fit VS0042 into the filler
neck of the radiator (or header tank, if fitted).
Insert and support the air line so that VS0042 is not
pulled off centre.
NOTE: On some vehicles fitted with an overflow tank, it
may be necessary to clamp the overflow hose.
4.2.2. Open the valve (Fig.2) and turn on the air supply.
4.2.3. Allow the vacuum level to reach approximately
20-25inHg (50-60cmHg) and close the valve (Fig.3).
NOTE: During this procedure the radiator hoses will
collapse under the vacuum being generated - this is
normal.
4.2.4. Turn off and disconnect the air supply and remove
the vacuum pump, check the gauge over the next 3 minutes. If the gauge reading drops there is a system leak which will require locating
and rectifying before proceeding further.
4.2.5. Place the filler hose into the container of coolant and connect the other end of the hose into the VS0042 (Fig.4). Ensure that the end of
the hose remains submerged throughout the filling process.
4.2.6. Open the valve fully and coolant will flow into the cooling system. For best results raise the coolant container above the level of the filler
neck.
4.2.7. When the gauge reads ‘0’ turn the valve to the off position and remove VS0042 from the filler neck. If necessary top-up the
coolant to the specified level and refit the pressure cap. The system is filled and free from air locks.
4.2.8. Start the engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached. Allow to cool and top-up coolant if necessary.
4.2.9. It is advisable to now pressure test the system and to check the operation of the thermostat and cooling fan(s).
4.2.10. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
