OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. The Compression Tester features an Adapter Fitting (2) with its Rubber Cone that
may be used on
all types
of spark plug holes and a Hose Fitting (4) that may be
used for
14mm
and
18mm
spark plug holes. (See Figure A.)
3. To perform a typical compression test, prepare the engine for compression test-
ing by starting the engine and allowing it to warm up to its normal operating
temperature. Then, switch off the ignition. WARNING! Avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning! Never run a gasoline engine in an enclosed garage or other
contained area.
4. Once the engine has been turned off, disconnect both coil wires from the coil of
the engine, and remove all of the spark plugs. Note: Insulate coil wires or route
them away from each other and all metal surfaces. Make note of which spark
plug wires go to each spark plug locations. (See Figures B and C, next page.)
