Evaporative Emission System Tester Self Test
- Verify gas cylinder valve is closed and control valve (located on tester) is in TEST position. All tester displays should be off at this time.
- Connect long hose (part of SST ) to tester.
- Connect manifold assembly (part of SST ) to long hose as shown.
- Open gas cylinder valve and verify gas cylinder regulator left gauge reads 10 to 12 psi (preset at factory). If not, see tester operators manual to contact tester manufacturer.
- Press ON/OFF switch to turn on SST and make sure left display reads 0.0. Turn control valve on tester to FILL position.
- Verify left display reading is within 13.9 to 14.0 inches of water. If not, adjust pressure using regulator knob located on right side of tester.
- Turn control valve to TEST position and press START switch.
- After 2-minute countdown (left display) is completed, right display shows total pressure loss for that period. A 0.5 inch of water loss is acceptable on self-test. If loss is more than 0.5 inch of water, perform one or more self-test. If failed test repeats, check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector (part of SST ).
