FAQs
What is the accuracy of the gauge?
The gauge has an accuracy of 4%.
What types of hydraulic systems can this kit be used on?
This kit is designed for use on both brake and clutch hydraulic systems.
What does PSI stand for?
PSI stands for pounds per square inch, a unit of pressure.
How do I connect the gauge?
Use the provided adaptors to connect the gauge to the master cylinder access hole, then connect the hoses using the JIC quick disconnects.
Can I use this kit on anti-lock braking systems (ABS)?
Yes, this kit can be used on vehicles with ABS; however, ensure all safety procedures related to ABS are followed.
What should I do if the gauge reads higher than expected?
Ensure you are using the correct pressure specifications for the vehicle. Check the system for blockages or other issues that might be causing overpressure.
Troubleshooting
Gauge reads zero pressure.
Check all connections to ensure they are secure. Inspect the hose for any kinks or damage. Verify that the master cylinder is properly sealed.
Pressure drops rapidly.
This indicates a leak. Inspect the brake lines, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder for fluid leaks. Repair or replace the faulty components.
Inconsistent pressure readings.
Ensure the connections are tight and the adaptors are properly seated. Check the gauge for damage.
