FAQs
How often should I clean the pump?
Clean the pump and reservoir after each use to prevent contamination and ensure optimal performance.
What kind of fluid can I use with this pump?
Only use brake fluid designed for your vehicle.
Can I use this pump on other systems?
Yes, you can use the pump to test other vacuum-operated systems in a car.
What should I do if the pump handle feels stiff?
The pump handle should feel smooth. If it's stiff, check the cylinder for debris or corrosion and clean it or lubricate it if needed.
What is the pressure gauge range?
The pressure gauge reads from 0 to -30 inHg (0 to -760mmHg).
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes a brass cylinder hand-operated pump with a gauge, long and short lengths of tubing, bleed nipple adaptors, and a reservoir with a lid.
How do I choose the correct adaptor?
Select the adaptor that best fits the bleed nipple on your vehicle. Ensure a tight, leak-proof fit to ensure the pump works effectively.
Troubleshooting
Pump doesn't create vacuum.
Check all connections for leaks. Ensure the hose and adaptor are securely attached. Inspect the pump cylinder for damage or wear.
Gauge reading is inaccurate.
Check for leaks in the system. The gauge may need recalibration or replacement if it's consistently off.
Brakes still feel spongy after bleeding.
Ensure all air is removed from the system. Double-check all bleed nipples and connections. Consider bleeding the master cylinder.
