MAINTENANCE (PUMP)

Dry Pump Vacuum Test

To perform the pump vacuum test do the following:

1.Perform all start-up steps without installing the hoses.

2.Block the suction with a plug or heavy rubber flap as shown in Figure 12. An accurate vacuum gauge should be installed in the plug or flap to check vacuum system performance and pump vacuum gauge.

2.Start the engine and run at 1,800 RPM. Note the maximum vacuum reading.

3.Shut off the engine and check the vacuum reading.The vacuum reading should be .75 to .9 Bar or 25 to 27 inches. Vacuum reading should hold for about 3 to 10 minutes before dropping to zero.If vacuum reading drops fast, check for leaks and repair if necessary. Listen for leaks. If area is quiet, small air leaks should be easy to hear.
