PART UPGRADE DESCRIPTION

EVAP SYSTEM TESTER KIT LID INSTRUCTIONS DECAL

This decal will replace the existing decal that is located on the inside lid of the EVAP tester case. The revised decal will provide a new diagram with a clear layout for hooking up the new EVAP brass adapter, as well as a revised diagram for hook-up of the gas cap tester.

PUMP OUTLET HOSE TIE WRAP

The tie wrap will be used to secure the pump outlet hose that is located on the air pump of the EVAP System Tester Kit. The pump outlet hose must be secured with a tie wrap to discourage improper hose removal/attachment.

EVAP BRASS ADAPTER

The new EVAP brass adapter will enable technicians to perform enhanced pinpoint testing. This brass adapter is a multi-sized hose fitting that can adapt to various sized hoses and will simply screw directly onto the threaded end of the tester hose.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

  2. Make sure that the application area is clean of debris and dry.

PUMP OUTLET HOSE TIE WRAP INSTALLATION

  1. Place the pump outlet hose tie wrap (P/N 00002 872A-TIE) around the pump outlet hose. See Fig 1.
  2. Tighten the tie wrap until the hose is secure and cannot be removed.

NOTE: The hose should not be removed for this tie wrap installation procedure.
