  • Page 1 VS402 MODEL Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance. IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS.
  • Page 2 Set out on the following pages are applications that the VS402 vacuum tester kit can be used for, but it must always be remembered that these are examples only and reference to manufacturer’s service manuals should always be made for correct testing procedures and specifications.
  • Page 3: Fuel Systems

    Testing Mechanical Fuel Pumps The VS402 vacuum tester can be used to evaluate the condition of a mechanical fuel pump by testing the vacuum that it is able to create. Locate and remove the suction line from the pump. Connect the VS402 vacuum tester to the suction port of the pump, start and run the engine at idle. The vacuum reading that should be observed will vary slightly on different makes and models but as a general rule approximately 15 inHg of vacuum should be created.
  • Page 4 VS402 vacuum tester (fig.11) and operate to apply vacuum to the bellows. Wait for 30 seconds, no drop on the gauge should be noted. If the bellows are found to be in order attach the vacuum supply line to the VS402 vacuum tester and operate system to test for vacuum supply. If the vacuum supply does not exist or is low trace back down the lines to the vacuum supply looking for kinks, restrictions or cracked lines.
  • Page 5: Braking Systems

    Automatic transmissions are normally equipped with a vacuum operated modulator valve in order for the automatic transmission to detect engine loads and adjust shift points to suit. The VS402 vacuum tester can be used to test both that the modulation valve diaphragm is serviceable and also to simulate varying engine loads so modulator pressure readings can be recorded.
