Apply vacuum slowly and continuously while watch-
ing the gauge. The vacuum should stabilize momen-
tarily at 0.8 - 2.1 kPa (6 - 16 mmHg, 0.2 - 0.6 in.Hg).
lf the vacuum stabilizes (valve opens) below
0.8 kPa {6 mmHg, 0.2 in.Hg) or above 2.1 kPa
(16 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg), install a new valve and retest.
Move the vacuum pump hose from the vacuum fit-

gauge hose from the vacuum side to the pressure
side as shown.
Slowlv pressurize the vapor line while watching the
