Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an
authorized technician.The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil
and grease at all times.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool or engine work surface before operating.
11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate
any tool when you are tired.
12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding
of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other
condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
13. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are

warning labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate
the tool.

9. Before testing, review and follow instructions from the vehicle manufacturer’s
service manual.

Warnings
The vehicle engine must never be started in a closed garage, or any other
sealed structure. Carbon monoxide is produced during operation and is deadly
in a closed environment. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have any of these signs
get fresh air immediately.
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (Cali-
fornia Health & Safety Code 25249.5 et seq.)
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure the following parts are included. Refer to the
Parts List and Drawing at the end of this manual. If any parts are missing or
broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual.
Operation
Caution: Before making connections and testing, place a dry chemical (Class
B) fire extinguisher nearby.
The components in this Fuel Injection Test Kit enable the testing of the fuel deliv-
ery pressure to the engine. Pressure Gauge (1) connections are made either
directly to the pump, or in-line with the pump and engine.
1. Relieve the fuel line pressure from the vehicle fuel system.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for instruction on relieving
pressure from the fuel line, testing procedures and connection points, and
normal pressure readings.
2. Use the various fittings and hoses to connect the Pressure Gauge (1) directly
to the fuel pump, as in the case of the VW®, or in-line with the fuel pump and
engine for most other vehicles. See connection examples on the next page.

Use a small amount of pipe compound or teflon tape on the connection
threads to prevent leaks. Tighten using a wrench (not supplied).
Caution: Make sure all connections are tight to avoid fuel leaks.
3. Start the engine and immediately check for fuel leaks. If fuel leaks are found,
turn engine off and fix leaks.
4. Read the pressure off the Pressure Gauge (1).
5. Turn off the engine and remove the keys from the ignition.
6. Wrap a cloth around the hose connection point before relieving the pressure
from the fuel line, and remove testing components.
7. Reconnect vehicle’s fuel injection line.
8. Wipe up any spilled fuel. Dispose of fuel-soaked rags in a fireproof container.
9. Start the engine and check for leaks. Fix leaks if found.
10. Clean and store Fuel Injection Test Kit components and place in the plastic kit
bag.
