3. Attach Smoke Output Hose: Connect one end of the smoke output hose to the "SMOKE OUTPUT" port on the unit.
4. Install Hanger: Screw the provided hanger into the designated port on the top of the unit for convenient suspension under the vehicle's hood.

Enstriksyon Operasyon

1. Prepare Vehicle System: Disconnect the intake pipe of the car or the system you intend to test. Use appropriate adapters to seal the system and connect the smoke output hose.
2. Pouvwa sou: Flip the "SMOKE SWITCH" to the "ON" position. The "POWER" indicator light will illuminate.
3. Initiate Smoke Generation: The unit will begin generating smoke. Allow approximately 2 minutes for the smoke to fully fill the pipe system (for small vehicles; larger vehicles may take longer).
4. Locate Leaks: Visually inspect the system for any escaping smoke, which indicates a leak point. Using a flashlight can enhance visibility of the smoke.

5. Etenn: Once testing is complete, flip the "SMOKE SWITCH" to the "OFF" position and disconnect the power.

EVAP System Detection

For American cars produced after 1996, EVAP service ports are typically located in the engine compartment. Some special models may have them elsewhere.

1. Locate the EVAP service port and open its plastic cover.
2. Use a spool wrench to remove the check valve clockwise.
3. Install the appropriate EVAP service port adapter.
4. Introduce smoke from the smoke output hose into the EVAP leak detection system through the adapter.

Wide Testing Range and Leakage Examples

The AUTOOL SDT 100 is capable of performing smoke tests on a variety of automotive systems, including:

• EVAP Systems
• Sistèm konsomasyon
• Cooling / EGR / Exhaust Systems
• Crankcase Systems
• Engine Airtightness
• Vacuum Leaks
• Low Pressure Turbo Leaks

It is applicable for cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks, and speedboats.

Common Leakage Issues:

• Vacuum Hose Rupture: Can lead to a rich mixture, increased idle speed, difficulty starting when hot, engine surging during acceleration, significantly increased fuel consumption, and black smoke from the exhaust pipe.
• Bloke: May cause idle speed drift and frequent stalling at idle.
• Air Leakage in Vacuum Tube: Results in weak engine performance.

Smart Protection Features

The smoke machine is equipped with overheat and freeze protection. If the device operates for an extended period and the temperature exceeds 75°C, it will enter a self-protection state and intelligently power off. The indicator light will turn off, and smoke generation will stop until the temperature returns to a safe level. The built-in air pump can be used to cool the equipment. Do not fill oil while the unit is working.

Antretyen

• Regularly check the test oil level and refill as needed.
• Ensure all connections are secure before and during operation.
• Sere aparèy la nan yon kote ki fre, sèk lè li pa itilize.
• Do not fill oil while the device is operating.

Depanaj

• No Smoke Output:
  • Check if the power connections are secure and correct (positive to positive, negative to negative).
  • Ensure the "SMOKE SWITCH" is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify that there is sufficient test oil in the unit.
  • Allow adequate warm-up time (approx. 2 minutes).
• Aparèy surchof: The smart protection system will automatically shut down the unit. Allow it to cool down naturally or use the built-in air pump to assist cooling.
• Weak Smoke Output: Check for proper sealing of the system being tested. Ensure the smoke output hose is securely connected.
