  1. Open tester shutoff valve 3/4 to 1 3/4 turns from closed position. Blow dry injector nozzle tip. Slowly depress tester lever until pressure gauge reads 1400 psi (98 kg/cm2 ). Maintain pressure for 10 seconds and observe injector nozzle tip.
  2. A drop may form on end of injector nozzle, but should not fall off within a 10 second period. Replace injector nozzle if a drop of test fluid falls from tip during 10 second period. See Fig 1. Release tester pressure.
