Air Pump

  1. Check all hoses for leaks and correct as necessary. Check air pump drive belt tension and adjust if necessary.
  2. Disconnect air pump hose at by-pass valve. Connect a pressure gauge to hose. Connect a tachometer to engine.
  3. With transmission in Neutral or Park and parking brake set, start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
  4. Slowly increase engine speed to 1000 RPM. The air pressure must be 21/4 psi minimum. If pressure gauge is not available, run engine at 1500 RPM and place hand over open end of hose. Air flow should be felt and heard.
  5. If air flow does not meet specifications, replace air pump assembly and repeat test.
