HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Engine: Ensure the engine is at or near operating temperature for accurate readings. Disconnect the fuel system to prevent fuel injection during cranking, and disable the ignition system.
2. Locate and Remove Glow Plug: Identify the cylinder you wish to test. Carefully remove the glow plug from that cylinder. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the glow plug or its port.
3. Install the Adapter: Thread the Lang Tools TU-15-80 adapter into the glow plug port by hand until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect Compression Gauge: Attach your diesel compression tester gauge to the adapter’s quick connect fitting. Ensure a secure connection.
5. Perform Test: With the throttle wide open, crank the engine for several revolutions until the compression gauge reading stabilizes. Note the reading.
6. Repeat for Other Cylinders: Disconnect the gauge and adapter. Reinstall the glow plug for the tested cylinder. Repeat steps 2-5 for each remaining cylinder you wish to test.
7. Reassemble: Once all tests are complete, reinstall all glow plugs and reconnect any disconnected fuel or ignition components.
