11. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
12. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of injury.
13. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate
surrounding workspace. Keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other
debris. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
14. Maintain labels and nameplates on this product. These carry important information.

15. Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from brake fluid, oil, and grease.
16. Before use read and understand all warnings, safety precautions, and instructions as
outlined in the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. Every vehicle has specific
measurement values for vacuum related readings. It is beyond the scope of this manual
to properly describe the correct procedure and test data for each vehicle.
17. Carbon monoxide is produced while a vehicle’s engine is operating and is deadly in a
closed environment. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the work area may not be vented
properly. Get fresh air immediately.
18. Prior to using the Vacuum Pump, place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK”
(if automatic) or “NEUTRAL” (if manual). Then, block the tires with chocks.
19. Be alert for hot engine parts to avoid accidental burns.
20. Use the Brake Bleeder only with brake fluid. Do not attempt to use the tool to siphon any
other liquids. Damage to the internal chamber and seal, or future brake fluid contamination
may result.
21. Follow guidelines for proper brake fluid disposal. Used brake fluid should be removed from
the vehicle and properly recycled. Many states require recycling. Contact your local solid/liquid
waste authority for information on recycling. Do not reuse old brake fluid.
22. Brake fluid may damage paint. Clean up spilled fluid quickly.
23. The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
24. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible

and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
