HOW TO USE:

1. Ensure Engine is Cooled: Only test when the engine is cool. Never remove the radiator cap or test hot coolant.
2. Open Radiator Cap: Carefully remove the radiator or reservoir cap.
3. Insert Dip Tube: Place the tester’s dip tube into the coolant, making sure it is fully submerged.
4. Draw Coolant: Squeeze and release the rubber bulb to fill the tester’s chamber with coolant.
5. Read Measurement: Count the floating balls inside the chamber and compare with the tester’s scale.
