stand. Start the test stand. When solid fuel
begins to flow from the snubber, turn gauge
upright quickly and assemble to snubber. Let
test stand run while gauge is tightened securely
to snubber.
6. Assemble gauge to mounts secure with machine
screws and nuts.
7. Start test stand and observe gauge hand rise
from 0 to 120 psi [0 to 827 kPa]. It should take
approximately 2 to 3 seconds for hand to rise to
120 psi [827 kPa]. If gauge hand is slow to rise
and fall, carefully repeat Steps 1 through 6.
8. Check for gauge hand vibration, it should not
occur if copper line is properly routed and

a. Tubing must be adjusted so it is neither "pulling"
or "pushing" on the gauge.
b. Tubing on the gauge must not contact any
member of test stand such as frame, motor or
gear pump cover.
c. Contact of tubing to any member of test stand
will transmit mechanical vibration into gauge and
defeat purpose of snubbers and gauge mounts.
Changing Oil And Filter
When changing oil and filters in test stand, adjust
regulator to lowest possible pressure during pump pickup
to prevent air from being forced into gauge line. If slow
gauge hand response does occur, it is an indication air
entered the system and the bleeding process Steps 1
