INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

LEAD DETECTION AT THE EXHAUST

  1. - Test conditions:
  • Engine off.
  • Exhaust pipes warm but not hot.
  • Do not perform the test at a temperature below 0 °C.
  1. - If necessary, gently clean the inside of the exhaust outlet with a dry cloth to remove soot deposits.
  2. - Put on gloves, take a test paper and dampen it lightly with distilled water (if too wet, the paper loses its effectiveness).
  3. - Immediately after dampening, press the test paper onto the cleaned part of the exhaust and hold firm pressure for about one minute.
  4. - Remove the test paper and let it dry. The presence of lead is indicated by a red or pink colour on the test paper.

CAUTION: the lead test must be carried out on the rear exhaust outlet, never on the oxygen sensor.
