General Maintenance• If you are using the analyzer in a moving vehicle, make sure your eyes are onthe road at all times. Use the analyzer touch screen to turn on and off datarecording before beginning to drive.• If using the analyzer in a moving vehicle, make sure the exhaust hosesdischarge out the window. The analyzer’s exhaust contains poisonous exhaustgas that must be ventilated to a safe space.✓ Connect the long hose to the system exhaust and place it outside thevehicle. Do not pinch the hose.• If a significant amount of data is stored in a pocket PC, periodically deletecustomers and data.• Certain gases are produced only when driving a vehicle under certainconditions. NO x is typically generated only when a car is under load. Generally,when testing a car for emissions, many garages attempt to simulate the test thatis conducted in their local state.• The Analyzer must be oriented on a flat surface. Low flow may occur when theanalyzer is sitting on a severe incline. The float in the water trap / filter bowl mayshut down the unit if tipped excessively.• If the analyzer is used where a very high level of hydrocarbons and water exists,hydrocarbon (HC) hangup may result. HC hangup is present if you are samplingair and HC registers a value. Running the pump for an extended period of timeafter use in this type of environment causes the condition to clear.4-12

5InterpretationThe section includes:• Data Analysis Guidelines, page 5-2• Air-Fuel Ratio Effects, page 5-3• Correction Factors, page 5-3• Five Gas Combination Readings, page 5-5Interpreting gas concentrations under a given set of conditions becomes a matter of:• Understanding engine operation and the system or systems under test,• Understanding the relationships of exhaust gas concentrations to eachother, to the engine operation and to the catalytic converter, and• Applying logic to the possible causes, while eliminating those that are notprobable, and selecting the most likely of the possible causes.Applying logic becomes the diagnostic technique used to determine the cause ofunacceptable readings, together with a course of action that includes one or moreof the following variables:• Change engine speed, load, or both,• Defeat air management,• Enrich the fuel mixture with propane,• Create a vacuum leak to lean the fuel mixture, and• Use other test equipment such as an oscilloscope, vacuum gauge, or scanner.5-1
