You don't need a diagram. Pull the MPS hose off the plenum and stick the vacuum tip into the end of it. Pump it to 15. Watch the dial to see how fast it drops.

Geoff.....have one in my stock that is going to another member. Ever heard of one that holds 20" with no leakdown for 15 minutes? Pulled 20" and let it sit on my desk overnight....in the AM it was still holding 5".
Maybe I should keep it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
