2. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump with gauge to each vacuum port.
3. Apply vacuum to the upper port, approximately 18 in Hg.
4. Apply vacuum to lower port, approximately 11 in Hg.
5. Both ports should hold vacuum.
6. With vacuum holding on both ports, release vacuum to upper port. Lower port vacuum should vent when this is done.
