testing a vacuum line

[michaelh05478]

I will hopefully be installing my new vacuum pump soon! Can it be tested now or will i have to wait till i tap??? Thanks for any info.... :D

sure why not fire it up? as long as your taps are set in there caps you should be able to get some vac at your last tap, that way at least you can play with it a bit. I ran mine aftre I cleaned the lines, it pulled alot of the water out and cleaned the line to and from the releaser that way 8)

I haven't seen anything in the maple industry have an owners manual. Maybe they just figure we're all so smart.
