start and stop automatically. To manually stop the 3C mid-cleaning push the Emergency Stop Switch located

on the front panel. Before performing a cleaning with the 3C check the vehicle's engine oil and coolant levels

and top off if needed. If the vehicle's engine is making any unusual noise check and repair prior to cleaning.

Summary of Contents for ATS 3C Intelligent Induction Cleaner

Page 1 This technology has been under development for over 4 years. It is extremely important to follow these directions. ATS cannot be responsible for any action taken by a shop or technician that is not stated in the following information. Doing any procedure that is not specifically stated by ATS is at the users own risk.
Page 2 The 3C was designed to limit the carbon accumulation in the gasoline based engine. The recommended maintenance cleaning on a Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) engine is every 30,000 miles. Some GDI engines will have heavy carbon accumulations with less mileage and will need to be cleaned more frequently. NOTE: cleaning results will vary in high mileage engines that have not had regular cleanings.
Page 3 C o nn ec ting your 3C t o a ve h ic l e Step 1: Push the air bleed valve on the back of the 3C. This will allow the air pressure to vent to the atmosphere before removing the chemical reservoirs. Step 2: To remove and fill the 3 reservoirs on the back of the machine unscrew the reservoirs counter clockwise.
Page 4 Step 4: Select the proper Intake Adapter Hose. Make sure the hose has a good connection. Tapered plugs are made to fit inside an induction port. The remaining plugs fit over a port fitting. If a secure connection cannot be obtained DO NOT START THE 3C.
Page 5 Step 8: If the engine has intake charge valves these will need to be opened during the entire cleaning process. If these are closed the chemical will not be able to properly clean the induction system. There are 2 types of these valves; vacuum and electric. If the valve is vacuum operated pull the vacuum hose off and connect a vacuum pump so the valve can be opened.
Page 6 Step 12: Select the number of cylinders that the engine actually has. This will assure that the correct amount of chemical is delivered. NOTE: Always select the proper number of cylinders for the vehicle’s engine. Each cylinder number selection will change the amount of chemical delivered in each pulse to the engine.
Page 7 DO NOT CRANK THE ENGINE OVER. FIRST, REMOVE ALL SPARK PLUGS, THEN MAKE SURE TO DISABLE SPARK. NOW CRANK OVER THE ENGINE UNTIL ALL CHEMICAL IS OUT OF THE ENGINE. In the unlikely event this occurs please let ATS know. Step 18:...
