Many people have an old tonometer in their closet. It has been lying there for years, but all hands do not reach to put the rubbish in the bin outside. You should not do this, because with the help of such a device you can significantly improve your existence with the “iron horse”. About this – in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Let’s start with the fact that a stethoscope always comes with the blood pressure monitor. Therefore, we will focus on that. Few people know that the device is perfect for basic car diagnostics. In particular, it can be used to search for different sounds. At the same time, save money on a special car stethoscope, which is now expensive.
First we need to remove the acoustic head from the old device. Next, we take an ordinary electrode or a metal rod, insert it into the sound-conducting tube and fix it. All! Now you can search the running engine for abnormal noises from various parts. For example, bearings and other rotating assemblies. Don’t be afraid of getting burned on the hot parts of the engine or touching the drive belt with your sleeve. And after all, this can end not only with the fact that he jumps off the guides, but also with a serious injury to the hand.
Different noises coming from the same bearings will indicate that they need to be replaced soon. After all, if this is not done, backlash will appear, which will lead to malfunctions.
Let’s not forget that the tonometer also has an inflatable cushion. It is also very useful in the automotive industry. To remove it, disconnect the two air supply hoses and take the product out of the case. Further, with the help of an insulating material, we “dampen” the second fitting, from which air will escape. As a result, the so-called pneumo clinic is ready. It is useful if the keys remain in the ignition and the doors are closed. A thin pillow is easy to push through a narrow doorway. And then we pump it with air and we get a larger opening. A long cord with a hook will already crawl through it, which will help to get into the car.
Finally, one more trick. The same pillow can be placed under the lower back for easy inflation. You get something like adjustable lumbar support. Most expensive cars have this option. As a result, the back will not get very tired on a long journey. And the driver will not spend money on improving comfort.
