Modes of Operation
Refer to Page 2 and Figure 2 for details on the
following procedures.
Charging the Tank (Vacuum)
NOTE: Check Level Gauge (25). Refer
to the section entitled Emptying the
Tank should the Gauge show fluid at the
highest level.
1. Open Valve (A) fully by turning counterclockwise.
• This releases any pressure within the Tank
through Muffler (10).
2. Close Ball Valves (D), (E), and (F).
3. Open Ball Valves (B), and (C).
4. Set the air supply to a maximum of 100 psi
(7 bar).
• This establishes the best vacuum efficiency.
5. Attach the air supply to Connector (C1).
6. Close Ball Valve (C) once Vacuum Gauge (1)
reaches the red zone (approximately 3 minutes).
7. Disconnect the air supply from Connector (C1).
NOTE: The extractor can be operated
with the air supply connected.
Oil Extraction
NOTE: Check Level Gauge (25). Refer
to the section entitled Emptying the
Tank should the Gauge show fluid at the
highest level.
Crankcase oil temperature must be at
least 158°
F (70° C) for best efficiency.
8. Remove the vehicle’s crankcase dipstick and insert
the largest Wand (40).
9. Insert Suction Hose Connector (42) into the Wand.
10. Open Ball Valve (E) and close once the crankcase
is empty.
Emptying the Tank
11. Position the opened nozzle on Drain Hose (22) into an
appropriate collection container.
12. Close Valves (A), (B), and (C).
• Turn Valve (A) fully clockwise.
13. Open Ball Valves (D) and (F).
CAUTION
Do not exceed 7 psi (0.5 bar) air pressure when empty-
ing the extractor. Damage to components can occur.
14. Set the air supply to a maximum of 7 psi (0.5 bar).
15. Attach air supply to Connector (F1), then disconnect once
the Tank is empty.
