Before first use 

 

Read this manual and all warnings in its entirety. 

 

Identify the fluid type and expiration date of the fluid to be 
used in the tank. We suggest marking with a black permanent 
marker on a self-adhesive write-on label or clear cellophane tape 
affixed onto the tank in the silver square for contrast.  

 

Flow a few cups of oil through the valve assembly and hose to 
flush any contaminants remaining from the assembly process and to 
purge any remaining air. 

 

Use only the type of fluid for which this servicing unit has been 
designed. Other fluids will damage seals and the integrity of the 
unit.

Normal Operation 

1)

 

Remove the pump cartridge and insure there are no foreign objects 
/ liquids in the top of the pump cartridge unit (reference figure 
1). 

2)

 

Fill the tank with 1 gallon of appropriate fluid. 

3)

 

Snug tighten the pump cartridge by hand. Do not over tighten, or 
the cartridge will flatten the sealing gasket away from the 
sealing surface and a leak will occur. 

4)

 

Pump up to operating pressure of 20-25psi. 

5)

 

Connect hose to the service pump and purge the line of air by 
slowly operating the flow valve with the end of the hose 
discharging into a cup until only fluid comes out, then close 
flow valve. 

6)

 

Appropriately connect servicing hose to the reservoir to be 
serviced. 

7)

 

With tank upright, operate flow valve to service reservoir. Do 
not
 tilt the tank during this process. This is so that the 
internal straw does not cavitate and suck air into the system. 

8)

 

When servicing of the reservoir is completed, close flow valve, 
disconnect hose, attach dust cap onto coupler, and slowly unscrew 
pump cartridge to relieve air pressure from the tank.

Storage 

Store unit in the following manner: 
A.

 

Unpressurized indoors, below 75°F, and away from sunlight.  

B.

 

In such a way as to prevent foreign objects / liquids from 
entering at the top of the pump cartridge (figure 1). When the 
pump rod is actuated to pressurize the tank, these 
contaminants can be sucked into the cartridge and pushed into 
the tank. While the filter will remove solids, it cannot 
distinguish between other liquids.
