Parts List and Diagram 

on page 14.

General Operating instructions

1.  Before using the Fluid Extractor on a vehicle, 

park the vehicle on a flat, level surface. 

2.  Shut down the vehicle and chock its tires.

3.  Before beginning fluid extraction, disconnect 

the negative battery cable to prevent 
accidental starting of the vehicle’s engine.

Engine Oil or transmission Fluid Extraction

1.  When removing engine oil, run the engine 

for at least 5 minutes to warm the oil.

2.  Remove the oil dipstick from the engine, or 

remove the transmission fluid dipstick or fill plug.

3.  Insert the end of the appropriate Extracting Tube 

without the adapter into the dipstick opening of the 
engine until it reaches the bottom of the oil pan or 

into the dipstick fill hole of the transmission until 

it reaches the bottom of the transmission pan.

nOtE:

  Do not bend the Extracting Tube 

when inserting.  Narrower dipstick tubes may 
prevent insertion of the Extracting Tubes.

4.  Insert the adapter on the other end of the Extracting 

Tube into the Fluid Coupler on top of the Reservoir 
Tank.  Insert the adapter fully to avoid leaking.

5.  With the Air Control Valve in the closed 

position, attach the air supply to the Air Inlet.

6.  Turn on the air supply and open the Air 

Control Valve.  It will take several seconds for 
vacuum to build in the Reservoir Tank before 

oil or transmission fluid begins to flow.

7.  As the fluid starts to flow, continue until all fluid 

has been extracted.  When finished, close the Air 
Control Valve, detach the air supply and remove 
the Extracting Tube from the dipstick opening.

8.  If the tool requires more force to accomplish 

the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, 
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the 
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the 
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.

cautiOn!  tO prEVEnt inJury FrOM 
tOOL Or accESSOry FaiLurE: 
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum 
air pressure rating.

9.  Disconnect the Extracting Tube from the Fluid 

Coupler and remove the Coupler from the Spout.  
Pour the collected fluid into an appropriate 
container and dispose of in accordance with 
all applicable local, state and federal laws.  
Do not store fluid in the Reservoir Tank.

10.  Clean external surfaces of the tool with a 

clean, dry cloth. Clean the Reservoir Tank with 
compatible solvent that will not damage it to 
remove accumulated debris.  Dispose of solvent 
properly and allow Reservoir Tank to air dry 
completely, then store in a safe, dry, clean location 
out of reach of children.  Do not allow solvent to 
sit in Reservoir Tank for an extended period.
