WARNING: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid or
other automotive battery is dangerous. Wear eye protection. Never smoke or
allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. Do not connect the black
power clip to the negative post of the battery to avoid a spark.
8. Press the DIPSTICK MODE button. The light on the button will illuminate.
DRAIN PAN
Note: If transmission filter is to be replaced, perform the following procedure before removing
the transmission pan. If not, skip to the next procedure.
1. Light on DIPSTICK MODE button should be illuminated. Press the DRAIN PAN button on the keypad.
2. Buzzer will sound once and DRAIN PAN light will illuminate. If an error occurs the buzzer will sound three
times and the ATX-3 PLUS BOOST will not proceed with the procedure, check all connections.
3. The ATX-3 PLUS BOOST will withdraw used transmission fluid into the used fluid tank. The amount can
be viewed on used LED readout and on Used Fluid Level Indicator on left side of ATX-3 PLUS BOOST.
4. When all possible fluid has been withdrawn, the buzzer will sound continuously.
DIPSTICK MODE FLUID EXCHANGE (4,8,12,16,20 LITER)
1. Determine vehicle transmission fluid capacity from the vehicle operator or service manual.
2. Light on DIPSTICK MODE button should be illuminated. Press the corresponding LITER button, always
round up (for example if vehicle capacity is 6.5 liters, an 8 liter exchange would be selected).
3. If the ATX-3 PLUS BOOST is unable to remove any fluid from the pan within first 30 seconds FloErr (Flow
Error) message will be displayed and process will be aborted. Check if dipstick tube is inserted properly,
to appropriate depth (see Page 11). Another reason for this message is an insufficient amount of
transmission fluid in the vehicle transmission pan.
4. The change of fluid can be monitored through the ATX-3 PLUS BOOST dip tube hose. This hose displays
the new bright red fluid leaving the ATX-3 PLUS BOOST and the dirty brown to black fluid coming from
the vehicle transmission system. The color of the used should become almost equal to the new as the
exchange ends.
5. The process will start, removing and then replacing as much fluid as possible. The START ENGINE light
will then illuminate.
6. Start the engine and then press the START ENGINE button. There will be 10 second delay after START
ENGINE button is pressed to allow the new fluid to intermix with fluid in transmission system. After 10
seconds, the exchange will continue.
7. There is a 10 second pause after each refill.
8. If machine is unable to retrieve more than 0.4 of a quart from the pan while engine is running, the Flo Err
(Flow Error) message will be displayed and process needs to be aborted. Stop the process and refill fluid
to match required level.
9. When the exchange of transmission fluid is complete the buzzer will sound continuously and the
PROCESS COMPLETE light will stay illuminated until the STOP button is pressed.
10. Remove Dip Tube Hose and check dipstick for level. If necessary, the Dip Tube Hose can be re-inserted
and the +1/2, -1/2 LITER buttons pressed as required to correct fluid level.
