ASSEMBLY

1.  Remove all contents from the package.
2.  Install the swivel casters. Insert the caster bolt through 

the designated open holes on the front of the unit. The 

washer should be placed over the bolt, followed by the 

lock washer, then the retaining nut. Tighten the retaining 

nut using a 19mm socket or wrench.

3.  Fully open the valve lever on coupler attached to 

the top of the fluid reservoir. Screw in the adjustable 

extension to the threaded portion of the coupler.  

NOTE

With the valve lever completely open, the 

extension will enter the reservoir.

4.  Press the funnel onto the top of the extension.

OPERATION 

WARNING

Always read the product warnings, safety  

instructions, and assembly instructions prior to use. 
1.  Adjust the height of the funnel to the lowest setting, by 

untightening the adjustment knob on the extension.

2.  Move the oil drain under the raised vehicle, ensuring 

the funnel is centered directly below the engine oil drain 

plug.

3.  Grasping the top of the extension, raise the funnel until 

the funnel is approximately 4” below the oil drain plug. 

While supporting the top of the extension, tighten the 

adjustment knob until finger tight.

4.  Ensure the valve lever on the coupler is completely 

open before moving to Step 6.

5.  Ensure the valve on the evacuation hose is completely 

closed before moving to Step 6.

6.  Remove the engine oil drain plug and allow the used 

oil to completely drain into the funnel.

7.  After the oil has drained completely, lower the funnel 

as described in Step 1, and remove from under the 

vehicle.

NOTE

Roll the oil drain with caution when at capacity. The 

center of gravity may shift, causing the drain to tip.

NOTE

Check drain capacity using the drain level indicator on 

the side of the reservoir.

EVACUATION INSTRUCTIONS 

1.  Carefully move the drain to an oil collection reservoir 

and place the drain hose into the collection reservoir. 

NOTE

Ensure the hose is free of blockages and kinks.

2.  Raise the extension to the highest setting, so that the 

extension is completely removed from the inside of the 

reservoir. While supporting the top of the extension, 

tighten the adjustment knob.

3.  Close the valve lever on the coupler (horizontal 

position). 

NOTE

The valve lever on the coupler must be completely 

closed to allow evacuation.
