The DRAIN PAN feature allows the operator to remove fluid to perform transmission filter changes
or other service work on the transmission. The on-board battery feature allows RESUME-REFILL
amount retention while transmission service is performed. To drain transmission and re-fill:
Drain Pan, Filter Changes, or Other Services
1)
Bring vehicle to normal operating temperature.
Turn off vehicle!!!
2)
Check vehicle’s owners manual for specified transmission fluid type and capacity. Fill the
ATF
2
D
new fluid tank with appropriate amount and type of transmission fluid to perform fluid
re-filling. Drain used tank using proper disposal practices as required if over half full.
3)
Remove vehicle’s transmission fluid level dipstick. Insert dipstick extraction wand into
vehicle’s transmission dipstick tube as far as possible until resistance is felt. Remove dipstick
extraction wand and verify the wand’s tip has accessed the available transmission fluid sump.
Re-insert dipstick extraction wand.
4)
Connect the
ATF
2
D
to the vehicle’s 12v battery, making sure to observe all applicable safety
precautions. Should the connection inadvertently be reversed, REVERSE POLARITY light
will be lit along with a steady audible alarm until the correct connection is made. The on-board
battery can be used if it is sufficiently charged from past operation of the unit.
Once correct battery connection is made, (or not if using on-board battery), turn Main Power
switch to the ON position. Alarm will sound for two seconds, all of the LED’s will
momentarily turn on, the POWER and READY lights will turn on and the NEW and USED
readouts will display quantities of correspondi ng fluid in each tank. If fluid in the NEW tank is
low or the fluid in the USED tank is high, take the appropriate steps at this time to add NEW,
or empty USED fluid(s).
5)
Select DRAIN PAN function and USED fluid is removed. NEW fluid display will blank and
the USED fluid display will increase as USED fluid is removed from the vehicle.
Unit will sense that all accessible USED fluid has been removed from vehicle when USED
fluid level ceases to change for a period of twenty seconds. This step is complete when DRAIN
PAN LED turns off, READY light turns on, amount to RESUME-REFILL is in NEW fluid
display, and alert sounds.
NOTE:
If USED tank reaches 31.8 quarts before DRAIN PAN process is complete, the
DRAIN PAN function will stop and the
ATF
2
D
will reset. The process will abort and
the USED fluid tank will need to be emptied to continue the process. Please note re-
fill amount retention has been lost.
6)
Filter change or other transmission service can now be performed. REFILL amount will be
retained as long as the STOP button or MAIN POWER switch is not disturbed. The on-board
battery will retain amount drained.
7)
Depress RESUME REFILL button and NEW fluid, equal to the amount extracted, is pumped
into vehicle. NEW fluid display will decrease from the amount extracted down to 0 and the
USED fluid display is blanked. This step is complete when RESUME REFILL LED turns off,
READY light turns on, and alert sounds.
