OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Run the engine for approximately 5 minutes to heat oil to
approximately 160°F (71°C), then shut off engine prior to oil
removal.
2. Insert 1/4”(6mm) tube into pump inlet port and be sure that it
is securely in place.
3. Unscrew the pour spout to vent container prior to operating
pump to allow air to vent.
4. With the pump switch in the off position (to avoid sparks),
clamp the power-leads’ alligator clips to a 12V DC battery (red
to positive; black to negative).
5. With the engine off, remove the dipstick, and insert the
1/4”(6mm) oil change probe through the dipstick tube until it
contacts the bottom of the oil pan. It may help to measure the
probe against the dipstick, add an inch and mark the probe.
Do not push the probe too far into the dipstick tube or it may
curl up and out of the oil. It may be useful to tape the probe in
place during evacuation.
6. To evacuate the oil, switch on the pump using the rocker switch
at the rear of the motor. Watch for flow in the probe. If no flow
appears in 15 seconds, check the probe for sediment blockage.
Clean the probe and reset it 1/4” (6mm) off the pan.
7. The pump will speed up when the oil has been removed. An
average 5 Quart (5 liters) oil capacity engine will take around
10 minutes to drain.
8. Switch off pump before removing alligator clips from the
battery, to avoid sparks.
9. Remove probe from dipstick tube while wiping with a rag to
prevent oil drips.
10. To empty the container, pull up the retractable pour spout and
pour the oil into a suitable container for disposal/recycling.
11. For extended storage, flush pump with water based degreaser
solution.
NOTICE: Always recycle used oil in compliance with federal
and local legislation. Handle petroleum products in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner.
