INTRODUCTION

6ltr capacity device constructed from composite materials and suitable for extraction of all types of engine, transmission and lubricating oils from cars, motorcycles, marine engines, stationary engines and industrial machinery. Features a controlled discharge function for emptying the unit. Suitable also for low viscosity fluids such as water. Supplied with Ø5.8, Ø6.7mm suction probes and a 1.1m extension tube. Uses probes to drain engine oil through the dipstick hole. Also suitable for draining fish tanks, basins and sinks.

SPECIFICATION

MAIN FEATURES

Refer to fig.1

1. OUTLET BUNG The outlet bung is inserted into a small spout in the top of the unit which is used to manually empty oil out of the tank. The bung has an integral pressure relief button built into it. Press the button downwards into the bung and hold it there until the pressure has equalized.
2. BUNG RELEASE RING To remove the bung take hold of the bung release ring and turn the bung anti-clockwise until it stops. Pull upwards to remove the bung. To lock the bung in place insert it into the spout and turn it clockwise until it stops. The hooks on either side of the bung should now be trapped under the flanges on either side of the spout.
3. IN/OUT VALVE LEVER When the valve lever is moved to the ‘In’ position, operating the pump handle creates a vacuum, causing fluid to be sucked into the tank via the probe/extension tube. When the valve lever is moved to the ‘OUT’ position, operating the pump handle pressurizes the tank causing fluid to be expelled from the tank.
4. TANK  After the unit has been used the tank should not be left in either a vacuum or pressurized state. Push in the pressure relief button and hold it down until the pressure has equalized.
5. BASE The base should be placed on a smooth level surface during operation.
6. FOOTREST When extra stability is required during pumping fold out the footrest from underneath the base.
7. PROBE Ø6.7 This is the larger of the two probes provided and is intended for insertion into the dipstick tube of vehicles where an oil change is required. The red plastic fitting on this tube is a push fit onto the extension tube.
8. PROBE Ø5.8 This is the smaller of the two probes provided and is intended for insertion into the dipstick tube of vehicles where an oil change is required. The black plastic fitting on this tube is a push fit onto the extension tube.
9. EXTENSION TUBE Ø9.8 The fitting at one end of this tube fits directly into the Fluid inlet/outlet ‘13’. one of the probes will be a push fit onto the other end of this tube.
10. SUCTION TUBE HOLDER The extension tube and the two probes can be stored here when not required.
11. CARRYING HANDLE The pump handle should be in the down position to use the carrying handle.
12. PRESSURE GAUGE The needle moves anti-clockwise from zero when a vacuum is created to suck fluid into the tank. The needle moves clockwise from zero when the tank is pressurized to expel fluid from the tank. If the needle moves into the red zone the excess pressure will be automatically released.
13. FLUID INLET OUTLET This fitting has a sliding sleeve which has to be pulled downwards before the fitting on the end of the extension tube will go in.
14. PUMP HANDLE The pump handle should be moved up and down through its full stroke for most efficient operation of the pump. If the pump handle locks up this means the tank is full. Press the pressure relief button to free the handle.

OPERATION

SET UP FOR OIL CHANGE

1. NOTE: ensure you read, understand and apply the Section 1 Safety Instructions and consult manufacturer’s workshop manual for any specific procedures.
2. Ensure that the vehicle is level. Run the engine for approximately five minutes to ensure that the oil is warm. Switch off engine.
3. Remove the oil dipstick from the engine.
4. Insert the appropriate extracting probe into the dipstick tube making sure it reaches the bottom of the sump. Connect the extracting probe to the extension tube using the black or red soft plastic adaptor. The tubes are a push fit into the adaptor (fig.2).
5. Position the extractor close to the front or side of the vehicle. Plug the extension tube fitting into the fluid inlet/outlet fitting on top of the extractor **(see fig.1-13).

DRAWING FLUID INTO THE EXTRACTOR

1. Before operating the extractor you must press the pressure release button (see fig.1-1) to dissipate any vacuum or pressure remaining in the tank from previous use. The pressure gauge needle should return to the zero position.
   NOTE: The extractor should never be stored with any vacuum or pressure left within the tank.

2. Set up the unit for oil extraction as described in Sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.4 so that the extractor probe is inserted into the vehicle’s dipstick tube. The other end of the extractor probe should be joined to the extension tube with the adaptor provided and the extension tube should be connected to the inlet/outlet coupling (See fig.1-13).
   NOTE: extraction via the dipstick tube should only be done whilst the oil is warm.

3. Move the In/OUT valve lever to the In position as shown in fig.4.

4. Fold out rod foot rest as shown in fig.1-6.

5. To commence suction place your foot over the foot rest to steady the unit and start to pump the handle up and down through its full travel. The needle on the gauge should move anti-clockwise from the zero position as shown in fig.3.

6. As you pump up and down, the tank will begin to fill. When the tank is full the auto shut off mechanism will operate and the pump handle will lock up. To return the handle to the down position hold down the pressure relief button and push the handle down.

7. Remove the extractor probe from the dipstick tube and replace the dipstick.
   

EXPELLING FLUID FROM THE EXTRACTOR

1. Place the end of the extension tube into a suitable container ensuring that it is large enough to hold the volume of liquid in the extractor’s tank.

2. Move the In/OUT valve lever to the OUT position as shown in fig.6.

3. Fold out rod foot rest as shown in fig.1-6.

4. To empty the extractor’s tank place your foot over the foot rest to steady the unit and start to pump the handle up and down through its full travel. The needle on the gauge should move clockwise from the zero position as shown in fig.5. If excess pressure is created the needle will move into the red zone and the pressure will be automatically relieved.
   

5. As you pump up and down, the tank will begin to empty. Continue pumping until all fluid has been expelled. When the tank is empty, press the pressure relief button to dissipate any residual pressure remaining in the tank. If extracted oil has cooled down and thickened we recommend that it should be poured from the extractor tank.

6. Remove the outlet bung from the pouring spout as described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

7. Pour the oil from the tank as shown below (fig.7). DO NOT over tip the unit as this will result in inconsistent flow form the tank.
   

8. Insert the bung into the spout and turn fully anti-clockwise to lock in position for future use.
   WARNING! When the extractor’s tank contains liquid that is under pressure DO NOT remove or insert the extension tube connector into the inlet/outlet fitting as this may result in a sudden discharge of liquid that could be dangerous. Always press the pressure relief button before connecting or disconnecting the extension tube.
