1.
Check the service hose, battery connections, and all external components for damage.
2. Fill the unit’s reservoir with 14 quarts (13 liters) of new transmission fluid if you are going to
perform a service now. Otherwise use 8 quarts (7.6 liters). NOTE: The first two quarts in both of
the fluid tanks will NOT be visible thru the ‘windows”.
3. Install an adapter wand in the coupler of the service hose.
4. Attach the unit’s Red positive battery clip to vehicle’s 12-volt battery; connect the black negative
battery clip to a solid ground point as far from the battery as possible.
5. Insert the wand into the clean tank fluid far enough to ‘suck’ fluid. Press the VACUUM control
switch. Allow the unit to run until fluid level is visible in waste tank window. Press OFF switch.
6. Remove the wand from the clean fluid tank. Direct the wand tip only back into the clean fluid
tank and press the FILL control switch. Clean fluid should flow out of the wand and into the
clean fluid tank. Turn switch to OFF after a solid stream of fluid is observed.
7. Press the EMPTY WASTE button. Fluid should be pumped out of waste fluid tank thru the wand.
Stop the EMPTY WASTE flow when the fluid level in the waste tank gets to ‘zero’. The unit is
now primed and ready for service.
