warning! ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in section 1.
warning! ensure the oil level never rises above the top fixing point on the discharge tube attached to the side of the tank.
6.1
gravity drainage.
6.1.1 close all valves as shown in fig.2 (V1, V2, V3, V4 & V5). All valves are closed when the valve lever is at 90º to the direction of flow.
6.1.2 Position the oil drainer beneath a vehicle situated on a lift and open the valve beneath the oil collection Bowl. see fig.2-V1.
6.1.3 remove the engine sump plug and allow the oil to drain. monitor the oil level in the tank by observing the discharge hose fixed to the
side of the tank.
6.1.4 When drainage is complete it is important to close the valve beneath the oil collection Bowl. see fig.2-V1.
6.2
suction probe drainage.
6.2.1 close all valves as shown in fig.2 (V1, V2, V3, V4 & V5). All valves are closed when the valve lever is at 90º to the direction of flow.
6.2.2 connect the compressed air at 7bar (100psi) to the quick coupling on the vacuum pump (see fig.2c) and open the valve beneath the
Vacuum Gauge (fig.2c-V2). Air will be expelled from the muffler on the vacuum pump during the creation of the vacuum in the tank.
6.2.3 When the arrow on the vacuum gauge approaches the top of the green area, after 2.5 - 3 minutes close the valve and shut off the
compressed air. (do not allow the needle to reach the red area.) the unit is now depressurised and ready for use.
Note! Oil should be removed when hot (70-80°C). Keep hands, face and body protected using suitable personal protective
equipment (PPE). The suction capacity of the unit is equal to 2/3 of its reservoir capacity.
6.2.4 choose one of the three probes depending on the internal diameter of the dipstick tube and push it onto the suction probe handle with
a twisting action to ensure it is fully seated. see fig.2-A.
6.2.5 With the engine still warm, remove the dipstick and insert the probe as far down as it will go.
6.2.6 open the valve on the handle (fig.2A-V3), keeping the probe immersed in the oil within the sump. As soon as the sump is emptied,
close the valve.
6.2.7 When suction drainage is complete, and before using the air discharge, dispel any remaining vacuum in the tank by slowly opening
valve V1 beneath the oil collection bowl. close the valve when the vacuum is relieved.
6.3
emptying.
6.3.1 close all valves as shown in fig.2 (V1, V2, V3, V4 & V5). All valves are closed when the valve lever is at 90º to the direction of flow.
6.3.2 remove the plug from the end of the discharge tube with a twisting action. see fig.2e. Hook the discharge tube into a suitable
container such as an oil drum and open the valve on the handle (V5).
6.3.3 connect compressed air (0.5Bar/7.25psi) to the quick coupling on the air discharge fittings (see fig.2B). open the valve on the
discharge fittings (see fig.2B-V4) until all the oil has been transferred from the tank to the container. close the valve. Insert the plug
into the end of the discharge tube with a twisting action
6.3.4 disconnect the air supply and vent any pressure remaining in the reservoir by opening the drain pan valve (fig.2-V1).
note! the unit storage tank has been fitted with a safety valve, factory calibrated to 0.5Bar/7.25psi.
