• The used fluid drain must only be used by
authorized personal trained in its use.
• Never leave drain unattended when oper-
ating or evacuating.
• Never use drain near open flame or heat
source.
• Never use drain for handling highly volatile

Inspection
Prior to operation or maintenance, visually
inspect the drain for worn, damaged, loose
and/or missing parts.
If the drain is damaged, badly worn or
operates abnormally, it should be removed
from service. Contact a factory authorized
service center for repair.
An annual tank/component inspection is
recommended to be performed by a factory
authorized service center.
Tank maintenance
The drain does not require any special
maintenance, other than normal cleaning
that should be done with a damp cloth
(water and alcohol or normal detergent for
household appliances made out of plastic).
NOTE
Do not use cleaning solutions that can
damage plastic containers.
NOTE
It is recommended that tank be emptied
and cleaned of all sediments through
frequently scheduled maintenance.

Empty tank
Before the tank approaches maximum fill (as
seen through the sight-gauge (19), empty
the tank by connecting camlock fitting (5) to
an evacuation system. The length of suction
pipe (2) ensures that it clears the tank
bottom to prevent solids and sediments from
being sucked into and damaging the
evacuation pump.
Sediments may build up high enough to
start clogging the suction pipe (2) before the
next scheduled tank purge. A stop-gap
feature has been designed into the suction
pipe (2) to enable oil evacuation to proceed
temporarily (→Fig. 1, page 4).
1 Apply wrench to camlock fitting (5) and
turn counter-clockwise. If necessary,
secure plug (4) with pipe wrench to hold
stationary.
2 Raise suction pipe (2) to maximum
height of 1 5/8in (41 mm).
3 Connect camlock fitting (5) to evacuation
system and complete emptying of tank.
4 Schedule tank purge as soon as possible
before tank fills up with sediments
and solids.
5 Upon completion of tank purge, turn
camlock fitting (5) clockwise as far down
as possible to reset suction tube (2)
height.
Purge tank
It may not be possible to safely purge the
tank of solids and sediments on the tank
bottom using the suction of an evacuation
system. We recommend the following steps
to completely purge the tank bottom of
sediments:
1 Evacuate tank of all fluids using
evacuation system.
2 Remove plug (22) on lower
connection (21).
3 Flush tank with water and normal
detergent until tank bottom is free of all
solids and sediments.
4 Reinstall plug (22) and check for leaks.
5 Turn camlock fitting (5) clockwise as far
down as possible to reset suction
tube (2) height.
