E. Discharge hose [E] at base of tank
2. Connect air supply to the venturi port (quick connect air tting
not included) [3]. Supply air pressure should be
between 100 and 120 PSI to achieve optimum vacuum.
3. To generate the vacuum inside the tank, open air supply [A]
and venturi valves [B]. Monitor the vacuum gauge and turn off
the air when the gauge is in the green zone by closing the ball
valves [A & B]. Disconnect the air supply. The tank is ready to
extract oil.

engine oil dip stick tube or gear case port.
2. Remove protective cap from suction hose [4] and connect to
the probe connector.
3. To begin the extraction of oil from the vehicle / gear case,
open the probe coupler ball valve [C].
4. When complete, close valve [C] and remove probe.
1. Place hook end of Evacuation Hose [7] in the used oil
collection tank.
2. Close all ball valves except the ball valve below the evacua-
tion hose connector [E].
3. Connect shop air to the tank connector [D] (with safety valve).
Do not exceed 10 PSI supply pressure.
4. To evacuate the used oil from the drain, open the tank ball
valve [D].
5. When drain is empty, close tank ball valve [D] and disconnect
air supply.
1. Periodically check ttings for visible leaks. Service as necessary.
