Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 24397
MANUAL FLUID EXTRACTOR
• Before use, read and understand all warnings, safety
precautions, and instructions as outlined in the
vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It is beyond
the scope of this manual to properly describe the
correct procedure and test data for each vehicle.
• Always perform vehicle service in a properly ventilated
area. Never run an engine without proper ventilation
for its exhaust. Stop work and take necessary steps
to improve ventilation in the work area if you develop
momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation as this
indicates inadequate ventilation.
• Engine parts that are in motion and unexpected
movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When working
near moving engine parts, wear snug fit clothing and
keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
Keep hoses and tools clear of moving parts. Always
stay clear of moving engine parts. Hoses and tools
can be thrown through the air if not kept clear of
moving engine parts. The unexpected movement of
a vehicle can injure or kill. When working on vehicles
always set the parking brake or block the wheels.
• Be alert for hot engine parts to avoid accidental burns.
• If you drove your car recently, fluids could be very hot.
Allow at least 2 hours before you handle any fluids. Oil
and Coolant burns are very dangerous.
• Avoid accidental fire and/or explosion. Do not smoke
near engine fuel and battery components.
• Never remove the cap from the radiator or expansion
tank while the engine is at operating temperature.
• Always allow the engine to cool before removing
the radiator cap or expansion tank cap. The cooling
system is under pressure. Failure to allow the engine
to cool before attempting to remove the cap could
result in serious injuries.
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed
in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.
• For safety purposes and the prevention of damage
to expensive components it is advised that the user
have an understanding of basic automotive repair and
a working knowledge of automotive systems.
• We believe the information contained herein to be
reliable. However, general technical information is
given by us without charge and the user shall employ
such information at his own discretion and risk. We
assume no responsibility for results or damages
incurred from the use of such information in whole or in
part. Always refer to specific instructions and technical
information supplied by vehicle manufacturer.
• The manufacturer declines any and all responsibility
for damage to vehicles or components if said damage
is the result of unskillful handling by the operator or of
failure to observe the basic safety rules set forth in the
instruction manual.
• Used oil, antifreeze, brake fluid and transmission fluid
contains chemical compounds that can be harmful to
humans and other animals. When managed properly,
used oil may again be of beneficial use. Used oil may
be blended and recycled as a heating or industrial
fuel and also may be re-refined and made into new
lubricants. Persons who perform maintenance on
their own vehicles are responsible for managing the
used fluids in a manner that is protective of human
health and the environment and to follow all local laws
and regulations concerning their disposal.
DISPOSAL
At the end of the useful life of the Manual Fluid
Extractor, dispose of the components according to all
state, federal, and local regulations
PURPOSE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• This equipment is intended only for professional use by personnel trained in performing the service functions for
which it is has been designed
• This equipment is designed for servicing a variety of vehicles in a safe, convenient manner. However, differences
in vehicle makes and models may make it impossible to use this equipment as it is intended. Do not attempt to
force the use of this equipment on an application for which it is not designed to perform.
• The procedures documented in this manual are to serve as guidelines for the use of this equipment.
• In addition to these guidelines, always follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures when servicing each
unique vehicle.
• The use of this equipment is simple and straightforward if you follow the instructions. However, always keep in
mind that you are working with a system that may be under pressure, with fluid that is just waiting to be expelled.
When operating this equipment, use common sense, and always stop to think before disconnecting a hose or
other component.
DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT WITH GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR WITH
FLUIDS AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 175° FAHRENHEIT (80° CELSIUS). KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN
FLAMES OR EXCESSIVE HEAT
EXTRACTING MOTOR OIL THROUGH THE DIPSTICK TUBE
1. Park vehicle on level ground. Ensure the transmission of the vehicle is in “neutral” or “park” position and
apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle until it has reached normal operating temperature. Turn the engine
off.
3. Insert the appropriate diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick fill hole until it reaches the bottom of oil pan.
Note: Do not bend the suction tube during the inserting procedure.
4. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
5. Insert the O-Ringed plug of the main suction tube into the reservoir adapter and then insert the adapter into
the top of the reservoir. Ensure the tube connections are tight to prevent leakage.
6. Extract the used motor oil by pumping the evacuator handle several times to create a vacuum. Once the fluid
begins to flow into the reservoir, continue to operate the pump until all the fluid has been drained from the
engine crankcase.
Note: When oil in the tank reaches the maximum level, the vacuum will release to prevent
overflowing.
7. Remove the main suction hose from the reservoir adapter; pour the used oil from the reservoir into a suitable
container, then dispose of the fluid in an appropriate manner
NOTE
If no vacuum can be created after emptying the Reservoir, the user may need to remove the Red Vacuum
Release Plug below the Pump Handle and reinstall it. This will release vacuum inside the Pump and restore
operation.
