2. INTRODUCTION

3. SPECIFICATION

1.1. GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this

equipment.

Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the oil drainer, as well as the potential hazards.

WARNING! Disconnect the drainer from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.

Maintain the drainer in good condition (use an authorised service agent).

Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting.

Keep the drainer clean for best and safest performance.

Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.

WARNING! While extracting high temperature oils, keep hands, face and body protected using suitable personal protective equipment.

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded.

Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use, and ensure that all connections are secure.

DO NOT extract caustic or flammable products.

DO NOT use the drainer for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

DO NOT operate the drainer if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

DO NOT stand on the drainer.

DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve.

DO NOT move the drainer by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.

DO NOT place attachments close to your face (especially eyes, ears, etc.) and do not point hose at other persons or animals.

DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the drainer.

DO NOT operate the drainer when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

DO NOT leave the drainer operating unattended.

DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.

When not in use, disconnect from the air supply, vent reservoir and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.

Dispose of waste oil in accordance with local authority regulations.

WARNING! DO NOT pollute the environment by allowing uncontrolled discharge of waste oil.

DANGER! DO NOT release drain pan clamp lever when there is pressure in the reservoir as pipe and drain pan will be

propelled upward with force. This could result in damage and/or serious injury.

(The numbers in brackets refer to the parts diagram.)

4.1 Wheels. Slide a fixed wheel (30) onto each stub axle and retain them with the circlips provided (29). Bolt the two castors (24) to the

front brackets at the base of the tank using the two washers (23) and two dome nuts provided (22).

4.2 Handle. Slide the chrome handle (37) into the two tubular retainers welded onto the back of the tank. Retain the handle using the two

socket cap bolts provided.

4.3 Probe storage tube. Screw the self tapping screw provided into the hole halfway down the probe container tube (12). Insert the tube

into the retaining rings welded to the side of the tank until the screw head comes to rest on the upper ring. Insert the set of three

probes (10), through the probe seat (11) at the top of the probe container tube.

4.4 Column and Oil Collection bowl. Take the steel collection tube (9) and wrap the threaded end with PTFE tape.

Connect the tube to the Collection Bowl (1) by screwing it into the valve fitting on the underside of the bowl and fully tighten. Slide the

locking ring (4) onto and up the steel tube (9) and hold it in place with the locking bolt (5). Insert the tube with bowl attached through

the clamp fitting (6) and down into the tank. Set the required height for the bowl and tighten the clamp fitting (See also fig.2D). Loosen

the locking ring (4). Slide it down onto the clamp fitting and retighten.

5. AIR SUPPLY

The recommended hook-up is shown in fig.1.

5.1 Ensure the air valve is in the "Off" position before connecting to the air supply.

5.2 You will require an air pressure of 7bar.

5.3 WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed pressures

specified in these Instructions. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will

shorten the drainer life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing

damage and/or personal injury.

5.4 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line may damage the drainer.

5.5 Clean the air inlet filter screen weekly.

5.6 Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses

(over 8 metres).

The minimum hose diameter should be 10mm I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.

5.7 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.

6. OPERATION

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.
