3. ASSEMBLY (ALL MODELS)
fig. 2
3.1 Cut the nylon ties which are holding the tube storage unit to
the main tank. Identify the mounting hooks on the tank (See
fig.1A). Place the mounting loops on the storage tube over
the hooks on the tank and push downwards to snap the
storage tube into place as shown in fig.2B.
When using a workshop air supply, the recommended hook-up is
shown below.
4.1. Ensure that the air valve (see fig.7) is in the "off" position
before connecting to the air supply.
4.2. You will require an air pressure and an air flow (cfm) according
to the specification above in section 2.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not
exceed the pressure quoted. Too high an air pressure and/or
unclean air will shorten the life of the extractor due to
excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing damage
and/or personal injury.
4.3. Drain the compressor air tank daily.
4.4. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
4.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually
long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum bore for hose
and fittings is 1/4”.
4.6. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses
for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
(A) PROBLEM: Unit will not start when the air valve is open and
the blue button has been pressed.
(A1) Cause: The operation of the button will normally be
and solution: accompanied by by an audible ‘click’. If this sound is
not heard and there is no liquid in the reservoir turn
the unit upside down and try again. Otherwise incline
the unit to 45° and shake it several times then try
again.
(A2) Cause: The unit may require internal lubrication. Disconnect
and solution: the quick coupling. Open the air valve. Introduce a
few drops of air tool oil into the male coupling and
close the air valve. Reconnect the quick coupling.
When the unit is next operated the oil will be
distributed internally.

fig.11
BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE. Do not touch the
vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for brake
bleeding and wheel sequence before proceeding. If no specific
instructions from the vehicle manufacturer exist, follow the
instructions detailed below.
 WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake
fluid - read manufacturer’s instructions on the container.
9.1 Remove the lid of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. Fill the
reservoir to its maximum mark.
9.2 Identify the brake bleeding tube which has a blue flexible
plastic brake nipple connector at one end and a black rubber
adaptor at the other.
9.3 Connect the brake bleeding tube to the top of the fluid
extractor’s tank by pushing the black rubber adaptor into the
fluid inlet coupling.
9.4 Push the blue flexible plastic brake nipple connector onto the
brake nipple on the first wheel and open the nipple about 1/4
of a turn. (See fig.11)
9.5 Turn on the air valve on the extractor (TP6903 & TP6904).
Press the blue button to activate air operated units or operate
the pump handle on manual models. A vacuum will be created
which will draw the brake fluid from the vehicle’s brake
system. Operate the unit for a few seconds only to avoid
entirely draining the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir.
9.6 IMPORTANT: Check the level of brake fluid in the vehicle’s
reservoir and top up regularly. If possible a reservoir top
up device should be fitted to the brake fluid reservoir.
9.7 Continue to bleed the system and top up the reservoir until
there are no air bubbles visible in the clear tube (See fig.12).
9.8 Close the brake nipple (See fig.11).
9.9 Remove the rubber pipe from the brake nipple.
9.10 Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
9.11 Changing the brake fluid
9.11.1 Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described above
until the master cylinder reservoir is at its minimum level. Fill
the reservoir with new brake fluid and continue to bleed the
system. Check reservoir level regularly.
9.11.2 When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the
brake nipple.
9.11.3 Repeat this procedure at every wheel.
When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete,
test action of brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are
working before driving the vehicle.
9.11.4 Apply copper grease to the brake bleed nipples before and
after the brake bleeding procedure to eliminate the possibility
of seized or broken nipples when the brakes are next bled
(See fig.13).
