Precaution
Equipment is designed for servicing a variety
of vehicles in a safe and convenient manner;
however, differences in engine blocks and
dip stick configurations make it impossible to
use equipment on every vehicle.
Documented procedures are to serve as
guidelines for general use of equipment. In
addition to guidelines, always follow
manufacturer’s recommended procedures
when attempting to use equipment on each
unique vehicle.
Do not attempt to force tubes included
with equipment into dip stick tube that does
not readily accept smaller of two tubes.
Tubes that appear to be too large are not
designed to be used with these particular
vehicles.
Draining oil with evacuator unit through
dipstick tube is expected to be simple and
straightforward. Instructions are written as a
general guideline only. Always read carefully
and understand instructions prior to
using equipment.
Tighten lid-to-reservoir screws before
first use, and periodically after, to ensure
proper seal.
Automatic shut-off valve
Reservoir tank of fluid evacuator plus is
equipped with automatic shut-off valve to
prevent over-filling of reservoir tank. As fluid
flows into reservoir tank, float raises. When
float reaches shut-off valve, flow of fluid
being extracted automatically stops.
While automatic shut-off is in place it is
not guaranteed to prevent overfill. Make sure
the extractor is on a level surface and take
caution to not overfill the unit.
WARNING
Do not adjust pressure relief valve.
Build pressure by pumping at pumping rate
of maximum 40 strokes per minute. Unit
should not be pressurized by any other
means.
Failure to comply may result in death or
serious injury
NOTE
Do not force tube into crankcase. Stop
inserting tube in if any force is recognized.
Dealer should be contacted for detail on
using equipment to evacuate oil from vehicle
if issues arise.
Extract from and
dispense motor oil
into crankcase
1 Park vehicle on level ground.
2 Ensure transmission of vehicle is in
neutral or park and apply parking brake.
3 Start engine.
4 Allow engine to idle until it reaches
normal operating temperature. Once
this is accomplished, turn engine off.
NOTE
It may be necessary to empty fluid reservoir
tank and restart process if crankcase capacity
exceeds 8 liters (2.11 gallons).
Table 1
Reservoir specifications
Capacity 2.3 gallons (8,8 liters)
Maximum operating
temperature
175 °F (80 °C)
Recommended fluids Engine oil, gear and
transmission oils,
power steering fluid,
coolants, brake fluid,
and other similar fluids
NOTE
Verify tube is in connector all the way to
prevent leakage.
5 Remove engine oil dipstick.
6 Select and insert smallest diameter
dipstick tube into dipstick hole until it
reaches bottom of oil pan.
7 Connect main suction tube to
dipstick tube.
8 Insert opposite end of main suction tube
into 10mm x 90° tube connector on top
of reservoir tank.
NOTE
Do not extract oil when temperature is above
176 °F (80 °C).
9 Place selector valve mounted on side of
pump assembly to evacuate.
10 Raise pump handle on reservoir tank
until highest limit is reached.
11 Pump handle approximately ten times.
Unit will begin to extract oil from engine
crankcase.

12 Once oil is extracted from crankcase,
remove expandable rubber plug from
reservoir tank.
13 Pour oil from tank into suitable
container, and dispose of oil in
appropriate manner.
14 Rinse out reservoir tank with clean
solvent or engine degreaser. Allow to dry
thoroughly.
15 If using fluid evacuator plus to dispense
oil, fill cleaned reservoir tank with new oil
and switch selector valve mounted on
side of pump assembly to dispense.
16 Pull up on pump handle and begin
pumping until engine crankcase is filled
to desired level.
17 Run engine momentarily to circulate
new oil and then re-check level.
4 Connect main suction tube to
dipstick tube.
5 Insert opposite end of main
suction tube into 10mm x 90° tube
connector on top of reservoir tank.
WARNING
In some applications this may require jacking
or lifting vehicle. Use appropriate safety
stands to avoid serious or fatal injury.
6 Place selector valve mounted on side of
pump assembly to evacuate.
7 Raise pump handle on reservoir tank
until highest limit is reached. Pump
handle approximately ten times. Unit will
begin to extract transmission fluid from
transmission.
8 Once transmission fluid has been
extracted, remove expandable
rubber plug from reservoir tank.
9 Pour transmission fluid from tank into
suitable container, and dispose of
transmission fluid in an
appropriate manner.
10 Rinse out reservoir tank with clean
solvent or engine degreaser. Allow to dry
thoroughly.
11 If using fluid evacuator plus to dispense
transmission fluid, fill cleaned reservoir
tank with new transmission fluid and
simply switch selector valve mounted on
the side of pump assembly to dispense.
12 Pull up on pump handle and continue
pumping until the transmission is filled
to the desired level.
13 Follow operating instructions for vehicle
to properly check transmission fluid level.
Extract from and
dispense fluid into
transmission cases
and differentials
1 Follow steps 1 and 2 above in Extract and
dispense motor oil into a crankcase.
2 Remove transmission fluid dipstick or
fill plug.
3 Select and insert appropriate
diameter dipstick tube into dipstick fill
hole until it reaches bottom of
transmission pan or gear case.
NOTE
Verify tube is in connector all the way to
prevent leakage.

Extract brake fluid
from master cylinder
1 Clean exterior of master cylinder and
master cylinder cap.This will prevent dirt
from entering master cylinder reservoir
when cap is removed.
2 Remove lid of master cylinder reservoir.
3 Select appropriate dipstick tube and
connect it to main suction tube.
WARNING
Never remove cap from radiator or expansion
tank while engine is at operating
temperature. Always allow engine to cool
before removing radiator cap or expansion
tank cap. Cooling system is under pressure.
Failure to allow engine to cool before
attempting to remove cap could result in
death or serious injury. WARNING
Prior to inserting extraction tube into master
cylinder reservoir, be sure extraction tube is
clean and free of any other types of fluid.
Failure to do so would result in
contamination of brake fluid in hydraulic
system and cause potential brake failure.
Extract and dispense
coolant into cooling
system
1 Allow engine to cool.
2 Remove radiator/expansion tank cap.
3 Select largest diameter dipstick tube and
insert tube into radiator neck or
expansion tank.
4 Insert opposite end of main suction tube
into 10 mm x 90° tube connector on top
of reservoir tank.
4 Insert opposite end of main suction tube
into 10mm x 90° tube connector on top
of reservoir tank.
