2. Preparations Before Oil Replacement
CAUTION
-This machine is exclusively designed for automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and engine oil. Do not use any
other solution or highly volatile fluid that damages rubber such as brake fluid, gasoline and light oil with this
machine. Or, it may cause the machine to not only malfunction but also catch fire.
-While this machine is operating or when you store it, be sure to lock the caster brakes. Or, the machine
located on the inclined plane may start moving, fall down to contaminate the facility or damage the car. In this
case, it is you who is responsible for the contamination and/or damage.
-Always handle this machine, a new oil pail, and the wasted oil tank cleanly. If you cannot manage them well, a
foreign substance or dust may get mixed in with the user’s car whose oil is to be replaced, and it may cause the
car to malfunction.
NOTE
If the temperature of the ATF or engine oil is low, the flexible nozzle cannot suck the fluid/oil well. Warm up the machine
sufficiently to raise the temperature of the fluid/oil before removing the fluid/oil. The guideline for the ATF or engine oil
temperature is approximately 50 to 80°C.
2-1 Setting a new oil pail
CAUTION
-To replace the new oil pail with a new one, check to see again if the oil type you selected at the place where
various types of lubricants are stored is correct before setting it.
-When you set a new oil pail, be careful so that any mud or dust cannot be stuck to the suction hose.
-Be sure to attach the pail guard onto the new oil pail. Or, the new oil pail may fall down and the spilt oil may
contaminate the facility.
1. Take out the suction hose, and insert it into the new oil pail. (See Fig. 2-1.)
2. Set the new oil pail inside the machine.
3. Check to see if the suction hose is not bent inside the new oil pail.
4. Set the pail guard.
NOTE
- If you attach the optional pail cover onto the pail, you can replenish the
machine with new oil from the oil drum or similar container without
replacing the oil pail.
Fig.2-1

2-2 Taking out/Setting the wasted oil tank
CAUTION
-Do not exhaust any wasted oil that is handled with this machine to the ground directly. Discard the wasted oil
according to the applicable law and regulations.
-Be sure to remove the wasted oil upper limit sensor with hands. If you pull it out forcibly, the connector is
damaged and/or the cable is broken.
-When you set the wasted oil tank, be careful so that any mud or dust cannot be stuck to the hose.
-Be sure to attach the tank guard onto the machine. Or a new oil pail may fall down and the spilt oil may
contaminate the facility.
1. Remove the tank guard from the rear of the machine, and pull out the hose
from the wasted oil tank.
2. Be sure to disconnect the wasted oil upper limit sensor cord from the
connector. (See Fig. 2-2.)
(If you take out the tank although the cord is not disconnected, the cord may
be broken.)
3. Remove the wasted tank cap, and discard the wasted oil into the regulated
wasted oil bath.
4. Set the wasted oil tank onto the machine base, and insert the hose into it.
5. Connect the wasted oil upper limit sensor to the connector.
(When connecting the sensor, face the dowel of the plug located on the edge
of the sensor cord toward the front to set the sensor.)
6. Attach the tank guard onto the machine.
NOTE
The later description of the operation (“If the wasted oil tank is totally full while the machine is operating” on page 17)
allows you to exhaust the wasted oil without taking out the wasted oil tank.
2-3 Connecting the flexible nozzle
CAUTION
When you connect the nozzle and the hose, do not mistake the hose for
new oil (red) for that for the wasted oil (black) or vice versa. If you do not
connect them correctly, a foreign substance such as dust gets mixed in with
the machine, and it may cause the machine to malfunction. (See Fig. 2-3.)
1. Pull the outer ring of the coupler located on the hose toward your side.
2. Insert the connector of the nozzle into the coupler, and replace the ring. The connector is fixed.
3. Pull the hose and the nozzle to check to see if they are not disconnected.

2-4 Setting up
CAUTION
-While the machine is operating, be sure to lock the caster brakes on the flat place. Or, the machine may start
moving depending on the installation place, and it may cause a property damage accident.
-Do not use any power supply other than 220 V AC for the machine. Or it may cause the machine to
malfunction and damage it due to electrical shock or fire.
-Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight for a long time. It may cause the resin parts to deform due to
heat.
1. Stop the car at a horizontal place, and yank the emergency
brake fully to check to see if the braking function operates well.
2. Move the machine next to the car, and lock the caster brakes. (See Fig. 2-4.)
3. Connect the power cable to the 220 V AC outlet, and check
that the buzzer sounds.
4. Before oil replacement, be sure to check the amount of oil with
the level gauge of the car.
Fig.2-4

6
3. How to Use
3-1 Precautions
caution
-Since the oil to be used is regulated depending on the car type such as a 4-wheel drive car, check it with the
operating instructions of the car. (If you use any oil other than the designated ATF, it may cause the
transmission to malfunction.)
-Some cars may use a nozzle holder. Contact the dealer or our sales office. (The “upright engine” of some
cars such as a Honda has the short level gauge, and so the nozzle may be inserted into such a type of car at
an angle. In this case, the tip of the nozzle is in contact with the rotating section of the inside and it may
damage the rotating section. To replace the ATF of such a type of car, be sure to use the nozzle holder.)
-After operating the machine, be sure to check the oil amount with the level gauge. (After replacement of oil,
be sure to check the amount of oil with the level gauge of the car so that the amount of oil can be neither too
much nor too little. Note that if the amount of oil is too much or too little, it may damage the transmission.)
3-2 Preparations for operation
CAUTION
-You are supposed to have to measure the amount of oil after tuning off its engine depending on a car type.
-Insert the level gauge fully to prevent any foreign substance such as dust from getting mixed in with the
transmission.
1. Set the shift lever to the position “P”, and idle the engine for ten to fifteen minutes to raise the oil
temperature (50 to 80°C). (See Fig. 3-1.)
When you replace the oil of a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) type of car, drive it for
a while.
2. Idle the engine and move the shift lever from “P” to “L” while stepping on the brake, then to “N”.
3. In this condition, pull out the level gauge. Wipe off the level gauge with a waste cloth, and
measure the amount of oil again.
4. When the oil temperature of the transmission is high immediately after you drive
the car, check the HOT side of the level gauge. Immediately after the engine
rotates, check the COLD side. In either case, when the oil is located between
the “LOW” mark and the “FULL” mark, it indicates the normal condition.
The oil check at this point shall be conducted to know the guideline for the
regulated amount of oil to be supplied by checking the difference between the
supplied oil and the collected oil at replacement. (See Fig. 3-2.)

3-3 Inserting the flexible nozzle and notes
Insert the nozzle into the level gauge hole slowly and securely. (See Fig. 3-3.)
NOTE
-Never push the nozzle into the hole forcibly. If the nozzle stops
in the middle, pull it back a little and then push it into the hole
while turning it slowly.
-Judge how deeply you should insert the nozzle from the length of
the oil gauge.
-Stop pushing the nozzle when it hits something.
-If you do not feel the nozzle hit anything, pull out the nozzle by
approximately 10 cm, and push it into the hole slowly again.
-If the car does not allow the nozzle to be pulled out, be careful to
insert the nozzle into the level gauge hole. Read the following
description for such a car.
3-4 Car to be cared when inserting a nozzle for oil replacement
Please purchase an optional nozzle holder separately for a car except for some Honda cars.
