Run the engine for approximately 5 minutes to heat oil
1.
to approximately 160°F (71°C), then shut off
engine prior to oil removal.
2. Insert 1/4" (6 mm) tube into pump inlet port and be
sure that it is securely in place.
3. Open the vent cap located on hose retainer strap,
vent cap must be opened to allow tank to vent air.
4. With the pump switch in the off position (to avoid
sparks), clamp the power-leads' alligator clips to a
12V DC battery (red to positive; black to negative).
5. With the engine off, remove the dipstick, and insert
the 1/4" (6 mm) oil change probe through the dip-
stick tube until it contacts the bottom of the oil pan. It
may help to measure the probe against the dipstick,
add an inch and mark the probe. Do not push the
probe too far into the dipstick tube or it may curl up
and out of the oil. It may be useful to tape the probe
in place during evacuation.
6. To evacuate the oil, switch on the pump using the
rocker switch at the rear of the motor. Watch for flow
in the probe. If no flow appears in 15 seconds, check
the probe for sediment blockage. Clean the probe
and reset it 1/4" (6 mm) off the pan bottom.
7. The pump will speed up when the oil has been removed.
An average 5 Quart (5 liters) oil capacity engine will take
around 10 minutes to drain.
