Control Knob
The Fas-Vac system operates in two modes: evacuate
lubricants from the crankcase or reservoir and collect
the material in a 16 gallon or 55 gallon drum, and drain
the stored lubricants from the drum to a larger container.
The modes are selected with a lock-in-place control
knob (A). See F

When the system is not in use, lock the knob in the
evacuation mode.
Suction Wands
Experiment to determine which wand is best for your
application. Typically, use the largest wand possible. A
quick-disconnect coupler make it fast and easy to switch
wands.
Fluid Gauge
The fluid gauge (23) indicates approximately how full the
drum is to avoid over-filling it (F
is even with the top, the drum will be 75% to 80% full.

3. Connect the air supply hose to the pump air inlet
(B). Operate the pump at 40-50 psi (2.72- 3.4 bar,
0.27-0.34 MPa) for the best results.
4. Insert the suction wand (104) in the crankcase or
reservoir.
5. Disconnect the air to the pump when the evacuation
in complete.
Draining the Drum
1. Remove the suction wand (104).
2. Attach the suction hose quick-disconnect coupler to
the male coupler fitting of a waste oil tank, or dis-
charge the material to an access opening.
3. Pull out the safety clip (8) and turn the control knob
(A) to drain drum.
4. Connect the air supply hose to the pump.
5. When the draining is complete, disconnect the air to
