Alemite 8586 Service Manual

Description

Portable drain models 8586 and 8586-A are designed to
safely capture the oil from engine crankcases, transmissions,
and differentials.
Each drain system consists of a:
• drain bowl and drum cover assembly
• dolly assembly
• 16-gallon drum (model 8586-A only)

Drain Bowl and Drum Cover

The drain bowl assembly includes a strainer that guards
against loose items entering the drum. The strainer's center post
can be used to hold inverted filters and allow them to drain.
The drain bowl assembly mounts on a tube that can extend
up to 26 " (66 cm) from its fully seated position. See Figure 1.
The tube is held by an automatic latching mechanism. This
mechanism retains the drain bowl tube at the required height.
The cover for the drum contains a built-in float gauge that
indicates when the drum is full.

Dolly

The drum is secured to the dolly with three thumb screw
clamps. The dolly's four-wheel design allows stable mobility.

Operation and Adjustment

Lift the tube or the bowl upward and release. The latching
mechanism automatically grips the tube and retains the position
of the assembly. Lift the latch upward slightly to allow the bowl
to descend to the required height. Once reached, release the
latch.

Adjustment

Loosen the wing nut on the latching mechanism to lessen the
friction on the tube. Tightening the wing nut causes the tube
assembly to descend at a slower rate.

Evacuation

The use of an evacuation system allows the drum to be
emptied without tipping. See Figure 3.
