prIncIpal oF operatIon
This equipment is designed and intended for
use as an accessory to dispense or evacuate
fluids using a Matco hand pressure/vacuum
pump MVP5000 (sold separately). The hand
pump is utilized to build pressure or vacuum in
the fluid transfer bottle. Pressure can be used to
dispense fluid out of the bottle for the purpose
of bleeding hydraulic brake or clutch systems, or
for filling or topping-off various automotive res-
ervoirs. Vacuum can be used to bleed hydraulic
brake or clutch systems, or to evacuate fluids
from various automotive reservoirs.
Fluid is added or emptied from the fluid transfer
bottle through the top by removing the threaded
cap. Pressure or vacuum is applied to the bottle
via a hand pump connected to the inlet hose ex-
tending from a nipple near the top of the bottle.
Fluid is dispensed or evacuated through the
fluid hose connected to a nipple extending from
the bottom of the fluid transfer bottle. A fluid
wand is included for connection to the output of
the fluid hose via a quick-change coupler. It can
be used to direct the flow of fluid into a reservoir
or to reach into a reservoir to evacuate fluid out.
The quick-change coupler has an automatic
shut-off valve that will stop fluid flow when the
wand or other accessory is not connected. A
ball valve is installed in the fluid hose to shut-off
or control the flow of fluid to or from the fluid
transfer bottle.
Additional accessories including ATF adapt-
ers for topping-off sealed transmissions, are
available for separate purchase, and will greatly
expand the applications of this equipment.
precaUtIons
This equipment is designed for servicing a
variety of vehicles in a safe, convenient manner.
However, differences in vehicle models may
make it impossible to use this equipment as
intended. Do not attempt to force the use of this
equipment on an application for which it is not
designed to perform.
The procedures documented in this manual are
to serve as guidelines for the use of this equip-
ment. In addition to these guidelines, always
follow the manufacturer's recommended proce-
dures when servicing each unique vehicle.
The use of this equipment is simple and
straightforward if you follow the instructions.
However, always keep in mind that you are
working with a system that may be under
pressure, with fluid that is just waiting to be
Form 824889
expelled. When operating this equipment, use
common sense, and always stop to think before
disconnecting a hose or other component.
This equipment should never be operated above
a safe level of pressure, depending on the
application. When pressurizing the fluid transfer
bottle, always use a hand pump with a pres-
sure gauge installed. When operating the pump,
observe the gauge to ensure the pressure in the
bottle remains at or below the recommended
pressure for the application. Never pressurize the
fluid transfer bottle above 20 psi/1.4 bar/140 kPa.
