Oil Changer - Regal 42SC Owner's Manual

OIL CHANGER

As optional equipment an oil change system is installed on
the forward bulkhead of the engine room. It is designed
to remove crankcase oil from two engines and a generator
in diesel vessels. Also, the unit refi lls each crankcase oil
pan with fresh oil through a system of hoses and an
integrated pump.
Note: This unit does not drain or refi ll the transmission
housing because these engines use a separate type fl uid
for the transmission.
The oil change system is housed in a fi re retardant, high
impact, high gloss case. The pump is solid brass with a
special self-priming type impeller which pumps instantly
whether in the drain or fi ll mode.
Power is supplied through the vessel's 12 volt DC system.
There is a 20 amp breaker found on the DC distribution
panel which is located on the forward engine bulkhead.
It protects the system against overloads.

START-UP PROCEDURES
When starting the system for the fi rst time, air will be in
all of the lines. To prevent pump and or system damage
follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Insert the PVC wand of the Drain/Fill Hose into a
container holding a small amount of fresh oil.
2. Release the fail-safe lock device on the Pump/Motor
Unit valve handle and direct the arrow-shaped tip to
"Starboard".
3. Flip the motor control switch to the "Fill" position. The
pump will start immediately and you will see the oil moving
through the clear plastic tubing toward the Pump/Motor
Unit. You will hear a noticeable change in sound (speed)
of the pump motor when oil enters the pump.
4. Continue to operate the pump for 5 to 10 seconds after
pumping action begins, then return the Pump/Motor
switch to the "OFF" position and secure the oil fi ll cap.
3. Loosen the oil fi ller cap on the engine or remove the
dip stick to allow air to enter the crankcase.
4. Release the fail-safe lock device on the Pump/Motor
Unit valve handle and direct the arrow-shaped tip to
"PORT ENGINE".
