It works with motor, diesel or heating oil.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Item# 31347 Motor 12V DC Power Draw Approximately 5 Amps Max. Flow 250 liters/hour (66 GPH) Duty Cycle 30 minutes Operating Temperature 40–50°C (104–140°F)

The oil extractor is a vane pump with a brass lamellae blade. It includes a 12V DC motor with a

reduction gear. It connects to a 12V vehicle battery. The connections on the pump are built for

hoses of 10mm (0.4in.) internal diameter.

The external diameter of the suction probe is 6mm (0.24in.), which makes it suitable for applications

in which the inner diameter of the dipstick tube is larger than 6mm. It is suitable for pumping, engine,

diesel and heating oil.

The extractor is not suitable for extracting:

‐ Water (no lubrication of the pump)

‐ Gearbox oil (too viscous)

‐ Flammable liquids (fuel oil, gasoline, etc.)

OPERATION

1. Before starting to change the motor oil, drive the motor until the oil has a temperature of

approx.40°-50°C (104-140°F). Cooler temperatures will reduce the flow rate due to the high

viscosity of the oil. If the oil is too hot, the sealings of the pump might be disturbed.

2. Shut down the engine after having reached sufficient temperature.

3. Push the hose with the suction probe onto the pump socket and push the drain hose onto the

drain socket and fasten both by using hose clamps in order to avoid the hoses coming loose

due to the oil pressure.

4. Unwind the suction probe and straighten it properly before inserting through the dipstick tube

into the engine. Otherwise the pump will draw no or not enough oil.

5. Insert the suction probe into the oil dipstick tube and push it gently down to the lowest position

of the oil pan.

6. Please use a suitable container to collect the old oil and lead the drain-hose into this Container.

7. Connect the oil extractor to the 12V car battery. Make sure that the clamps are connected with

the correct poles of the battery (red clamp to “plus”, black clamp to “minus”)

8. Switch the pump on and pump the oil out of the engine.

9. As soon as no further oil is pumped, switch off the pump. Do not let the pump run without oil.

10. Fill the engine with fresh motor oil according to the maintenance Instruction for your car and

check the oil-level with the oil dipstick.

11. After finishing your work, clean the pump thoroughly by pumping fresh oil through the pump.

12. Remove the hoses from the pump, plug them together and store the whole unit in a place where

it is protected against dust.

MAINTENANCE

• Maintain your oil extractor. It is recommended that the general condition of any oil extractor

be examined before it is used. Keep your oil extractor in good repair by adopting a program of

conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service

personnel.
