Always read instructions carefully prior to use.
Recommended Fluids:
Engine Oil, Gear and Transmission Oils, Power Steering Fluid, Coolants, Brake Fluid and Other Fluids.
Do not use with gasoline.
Using the PneumatiV ac away from a Compressed Air Source
The PneumatiV ac is equipped with an air control valve on the Venturi at the base of the unit and an in-line
fluid shut off valve on the hose assembly. This allows the unit to function away from the air source as
follows:
• Once the compressed air source has been connected to the Venturi, open the air control valve and close
the in-line fluid shut off valve.
• Maintain a vacuum in the reservoir and then close the air control valve.
• Disconnect the PneumatiVac from the compressed air source and transport it to your job site.
• Open the in-line fluid shut off valve and the vacuum stored in the reservoir will automatically suction out
the fluid.
When used in conjunction with the Mityvac® Fluid Evacuator Brake Bleeding Accessory Kit, PIN 07205,
this tool can be used to vacuum bleed hydraulic brake systems.
The reservoir tank of the Pneumativac is equipped with an automatic shut-off valve to prevent over-filling of
the reservoir tank. As the fluid being evacuated flows into the reservoir tank it will raise the float. When the
float reaches the shut-off valve, the flow of fluid being extracted will automatically stop.
Extracting and Dispensing Lubricants (General)
(Motor oil, Gear Oil, Transmission Fluid, etc.)
Extracting and Dispensing Motor Oil into a Crankcase
1. Park vehicle on level ground, ensure the transmission of the vehicle is in “neutral” or “park” position
and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle until it reaches normal operating temperature. Once this is
accomplished, turn engine off.
3. Remove the engine oil dipstick.
4. Select and insert the smallest diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick hole until it reaches the bottom
of the oil pan. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
5. Insert the opposite end of the main suction tube into the top of the reservoir tank.
6. Connect air hose to the venturi at the base of the PneumatiV ac. This will require a male 1/4" NPT
fitting (not included).
7. Open the air valve thereby creating a vacuum inside the reservoir tank that will be used to extract the
fluids.
NOTE: Due to the varying fluid capacities of engines, it may be necessary to empty the fluid reservoir
tank and restart the process if the crankcase capacity exceeds 8 liters.

8. Once the oil has been extracted from the crankcase, remove the main suction tube from the reservoir
tank; pour the oil from the tank into a suitable container, and dispose of the oil in an appropriate manner. Rinse out the reservoir tank with clean solvent or engine degreaser. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
9. Refilled the crankcase to the desired level.
10. Run the engine momentarily to circulate the new oil and then recheck the level to ensure that it is at
the “full” mark.
Extracting and Dispensing Fluid into T ransmission Cases and Differentials
1. Follow Steps 1 & 2. (See Extracting and Dispensing Motor Oil into a Crankcase)
2. Remove the transmission fluid dipstick or fill plug.
In some applications this may require jacking or lifting the vehicle. Use appropriate
safety stands to avoid serious or fatal injury .
3. Select and insert the appropriate diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick fill hole until it reaches the
bottom of the transmission pan or gear case. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
4. Insert the opposite end of the main suction tube into the top of the reservoir tank.
5. Connect air hose to the venturi at the base of the PneumatiV ac. This will require a male 1/4" NPT
fitting (not included).
6. Open the air valve thereby creating a vacuum inside the reservoir tank that will be used to extract the
fluids.
7. Once the desired amount of fluid has been extracted, close the air control valve to stop the extraction
process.
8. Remove the main suction tube from the reservoir tank; pour the transmission fluid from the tank into a
suitable container, and dispose of the transmission fluid in an appropriate manner. Rinse out the
reservoir tank with clean solvent or engine degreaser. Allow it to dry thoroughly .
9. Refill the transmission to the desired level.
10. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature to circulate the new fluid and then re-check the
level to ensure that it is full.
Extracting and Dispensing Coolant into a Cooling System
1. Allow the engine to cool.
2. Remove the radiator I expansion tank cap.
3. Select the largest diameter dipstick tube and insert the tube into the radiator neck or expansion tank.
4. Insert the opposite end of the main suction tube into the top of the reservoir tank.
5. Connect air hose to the venturi at the base of the PneumatiV ac. This will require a male 1/4" NPT
fitting (not included).
