Automatic shut-off function
The model 07400 Fluid Evacuator is equipped with an automatic shut-off valve that prevents overfilling the
fluid reservoir. As the evacuated fluid nears the top of the reservoir it will raise a float, interrupting the flow
of the fluid being extracted.
Extracting motor oil through the dipstick tube
1. Operate the vehicle to warm the engine oil to a normal operating temperature.
Caution: Do not attempt to extract fluids at temperatures greater than 175° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius).
2. Properly park the vehicle on level ground and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the engine oil dipstick.
4. Select and insert the appropriate diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick fill hole until it reaches the bottom of the crankcase.
5. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
6. Insert the rubber plug of the main suction tube into the reservoir adapter, and then insert the adapter
into the pour spout on the top of the reservoir. Ensure the tube connections are tight to prevent leakage.
7. Extract the used engine oil by pumping the evacuator handle several times to create a vacuum. Once
the oil begins to flow into the reservoir, continue to operate the pump until all oil has been drained from
the crankcase, or the reservoir is full. Note: Due to varying engine fluid capacities, if the crankcase
capacity exceeds 7.7 Quarts/7.3 liters, it may be necessary to empty the fluid reservoir before resuming
the extraction process.
8. Remove the reservoir adapter from the reservoir, pour the used engine oil from the reservoir into a suitable container, then dispose of the oil in an appropriate manner.
9. Rinse the evacuator reservoir, pump, adapter, and tubes with clean solvent or engine degreaser, and allow them to dry thoroughly.
10. Refill the engine with new oil in accordance with a proper vehicle maintenance guide.

(80° Celsius).
2. Properly park the vehicle on level ground and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the transmission fluid dipstick.
4. Insert the appropriate diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick fill hole until it reaches the bottom of the
transmission pan.
5. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
6. Insert the rubber plug of the main suction tube into the reservoir adapter, and then insert the adapter
into the pour spout on the top of the reservoir. Ensure the tube connections are tight to prevent leakage.

tempt to extract fluids at temperatures greater than 175° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius).
2. Properly park the vehicle on level ground and turn the engine off. If required, properly lift and support the vehicle to allow access to the differential fill plug located on the differential housing or cover.
3. Remove the differential fill plug.
4. Insert the appropriate diameter dipstick tube into the fill hole until it reaches the bottom of the differential housing.
5. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
6. Insert the rubber plug of the main suction tube into the reservoir adapter, and then insert the adapter
into the pour spout on the top of the reservoir. Ensure the tube connections are tight to prevent leakage.
7. Extract the used oil from the differential by pumping the evacuator handle several times to create a
vacuum. Once the fluid begins to flow into the reservoir, continue to operate the pump until all the fluid
has been drained from the differential.
8. Remove the reservoir adapter from the reservoir, pour the used differential oil from the reservoir into a
suitable container, then dispose of the oil in an appropriate manner.
9. Rinse the evacuator reservoir, pump, adapter, and tubes with clean solvent or engine degreaser, and
allow them to dry thoroughly.
10. Refill the differential with new oil in accordance with a proper vehicle maintenance guide.
Extracting coolant from a radiator or expansion tank
Never remove the cap from the radiator or expansion tank while the engine is at operating temperature.
Always allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap or expansion tank cap. The cooling
system is under pressure. Failure to allow the engine to cool before attempting to remove the cap could
result in serious injuries.
1. Properly park the vehicle on level ground and turn the engine off.
2. Allow engine to cool completely. Caution: Do not attempt to extract fluids at temperatures greater than
175° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius).
3. Remove the radiator or expansion tank cap.
4. Insert the main suction tube into the radiator or expansion tank until it reaches the bottom.
5. Insert the rubber plug of the main suction tube into the reservoir adapter, and then insert the adapter
into the pour spout on the top of the reservoir. Ensure the tube connections are tight to prevent leak-
age.
