disconnecting alligator clips to battery
terminals and ground. The switch in an “ON”
position can cause an electrical spark which
can result in explosion. Injury or death can

140°F-160° F [60°-71°C]. Turn off engine prior to removing oil.

2. Remove dipstick and insert the oil probe tube making certain it is at the bottom of the oil pan. It
may help to measure the probe against the dipstick, add an inch and mark the probe.

3. Check that pump switch is in OFF position. Connect red (+) clip to battery (+) terminal. Connect
black (-) clip to (-) ground terminal.

4. Energize the pump by turning switch, located on the motor rear end-bell to the “ON” position.
Turn off pump when oil removal is completed. It will be easy to detect through the clear tube.
Do not worry about running pump dry, pump has run dry capabilities.

5. Remove probe from dipstick tube while wiping with a rag to prevent oil spills.

6. To empty the container, pull up the retractable pour spout and pour the oil.

procedure use adequate eye protection,
appropriate gloves and clothing.

CAUTION

breaker. In the event of overload or high
temperature, the circuit will “open”. Once the
motor temperature is within proper limits, it will
automatically reset and the pump will start
