©Precaution:
This equipment is designed for servicing a variety of vehicles in a safe and convenient manner. However, dif-
ferences in engine blocks and dip stick configurations may make it impossible to use this equipment on every
vehicle. The procedures documented in this manual are to serve as guidelines for general use of this equipment.
In addition to these guidelines, always follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures when attempting
to use this equipment on each unique vehicle. Do not attempt to force the tubes included with this equipment
into a dip stick tube that will not readily accept the smaller of the two tubes. The tubes would appear to be too
large and not designed to be used with the particular vehicle.
Draining oil with this evacuator unit through the dipstick tube is expected to be simple and straightforward. The
instructions were written as a general guideline only.
NOTE: DO NOT FORCE THE TUBE INTO ANY CRANKCASE AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU STOP PUSHING
THE TUBE IN IF ANY FORCE IS RECOGNIZED. YOUR PARTICULAR DEALER SHOULD BE CONTACTED
FOR DETAIL ON USING THIS EQUIPMENT TO EVACUATE OIL FROM YOUR CAR IF ISSUES ARISE.
Always read carefully and understand instructions prior to using this equipment.
Tighten lid-to-reservoir screws befor first use and periodically to ensure proper seal.
Recommended for use with the following fluids:
· Engine oil
· Gear oil
· Transmission oil
· Power steering fluid
· Brake fluid
· Coolants
Automatic shut-off function
The model MV7400 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 bot
-
tom 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 ca
-
pacity 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 suit-
able 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 al-
low them to dry thoroughly.
10. Refill the engine with new oil in accordance with a proper vehicle maintenance guide.
DO NOT USE WITH GASOLINE.
