Extracting and Dispensing Fluid into Transmission 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.
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 PneumatiVac. 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 PneumatiVac. 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 fluid from the tank into a suitable
container, and dispose of the fluid in an appropriate manner. Rinse out the reservoir tank with clean solvent or
engine degreaser. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
9. Refill the system 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.
In some applications this may require jacking or lifting the vehicle. Use appropriate safety stands to
avoid serious or fatal injury.
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.
