FILLING THE ENGINES
Note: If you are using this unit for the fi rst time to fi ll
the engine crankcases be sure to read and follow the
information in the “START UP section.
1. Before attempting to fi ll an engine, make sure the
engine has been completely drained or is in need of a
measured amount of additional oil. DO NOT OVERFILL!
2. Determine the type and the amount of oil recommended
by the engine manufacturer for each engine.
Remember 4 quarts = 1 gallon
3. Th
ere are two commonly used methods to determine
when the proper amount of oil has been delivered to the
engine.
Pre-measured Method- this method requires the operator
to set aside a known quantity of oil prior to fi lling. For
example, if the engine requires 6 quarts of oil, the operator
may want to pump from a gallon container, adding 2
additional quarts as the container empties.
Timed Method- the timed method is used when pumping
from a container of unknown capacity or a reservoir. Th
e
fl ow of oil through the system varies primarily with the
viscosity and temperature of the oil.
Under normal conditions the system pumps 4 quarts of
40 weight oil in approximately 90 seconds. Filling time is
a function of several factors, including the oil temperature
and weight. Oil (40 weight) at 85 degrees F. pumps about
20% faster than the same oil at 75 degrees F.
Note: Fresh oil should be 75 degrees F. or warmer before
pumping.
FILLING THE PORT ENGINE
1.
Loosen the oil fi ller cap on the engine or remove the
dip stick to allow air to enter the crankcase.
2. Insert the PVC wand of the Drain/Fill Hose into a
container of fresh oil.
3. Release the fail-safe lock device on the Pump/Motor
Unit valve handle and direct the arrow-shaped tip to
“PORT ENGINE”.
4. Flip the pump motor switch on the X-Change-R to
the “FILL” position. Th
e pump will start immediately
and you will observe the oil moving through the clear
tubing toward the Pump/Motor Unit. You should hear
a noticeable change in the sound (speed) of the pump
motor when oil enters the pump.
5. Continue to operate the pump until a measured
amount of oil has been pumped into the engine’s
crankcase. Fresh oil is pumped at the rate of about one
gallon each 90 seconds.
6. Flip the pump motor control switch to the “OFF”
position when the oil pan nears its fi lled capacity and
check the proper oil level with the engine’s dipstick.
If fi lling is completed, place the fail-safe switch in the
“OFF” position.
Note: If you have an over-fi lled engine, you may simply
fl ip the motor control switch to the “DRAIN” position
for a few seconds to remove the extra oil.
