tube as it could become wedged in the tube. (For most lawn and garden engines,
extracting oil through the dipstick/fill tube works fine.) Nevertheless, for certain
models of motorcycles, ATV’s etc., it is important that nothing obstructs the hose
prior to insertion (check your service manual or with the equipment dealer).
4. Twist cap-valve dial counter clockwise to the Open position. Watch for oil to
flow through the hose and into the tank.
5. If you hear a gurgling sound and perhaps see bubbles in the hose,
immediately move the hose slowly up and down just a fraction of an inch to
ensure thorough and efficient oil removal. If more vacuum power is needed to
completely remove oil, twist the spout cap-valve dial back to the Closed position,
pump 10 to 15 times, then twist dial to Open and continue vacuuming oil. Do not
pump with dial in Open position to avoid pulling oil into pump and possibly out the
handle.
6. When all of the oil is vacuumed, remove hose from engine and replace
dipstick in engine. Wipe hose with cloth.
7. For storage and/or transportation to recycling center, twist cap-valve dial to
Closed position and screw on pump handle. Please dispose used oil at a local oil
recycling center. To find a recycling center nearest you, visit www.liquivac.com
8. Carefully replenish oil supply following manufacturer’s recommended engine
oil type and capacity. Always check dipstick after oil change for proper fill level.
Warning: Never use with gasoline or other flammable liquids. Do not use with
hot liquids!
Troubleshooting
1. Make sure gaskets are sealing properly to hold a vacuum. Unscrew cap-valve
from tank and remove gasket. Reinsert gasket into cap-valve and screw onto
tank as tight as possible using only your hands. Do not forcibly over tighten the
cap-valve with tools. This may cause the gasket to distort and not seal properly.
2. Remove pump from tank. Make sure the large black gasket is seated properly
against the tank rim. Screw pump back onto tank and hand tighten.
3. Make sure dial on cap-valve is in closed position when pumping, and hose is
fully inserted tightly into cap-valve.
4. If you have tried the above and each pump stroke does not result in increased
resistance, then the internal leather seals in the pump may need lubrication.
Just apply several drops of oil into the pump hole (at the handle end), draw on
the handle a few times to distribute the oil. Let pump rest in vertical position,
handle side up, for 12–24 hours to allow leather to soften. After this time period,
draw on handle a few more times then reattach to tank making sure the large
gasket is seated onto the tank rim. This may be necessary when the pump has
been stored for several months.
