COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Unpack all components. Use laminated placard to verify fitting adapter quantities. Contact RTI if any items are missing or damaged.
Safety Precautions WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury or death. • Read and understand the Operation Manual completely before operating this unit. • Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating and maintaining this equipment. • Take precautions to keep clothing, hair, hands, hoses etc. away from all moving parts of the vehicle. • Many Automatic Transmission systems can be extremely hot and operate at high pressures.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The ATX-2 is an automatic transmission fluid exchanger featuring state-of-the-art electronic controls with digital weight scales measuring the automatic transmission fluid coming into and going out of the machine. Operation of the ATX-2 is intuitive and very easy to master. Transmission fluid is recovered from vehicle and filtered before collecting in the ATX-2 used fluid tank.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS Transmission fluid is emptied completely from the used fluid tank inside the ATX-2 into a bulk used tank for proper disposal. This procedure is performed when the used fluid tank is full or the used fluid tank capacity is not sufficient to perform selected exchange. The ATX-2 buzzer will sound continuously until the stop button is pushed when procedure is complete. Refer to page 11 for complete instructions.
CONNECTING TO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM Transmission Cooler Lines Radiator Fitting Adapters 12 inch 90° Adapter Hose 12 inch Straight Adapter Hose New Fluid Sight Indicator 1. Add desired amount of transmission fluid to the new fluid tank through the ATX-2 fill port. Monitor fluid level in the ATX-2 through the Level Indicator. 2. Locate and disconnect the transmission cooler lines at the most convenient location: A.
CONNECTING TO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM 6. Connect red (positive) clamp on power cable to red (positive) terminal on vehicle battery. Connect the black (negative) clamp to a ground on vehicle frame. All lights on keypad should illuminate for 1 second and buzzer should pulse. If not, check connections and make sure REVERSE POLARITY light is not illuminated. WARNING: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation.
FLUSH 1. Vehicle engine is running and the ATX-2 is connected as previously described, READY light is illuminated. 2. Slowly add Flush Solution as recommenced by the supplier into the vehicle through the transmission system dip stick port. 3. The ATX-2 will now circulate the solution through the transmission system until a procedure is selected. The Flush Solution will be removed from the system during the exchange procedure.
FLUID EXCHANGE (4,8,12,16,20 QUARTS) 1. Vehicle engine is running and the ATX-2 is connected as previously described, READY light is illuminated. 2. Determine vehicle transmission fluid capacity from the vehicle operator or service manual. 3. Press the corresponding QUART button, always round up (for example if vehicle capacity is 6.5 quarts an 8 quart exchange would be selected). 4. The change of fluid can be monitored through the ATX-2 Old-New Sight Bowls.
DISCONNECTING FROM THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - Caution Hoses, fitting adapters and the engine may be extremely hot. Use extreme caution when disconnecting. 1. Turn vehicle engine off. READY light should go off. Make sure READY light is OFF before proceeding. 2. Disconnect ATX-2 from the vehicle battery. 3. Disconnect 10 ft black and red hoses from the 12 inch adapter hoses. 4. Disconnect 12 inch adapter hoses from fitting adapters connected to the transmission system. 5.
EMPTY USED 1. Vehicle engine is turned OFF and the ATX-2 is disconnected as previously described, READY light is off. 2. Couple any fitting adapter to the end of the 8 ft black hose (left side of ATX-2). Place end of hose in bulk used container. 3. Press the EMPTY USED button on the keypad. 4. Buzzer will sound and used transmission fluid will empty from the used tank inside the ATX-2 to the bulk container. Level can be viewed through the Level Indicator on the left side of the ATX-2. 5.
MAINTENANCE The ATX-2 will provide many years of reliable service if properly maintained. The following checklist will ensure that the ATX-2 will run at peak efficiency and present an image to your customers that your shop performs high tech transmission services. 1. Use tool tray for storage of tools and adapters only. 2. Keep the exterior surface clean. Use a mild all purpose cleaner to wipe transmission fluid and dirt off the cabinet. 3.
