PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION

This equipment is designed and intended for use as a
means to dispense fluid. It utilizes a manual pressure
pump to build pressure in the reservoir. The pressure
forces fluid to dispense out of the reservoir through a
fluid pickup tube. The output of the fluid pickup tube
is connected to a quick-change coupler, to which a va-
riety of accessories can be attached to control or direct
the flow of fluid according to the intended application.
The equipment should never be operated above a
safe level of pressure depending on the application. A
gauge is installed to indicate the pressure in the reser-
voir, and should be observed regularly to ensure the
pressure remains at or below what is recommended
for the application.

Applications

This equipment is intended for filling reservoirs with
fluids such as engine coolant, motor oil, or wiper,
automatic transmission, brake or power steering fluid.
However, with the proper accessories it can safely
be used to pressure bleed hydraulic brake or clutch
systems, or refill or top-off sealed automatic transmis-
sions.

Precautions

This equipment is designed for servicing a variety
of vehicles in a safe, convenient manner. However,
differences in vehicle makes and models may make it
impossible to use this equipment as it is intended. Do
not attempt to force the use of this equipment on an
application for which it is not designed to perform.
The procedures documented in this manual are to
serve as guidelines for the use of this equipment. In
addition to these guidelines, always follow the manu-
facturer's recommended procedures when servicing
each unique vehicle.
The use of this equipment is simple and straightfor-
ward if you follow the instructions. However, always
keep in mind that you are working with a system that
may be under pressure, with fluid that is just waiting
to be expelled. When operating this equipment,
use common sense, and always stop to think before
disconnecting a hose or other component.

rized service center for repair or replacement.
• Some fluids, including brake fluid, are corrosive,
and proper care should be taken to protect painted
surfaces and skin from exposure.
