Modes of Operation

Refer to Page 2 and Figure 2 for details on the
following procedures.
Charging the Tank (Vacuum)
NOTE: Check Level Gauge (25). Refer to
the section entitled Emptying the Tank, if
the Level Gauge indicates Full or if oil
being drained into the tank will exceed the
maximum capacity.
1. Open Valve (A) fully by turning counterclockwise.
• This releases any pressure within the Tank through
Muffler (10).
2. Close Ball Valves (D), (E), (F) and (G).
3. Open Ball Valves (B), and (C).
4. Set the air supply to a maximum of 100 psi (7 bar).
• This establishes the best vacuum efficiency.
5. Attach the air supply to Connector (C1).
6. Close Ball Valve (C) once Vacuum Gauge (1)
reaches the red zone (approximately 3 minutes).
7. Disconnect the air supply from Connector (C1).
NOTE: The extractor can be operated
with the air supply connected.
Oil Extraction
NOTE: Check Level Gauge (25). Refer to
the section entitled Emptying the Tank if
the Level Gauge indicates full or if oil
being drained into the Tank will exceed
the maximum capacity.

Gravity Collection
1. Open Valve (A) fully by turning counterclockwise.
• This releases any pressure within the Tank through
Muffler (10).
2. Close Valves (B), (C), (D), and (E).
3. Open Valve (F) and (G).
4. Insert Plugs (23) and (43).
