APPLICATION
The Jabsco Oil Change System is designed to be installed in a
vessel's engine room with its manifold and valves permanently
plumbed to the vessel's engines' oil pans or transmissions' oil
sumps. The manifold is factory fitted with three ball valves to serve
three different oil reservoirs and may be fitted with two additional
ball valves to drain up to five oil reservoirs. The system can be used
to remove old oil from an engine or transmission then reversed,
with the integral reversing switch, to pump a measured amount
of new oil back into the engine or transmission. Each connection
to an engine is controlled by a dedicated full flow ball valve. The
system's cover provides an attractive appearance, fully shrouding
the entire pump and manifold system. It also provides added
protection against accidental draining of an engine's oil supply
because the valve cover protects the factory supplied valves from
being accidentally bumped open. Additionally, at the end of an oil
change, the cover will not close unless the factory supplied valves
are in the fully closed position.
WARNING: Burn Hazard.
Heated oil can cause burns. Wear protec-
tive gloves, clothing and safety glasses
during the oil change process. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
OPERATION
Before proceeding with an oil change, ensure the waste oil
discharge hose is connected to the pump discharge port and an
adequate number of empty waste oil containers are conveniently
available. Run engines to be changed 3-5 minutes to raise the oil
temperature to about 100° - 140° F (38° - 60° C) and reduce its
viscosity. To change oil, simply select the valve for the sump that
is intended to be changed and open it by rotating it a full 90°
counterclockwise. Ensure the waste oil discharge hose is securely
positioned in a waste oil receptacle (be aware that during the
pumping process the discharge hose may tend to move slightly)
and switch the pump on by moving the toggle switch in the
direction that the oil needs to flow. Once the pumping process is
complete (flow has stopped), switch the pump off immediately. Do
not allow the pump to run dry for more than about thirty seconds
or impeller damage may occur. Using the engine's dipstick; verify
that it is in fact empty and the oil flow was not stopped by sludge.
If the engine oil is empty, a measured amount of the correct type
(per the engine manufacturer's recommendation) of new oil can
be pumped back into the engine. Insert what was the discharge
hose, and for refilling purposes becomes the intake suction hose,
into a container with the measured amount of oil. Move the
pump's toggle switch in the direction of desired flow toward the
engine and pump the measured amount of oil into it. When the
container is empty immediately turn off the pump. Close the valve
for the engine that was just changed and always check the oil level
with the engine's dipstick to ensure the oil level is correct.
Transmission oil sumps can be changed in the same manner but it
is recommended that the oil level dipstick be removed and remain
out of its socket during the pumping process. This will maximize
ventilation to the transmission and ensure excessive vacuums are
not created during the oil changing process.
INSTALLATION
The Oil Change pump and manifold assembly may be oriented in
any position. However, if mounted to a vertical surface, it should
not be oriented with the pump's motor below the pump head.
This will ensure that, should the seal ever develop a leak, oil from
the pump head will not drip onto the motor. The Oil Changer
should be located where the lengths of hose can be kept as short
and straight as possible. The pump is selfpriming and may be
positioned up to 3ft. (0.9m) above the oil source. However, for best
operation the pump and manifold should be mounted at a level
that is just slightly above the highest oil level to be changed. Often
this is approximately even with the level of the engine mounts.
Secure the pump and manifold platform to a solid mounting
surface at the four corner attachment points. It is recommended
that heavy duty reinforced type A fuel hose be used to connect the
manifold valves with the engine pans and transmission sumps.
All hose assemblies should be made with permanent type end
connector fittings similar to hose assemblies for on-board natural
or propane gas systems.
