FAQs
What is the maximum capacity of the extractor?
The extractor has a maximum capacity of 6 litres.
Can this extractor be used for brake fluid?
Yes, it is suitable for extracting brake fluid, provided it is clean and not corrosive.
What type of air connection does it use?
It uses a standard 1/4" BSP Euro male coupling for compressed air.
How do I switch between manual and pneumatic operation?
Manual operation involves using the handle directly. For pneumatic operation, simply connect the compressed air supply.
What are the dimensions of the extractor?
The dimensions are approximately 480mm x 220mm x 220mm.
Can I use this extractor for thicker oils or grease?
No, this extractor is designed for low-viscosity fluids only and is not suitable for thick oils, grease, or corrosive substances.
How do I clean the extraction tubes?
After use, flush the tubes with a suitable cleaning fluid (like soapy water or degreaser) followed by clean water. Ensure they are dry before storage.
Troubleshooting
No vacuum is being created.
Check that the extraction tube is fully inserted and sealed. For pneumatic use, verify the air supply is connected correctly and providing adequate pressure (85-110psi). Ensure all seals and connections are tight.
Slow fluid extraction.
Confirm the correct size tube is being used for the opening. Ensure the tube is inserted deep enough to reach the fluid. If using pneumatic power, check air pressure and flow. Clean any potential blockages within the tubes or the main unit.
Unit leaks during operation.
Inspect all seals and connections for damage or looseness. Tighten any loose fittings. If a seal is damaged, it may need replacement.
Pneumatic operation is inconsistent.
Ensure your air compressor is functioning correctly and maintaining the required 85-110psi. Check the air hose for kinks or leaks. The 1/4" Euro coupling may need cleaning or replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile for various automotive and general fluid tasks.
- Offers both manual and pneumatic operation for user preference and speed.
- Includes multiple tube sizes for wider applicability.
- Generous 6-litre capacity minimizes interruptions.
- Easy connection to standard workshop air compressors.
Cons
- Requires a separate compressed air supply for pneumatic operation.
- Not suitable for corrosive fluids or high-viscosity liquids.
- Pneumatic operation has a specific working pressure range (85-110psi) that must be met.
- Can be heavy when full due to its capacity.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate extraction tube. The 10mm tube is generally used first, with smaller tubes inserted into it if needed for tighter access.
- Insert the tube(s) into the fluid source.
- For manual operation, simply pull the handle to create vacuum and push to release fluid into the 6L reservoir.
- For pneumatic operation, connect a 1/4" BSP Euro male coupling air hose to the inlet. Ensure your air compressor provides pressure between 85-110psi. Activating the trigger initiates the vacuum.
Compatibility:
- Fluids: Engine oil, ATF, coolant, brake fluid, water, and other non-corrosive, low-viscosity fluids.
- Air Supply: Requires compressed air at 85-110psi with a 1/4" BSP Euro male coupling.
Care:
- After each use, thoroughly flush the unit with a suitable cleaning fluid (e.g., soapy water or a degreaser, followed by clean water) to prevent residue buildup.
- Ensure the reservoir and tubes are completely dry before storage.
- Store in a clean, dry location.
