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 variety 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 applica-
tion. A gauge is installed to indicate the pressure
in the reservoir, 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 acces-
sories it can safely be used to pressure bleed hy-
draulic brake or clutch systems, or refill or top-off
sealed automatic transmissions.
