Refilling Sealed Automatic Transmissions - Mityvac MV6400 Mode D'emploi

refilling sealed automatiC transmissions

The Mityvac Fluid Dispensing System is appro-
priate for use to refill or top-off sealed auto-
matic transmissions. Additional accessories and
adapters may be required and are available from
Mityvac for performing this function.
1. Unscrew the lid w/ pump from the reservoir,
and fill to desired level with new vehicle manu-
facturer's recommended transmission fluid.
Caution: Lifetime "sealed" transmissions
require the use of special manufacturer recom-
mended fluids. Use of any other fluids may
cause severe damage to the transmission and
void the manufacturer's warranty.
note: There are two scales of volume on the
reservoir. One scale indicates the volume
when the lid w/ pump is removed and one
when the lid w/ pump is installed. Be sure to
note the appropriate scale.
Caution: If fluid is added above the MAX
FILL line, the reservoir will overflow when the
lid w/ pump is installed.
2. Reinstall the lid w/ pump onto the reservoir.
3. Connect the fluid dispensing hose to the reser-
voir using the quick-connect coupler. Ensure
the coupler sleeve snaps forward to lock the
connection.
note: The shutoff valve installed in the fluid
dispensing hose may be left open or closed. If
left open, fluid will begin to flow as soon as the
pump is operated. If closed, pressure will build
in the reservoir as indicated on the gauge.
4. Select the appropriate ATF refill adapter for the
application and connect it to the output of the
fluid dispensing hose.
5. Insert or connect the ATF refill adapter to the
transmission.
6. While observing the pressure gauge, operate
the pump to build pressure in the reservoir to
the desired level, or until the proper amount of
fluid has been dispensed.
Form 801193
note: Check the vehicle's service manual to
determine the proper method to check the
transmission fluid level. Failure to follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure
could result in under- or over-filling the trans-
mission, causing severe transmission damage.
The pressure relief valve is designed to open
and maintain maximum pressure between 17
and 23 psi (1.2 and 1.6 bar).
Continual operation of the pump is not re-
quired to maintain fluid flow. Fluid will continue
to flow as long as there is pressure in the
reservoir and the shutoff valve is open.
Warning: Do not exceed 25 psi (1.7 bar)
pressure in the reservoir. The relief valve
should prevent this, but if it fails and the pres-
sure exceeds 25 psi, immediately discontinue
use and send the unit to an authorized service
center for repair or replacement.
7. Once the proper amount of fluid has been
dispensed, close the shutoff valve on the fluid
dispensing hose and bleed off the pressure by
tilting the pressure relief knob located on the
lid.
8. Depending on the type of fluid and future in-
tended use, store or empty the remaining fluid
from the reservoir.
9. Clean the unit with denatured alcohol or com-
mon household cleaners, and store it properly.
