only at the fitting and do not enter the sys-
tem. Applying grease or Teflon tape around
the threads of the fitting will eliminate most
of the bubbles.
8. Keep the bleed screw open and continue to
operate the vacuum pump as required until
new fluid is visibly flowing through the bleed
tube.
9. Without over-tightening, close the bleed
screw firmly prior to removing the bleed
screw adapter or hose from the bleed
screw, or relieving the vacuum from the
system.
note: It is important to ensure the bleed
screw adapter remains connected to the
bleed screw, and the bleeder is still pulling
a vacuum while the bleed screw is closed.
This prevents air from being sucked back
into the wheel cylinder from around the
bleed screw threads, before the bleed screw
is tightened and sealed.
note: If an automatic master cylinder refill
accessory is not being used, be sure to
periodically check the level and top off the
brake fluid in the master cylinder so it does
not run dry.
topping-off sealed automatic
transmissions
The Fluid Transfer Accessory Kit is appropriate
for use to refill or top-off sealed automatic trans-
missions. Additional accessories and adapters
may be required and available from Mityvac for
performing this function.
1. Unscrew the cap from the fluid transfer bot-
tle, and fill to desired level with the vehicle
manufacturer's recommended transmission
fluid.
Caution: Lifetime "sealed" transmissions
require the use of special manufacturer
recommended fluids. Use of any other fluids
may cause severe damage to the transmis-
sion and void the manufacturer's warranty
2. Reinstall the cap onto the bottle and hang
the assembly in a safe, secure location
within reach of the transmission fill port.
3. Close the ball the valve located on the fluid
hose assembly extending from the bottom
of the bottle.
4. Connect a Mityvac hand pressure pump w/
pressure gauge to the inlet hose extending
from the side of the fluid transfer bottle.
5. Depending on the application, select the ap-
propriate ATF refill adapter and perform one
of the following series of steps:
Form 801689
Connect the ATF refill adapter to the trans-
mission fill port; then connect the fluid hose
extending from the bottom of the fluid trans-
fer bottle to the other end of the adapter.
-or-
Connect the ATF refill adapter to the fluid
hose extending from the bottom of the fluid
transfer bottle; then insert the adapter into
transmission fill port.
6. Open the shut-off valve, and 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. Do not exceed 1.4 bar (20
psi) pressure in the system.
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 proce-
dure could result in under- or over-filling the
transmission, causing severe transmission
damage.
It is not necessary to relieve the pressure in
the fluid transfer bottle or close the shut-off
valve if the hose must be disconnected from
the adapter to check the transmission fluid
level. An automatic shut-off valve is built
into the quick-change coupler, which will
prevent the discharge of fluid if the coupler
is disconnected from the adapter.
Continual operation of the pump is not
required to maintain fluid flow. Fluid will
continue to flow as long as there is pressure
in the reservoir, the hose is connected to the
adapter, and the shutoff valve is open.
If the transmission is over-filled, you may
reverse the hand pump to pull a vacuum
on the system to remove and capture the
excess fluid.
7. Once the proper amount of fluid has been
dispensed, close the shutoff valve and
release the pressure in the system by acti-
vating the pressure relief lever on the hand
pump.
8. Depending on the type of fluid and future
intended use, you may store the remain-
ing fluid from the reservoir. Otherwise,
empty the fluid transfer bottle, clean it with
denatured alcohol or a common household
cleaner, and store it properly.
