Always read instructions carefully prior to use.
Recommended Fluids:
Engine Oil, Gear and Transmission Oils, Power Steering Fluid, Coolants, Brake Fluid and Other Fluids.
Using the PneumatiVac away from a Compressed Air Source
The PneumatiVac is equipped with an air control valve on the Venturi at the base of the unit and an in-line
fluid shut off valve on the hose assembly. This allows the unit to function away from the air source as fol-
lows:
•
Once the compressed air source has been connected to the Venturi, open the air control valve and close
the in-line fluid shut off valve.
•
Maintain a vacuum in the reservoir and then close the air control valve.
•
Disconnect the PneumatiVac from the compressed air source and transport it to your job site.
•
Open the in-line fluid shut off valve and the vacuum stored in the reservoir will automatically suction out
the fluid.
When used in conjunction with the Mityvac® Fluid Evacuator Brake Bleeding Accessory Kit, PIN 07205,
this tool can be used to vacuum bleed hydraulic brake systems.
The reservoir tank of the Pneumativac is equipped with an automatic shut-off valve to prevent over-filling
of the reservoir tank. As the fluid being evacuated flows into the reservoir tank it will raise the float. When
the float reaches the shut-off valve, the flow of fluid being extracted will automatically stop.
Extracting and Dispensing Lubricants (General)
(Motor oil, Gear Oil, Transmission Fluid, etc.)
Extracting and Dispensing Motor Oil into a Crankcase
1. Park vehicle on level ground, ensure the transmission of the vehicle is in "neutral" or "park" position
and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle until it reaches normal operating temperature. Once this is
accomplished, turn engine off.
3. Remove the engine oil dipstick.
4. Select and insert the smallest diameter dipstick tube into the dipstick hole until it reaches the bottom
of the oil pan. Connect the main suction tube to the dipstick tube.
5. Insert the opposite end of the main suction tube into the top of the reservoir tank.
6. Connect air hose to the venturi at the base of the PneumatiVac. This will require a male 1/4" NPT fit-
ting (not included).
7. Open the air valve thereby creating a vacuum inside the reservoir tank that will be used to extract the
fluids.
NOTE: Due to the varying fluid capacities of engines, it may be necessary to empty the fluid reservoir
tank and restart the process if the crankcase capacity exceeds 8 liters.
