FAQs
Can I use this for transmission fluid as well?
Yes, the tank is designed to handle common automotive fluids including transmission fluid and engine oil.
How do I store the handle?
The handle is designed to fold down against the body of the tank, significantly reducing the height of the unit for storage.
Is the mesh screen removable?
Yes, the debris screen can be removed to clean out larger contaminants that get caught during the draining process.
How long is the discharge hose?
The included discharge hose is 2.2 meters long, providing plenty of reach to transfer oil to a waste barrel.
Can this be used on vehicles with very low ground clearance?
With a tank height of 14cm, it is suitable for most vehicles, though extremely lowered performance cars may require the vehicle to be raised slightly.
Troubleshooting
Oil is not pumping out through the hose
Ensure the pump is primed and the connection between the hose and the pump is airtight.
Unit is difficult to move across the floor
Check for debris caught in the wheel axles or casters and ensure the wheels are properly lubricated.
Leaking around the pump handle
Inspect the pump seal for wear and tighten the mounting bolts to ensure a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Unbox the unit and ensure all wheels are firmly attached to the frame. Test the movement of the swivel casters.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard engine oils and transmission fluids. Not intended for gasoline or highly corrosive chemicals.
Placement: Ensure the drain pan is positioned so the oil stream hits the center of the mesh screen to avoid splashing.
Care: Clean the mesh screen after every use to prevent oil buildup and blockage. Regularly check the pump hose for cracks or signs of wear. Keep the wheels free of debris to maintain smooth movement across concrete floors.
