Safety Information

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when operating the fluid extractor.
• Ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free from ignition sources.
• Do not use this device with gasoline or highly volatile, corrosive, or high-temperature fluids. This can cause damage to the unit or personal injury.
• Maintain a firm grip on the unit during operation to prevent accidental spills.
• Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 100 PSI. The safety valve is set to open at 20–25 PSI to prevent over-pressurization.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area.
• Dispose of all extracted fluids according to local environmental regulations.

Product Components and Features

The EWK 13.5L Pneumatic Oil Extractor/Dispenser Pump is designed for efficient fluid removal and dispensing. Key components and features include:

• Heavy Duty Tank: 13.5L capacity, reinforced for durability and resistance to deformation under pressure and high oil temperatures (up to 140°F). Translucent body allows fluid level monitoring.
• Pneumatic Mode: Connects to an air compressor for automated extraction.
• Manual Handle: For manual vacuum generation.
• Pressure Gauge: Monitors vacuum levels during operation.
• Safety Valve: Automatically releases excess pressure (opens at 20–25 PSI).
• Mode Switch Valve: Allows instant switching between extraction and dispensing modes.
• Air Control Valve: 1/4" NPT quick coupler for easy air supply connection.
• Quick Connector: For easy push-on/disconnect of hoses.
• Main Tube: 0.28" x 0.39" diameter, 59" length, with flow control valve.
• Extension Tubes: Two tubes (0.16" x 0.24" and 0.20" x 0.26" diameter), both 59" length, for reaching various fluid reservoirs.
• Stable Pedal: To secure the tank during operation.
• Sealed Design: Prevents leaks and spills.

Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to prepare your EWK Fluid Extractor for use:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the "What You Can Get" section are present.
2. Attach Main Tube: Securely connect the main tube to the extractor unit. Ensure the quick connector is fully engaged.
3. Select Extension Tube: Choose the appropriate diameter extension tube for your application and connect it to the main tube. Ensure a tight fit to prevent air leaks.
4. Connect Air Supply (Pneumatic Mode): If using pneumatic operation, connect your air compressor to the 1/4" NPT quick coupler on the air control valve. Ensure your air compressor is set to a pressure not exceeding 100 PSI.

Operating Instructions

This unit can be operated in both manual and pneumatic modes for fluid extraction and dispensing.

Fluid Extraction (Pneumatic Mode)

1. Prepare Vehicle/Equipment: Ensure the fluid to be extracted is at an optimal temperature (between 35°F and 140°F) for smooth operation. For engine oil, run the engine briefly to warm the oil.
2. Connect Dipstick Tube: Securely connect the chosen dipstick tube to the main tube.
3. Insert Suction Hose: Carefully insert the suction hose into the fluid reservoir (e.g., engine dipstick tube) until it reaches the bottom of the oil pan.
4. Switch to Extract Mode: Turn the mode switch valve to the "Extract" position.
5. Connect Air Compressor: Connect your air compressor to the air control valve. Open the air control valve to start the extraction process. Monitor the pressure gauge.
6. Monitor Extraction: Observe the fluid level in the translucent tank. The extraction will continue until the vacuum is lost or the tank is full. Close the air control valve when extraction is complete.
7. Disconnect: Disconnect the air compressor and remove the suction hose from the reservoir.

Fluid Extraction (Manual Mode)

1. Follow steps 1-3 from "Fluid Extraction (Pneumatic Mode)".
2. Generate Vacuum: Pump the manual handle repeatedly to create a vacuum within the tank. Continue pumping until fluid begins to flow.
3. Monitor Extraction: The vacuum will draw fluid into the tank. Continue to pump as needed to maintain suction until the fluid is extracted.
4. Disconnect: Remove the suction hose from the reservoir.

Fluid Dispensing

To dispense collected fluid from the tank:

1. Position Tank: Place the extractor tank over a suitable waste fluid container.
2. Switch to Dispense Mode: Turn the mode switch valve to the "Dispense" position.
3. Open Air Control Valve: Connect an air compressor and open the air control valve to pressurize the tank, forcing the fluid out. Alternatively, use the manual pump to pressurize the tank.
4. Control Flow: Use the flow control valve on the main tube to regulate the dispensing rate.
5. Close Valve: Close the air control valve and the flow control valve once dispensing is complete.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the tubes and the inside of the tank to prevent contamination and buildup. Use a suitable cleaning agent for the type of fluid extracted.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all hoses, connections, and seals for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Storage: Store the unit in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Pressure Gauge: Ensure the pressure gauge is functioning correctly. If it appears damaged or inaccurate, discontinue use and seek professional advice.
