4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required before first use. Follow these steps to set up your oil drain tank:

1. Attach Wheels: Securely attach the rigid wheels to the rear axle and the universal wheels to the front base of the tank using the provided hardware. Ensure they are firmly tightened for stable mobility.
2. Install Support Pole: Insert the adjustable support pole into the designated opening on the top of the tank. Tighten the locking mechanism to secure the pole at the desired height.
3. Mount Funnel: Place the 15.2-inch diameter funnel onto the top of the support pole. Ensure it is seated correctly and stable.
4. Connect Hose: Attach the 15.7-inch high-temperature resistant hose to the appropriate port on the tank.
5. Install Pressure Gauge: Screw the pressure gauge into its designated port on the tank. This gauge will monitor the internal pressure during air-operated drainage.
6. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections for tightness and stability before proceeding to operation.

5. Operating Instructions

The GAOMON Waste Oil Drain Tank is designed for efficient and clean waste oil collection.

1. Positioning: Roll the oil drain tank to the desired location under the vehicle. The 360-degree universal wheels and rigid wheels allow for flexible mobility in various environments.
2. Adjust Funnel Height: Adjust the funnel height between 38 to 65 inches to accommodate different vehicle models and lifting equipment. Ensure the funnel is directly beneath the oil drain plug to minimize spills.
3. Drain Oil: Open the vehicle's oil drain plug and allow the waste oil to flow into the 15-inch splash-proof funnel. The large diameter helps prevent overflow.
4. Air-Operated Drainage (for emptying tank): Once the tank is full or you need to transfer the oil, connect an air compressor to the tank's air inlet. The air-operated principle enables rapid oil drainage. Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure safe operating pressure.
5. Transferring Oil: Use the high-temperature resistant hose to transfer the collected oil to a larger storage container or disposal facility.
