This document describes an 8-gallon portable oil drain, an essential piece of equipment designed for the safe and efficient collection of used automotive fluids. The device is intended for use by properly trained personnel and is built with safety as a primary consideration. Its design emphasizes ease of assembly, adjustability, and robust construction to ensure reliable performance in a professional work environment.

Function Description

The primary function of the 8-gallon portable oil drain is to collect used oil and other automotive fluids from vehicles. It provides a convenient and contained solution for fluid disposal, preventing spills and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. The device consists of a funnel, a two-piece down spout, a clamp, and an 8-gallon tank. The funnel is positioned to catch fluids draining from a vehicle, which then flow through the down spout into the sealed tank for temporary storage. This system is designed to facilitate the clean and safe transfer of fluids, minimizing exposure to hazardous materials and maintaining a tidy work area. The portability of the unit, achieved through its wheeled tank, allows it to be easily moved to different service bays or locations within a workshop, enhancing its versatility and utility.

Usage Features

The oil drain is designed for straightforward and safe operation, provided that users adhere to the instructions and warnings outlined in the manual.

Assembly and Setup: The device requires minimal assembly, which involves connecting the two-piece down spout, attaching the funnel to the spout, and then inserting the entire assembly into the tank. A clamp secures the down spout to the tank neck, allowing for height adjustment to accommodate various vehicle types and working conditions. This adjustability is a key feature, enabling the user to position the funnel at an optimal height to prevent splashing and ensure effective fluid capture.
Operation: Before operation, users must ensure they have read and understood the entire manual, including all safety warnings and cautions. The device should only be operated on hard, level surfaces capable of sustaining the load to prevent instability and potential loss of fluid. Overloading the oil drain beyond its rated capacity is strictly prohibited, as it can lead to damage or failure of the unit. During operation, users are advised to keep hands and body clear of all pinch points to avoid injury. The funnel's wide opening is designed to efficiently capture draining fluids, and the sealed tank prevents leaks and spills during collection and transport.
Portability: The 8-gallon tank is equipped with wheels, making the unit highly portable. This allows technicians to easily move the oil drain to the specific location where a vehicle is being serviced, eliminating the need to move the vehicle itself or use multiple collection containers. This feature significantly improves workflow efficiency and convenience in a busy workshop environment.
Fluid Disposal: Once the tank is full, the collected used oil and other automotive fluids must be disposed of in compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental laws and regulations. The sealed design of the tank ensures that fluids can be transported safely to a designated disposal area without spillage.
User Responsibility: The owner and/or operator bear the responsibility of studying the product instructions and retaining them for future reference. They must have a thorough understanding of the operating instructions and warnings before operating the equipment. If the operator is not fluent in English, the instructions and warnings must be read to and discussed with them in their native language to ensure full comprehension. This emphasis on user education and responsibility is crucial for safe operation and preventing accidents.

Maintenance Features

Regular inspection and maintenance are vital to ensure the continued safe and effective operation of the 8-gallon portable oil drain.

Pre-Use Inspection: Before each use, a visual inspection of the oil drain is mandatory. This inspection should focus on identifying any abnormal conditions such as cracked welds, leaks, or damaged, loose, or missing parts. Any product that appears damaged, worn, or operates abnormally must be immediately removed from service.
Damage and Abnormal Operation: If the product is found to be damaged in any way, is worn, or operates abnormally, it must be removed from service immediately. Similarly, if the product is accidentally subjected to an abnormal load or shock, it must be taken out of service immediately and inspected by a qualified repair service center. Operating damaged or malfunctioning equipment can lead to further damage, personal injury, or property damage.
Repairs: Any product that operates abnormally must be repaired by a qualified repair service center. The manual explicitly states that no alterations should be made to the product due to potential hazards. If repairs are necessary, OEM TOOLS® customer service should be contacted. Unauthorized repairs or alterations can compromise the safety and integrity of the equipment and may void the warranty.
Annual Inspection: An annual inspection of the oil drain is recommended. During this inspection, any damaged or worn parts, decals, or warning labels should be replaced with manufacturer-specified parts. Maintaining clear and legible warning labels is particularly important for ongoing safety awareness.
Warranty Policy: The product comes with a warranty policy that covers defects in materials or workmanship within 90 days of purchase. This policy outlines the procedure for returning a defective product for replacement. It also specifies that the warranty excludes incidental/consequential damages and failures due to misuse, abuse, or normal wear and tear. This encourages proper use and care of the equipment to ensure its longevity.
Shipping Damage Claims: In the event of shipping damage, the purchaser is responsible for notifying the carrier immediately and saving all packaging materials for the carrier's inspector to examine. Prompt reporting of damage is crucial, as failure to do so could result in the denial of a claim. This highlights the importance of inspecting the product upon receipt.

By adhering to these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure the safe, efficient, and long-lasting performance of the 8-gallon portable oil drain, contributing to a safer and more productive work environment.
