The Sealey Vacuum Oil/Fluid Extractors, models TP6901, TP6903, and TP6904, are 9-liter capacity devices designed for the extraction of various fluids from vehicles and machinery. These extractors are constructed from composite materials, ensuring durability and a lightweight design.

Function Description:

The primary function of these devices is to extract engine oil, transmission oil, and other lubricating oils from cars, motorcycles, marine engines, stationary engines, and industrial machinery. They are also suitable for extracting low-viscosity fluids such as water. The TP6901 model operates solely via a manual pump, requiring the user to physically pump a handle to create a vacuum. The TP6903 model operates exclusively using a compressed air supply, generating a vacuum automatically when connected to an air line. The TP6904 model offers dual functionality, allowing for both manual pumping and air-powered operation, providing flexibility depending on the user's preference or available resources. All models are supplied with Ø6 and Ø10mm suction probes, which are inserted into the dipstick tube to extract engine oil, and an Ø8 x 1100mm brake/clutch bleeding hose, enabling brake bleeding operations.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Capacity: 9 liters for all models.
  • Suction Probes: Ø6 x 1100mm and Ø10 x 1100mm.
  • Hose: Ø8 x 1100mm.
  • Maximum Oil/Fluid Temperature: 70°C for all models.
  • Air Pressure (TP6903 & TP6904): 70-170 psi.
  • Air Consumption (TP6903 & TP6904): 5 cfm.

Usage Features:

  • Fluid Extraction:
    • Preparation: Before extraction, ensure the vehicle is level and run the engine for approximately five minutes to warm the oil, then switch off the engine. It is crucial that the oil/fluid temperature does not exceed 70°C.
    • Probe Insertion: Remove the oil dipstick and insert the appropriate extracting probe into the dipstick tube, ensuring it reaches the bottom of the sump. A wire supplied with the unit can be used to make the tube more rigid if needed.
    • Connection: Connect the extracting probe to the main suction tube using the black rubber adaptor. The main suction tube is then connected to the fluid inlet coupling on the extractor tank.
    • Air Operation (TP6903 & TP6904): Connect an airline to the coupling at the back of the air valve, ensuring the air valve is initially in the "off" position. Adjust the air source to be between 70 and 170 psi with an air flow of 5 cfm. To commence suction, turn the air valve "on" and press the blue suction start button. The unit will automatically shut off when the tank is full. If extraction is completed before the tank is full, turn the air valve off manually.
    • Manual Operation (TP6901 & TP6904): Extend the bent rod foot rest for stability. Connect the quick coupler on the end of the air hose from the hand pump to the air valve coupling (for TP6904, open the air valve). To commence suction, press the blue suction start button (for TP6904) and pump the handle up and down through its full travel. The pump handle will lock up when the tank is full, indicating the auto shut-off mechanism has operated. To return the handle to the down position, hold down the release valve button and push the handle down.
    • Disposal: After extraction, disconnect the airline (if applicable) and the suction tube. Pour the extracted fluid into a suitable container for disposal in accordance with local authority regulations. Do not store fluids in the extractor's tank.
  • Brake Bleeding Operation:
    • Preparation: Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions for brake bleeding and wheel sequence. If no specific instructions are available, follow the general procedure. Do not touch the vehicle's brake pedal during bleeding.
    • Brake Fluid: Familiarize yourself with the hazards of brake fluid. Remove the lid of the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir and fill it to its maximum mark.
    • Tube Connection: Connect the blue flexible plastic brake nipple connector of the brake bleeding tube to the brake nipple on the first wheel and open the nipple about 1/4 of a turn. Connect the black rubber adaptor of the brake bleeding tube to the fluid inlet coupling on the extractor tank.
    • Bleeding Process: Turn on the air valve (TP6903 & TP6904) or operate the pump handle (manual models). A vacuum will draw brake fluid from the system. Operate for a few seconds only to avoid entirely draining the reservoir. Regularly check and top up the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir. Continue bleeding until no air bubbles are visible in the clear tube.
    • Completion: Close the brake nipple, remove the rubber pipe, and repeat the process at each wheel.
    • Changing Brake Fluid: Repeat the bleeding procedure until the master cylinder reservoir is at its minimum level. Fill with new brake fluid and continue bleeding until new fluid is visible in the clear tube.
    • Post-Bleeding: Apply copper grease to the brake bleed nipples before and after the procedure to prevent seizing. Test the brake pedal action to ensure brakes are working before driving.

Maintenance Features:

  • General Maintenance: Keep the extractor clean and maintain it in good condition. Use an authorized service agent for repairs. Replace or repair damaged parts with genuine parts only, as unauthorized parts may be dangerous and invalidate the warranty.
  • Air Supply Maintenance (TP6903 & TP6904):
    • Drain the compressor air tank daily.
    • Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly.
    • Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed the specified pressure. Too high pressure or unclean air can shorten the extractor's life and be dangerous.
    • Keep air hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and ensure all connections are secure.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Unit not starting (air valve open, blue button pressed): Check for an audible "click" when the button is pressed. If not heard, turn the unit upside down, incline it to 45°, and shake it. The unit may require internal lubrication; disconnect the quick coupling, introduce a few drops of air tool oil into the male coupling, close the air valve, and reconnect.
    • Automatic shut-off not operating (tank full): Turn air off manually and empty the tank. Address potential internal lubrication issues as described above.
    • Extractor working but no fluid being extracted:
      • If all fluid has been extracted but the tank is not full, turn off air manually.
      • If the extractor probe is not fully immersed, push it further into the liquid/engine sump.
      • If the tank is full, empty it.
  • Storage: When not in use, disconnect from the air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof area. Do not store in areas of high temperature, direct sunlight, rain, or snow.

Safety Instructions:

  • Adhere strictly to Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations.
  • Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, goggles, and face mask for the fluid being extracted.
  • Ensure the extractor's tank capacity exceeds the amount of fluid to be collected.
  • Avoid unintentional starting and ensure the suction tube is fully submerged in the fluid before operating.
  • Keep the work area clean, uncluttered, and adequately lit.
  • Maintain correct balance and footing; wear non-slip shoes.
  • Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the working area.
  • Dispose of waste fluids in accordance with local authority regulations. Do not allow uncontrolled discharge of fluids.
  • Do not pull or yank pipes/hoses, or move the extractor by pulling the hose.
  • Do not leave the extractor operating unattended.
  • Use only for engine/transmission oils or similar NON-corrosive fluids, or water.
  • Do not use for hazardous chemicals, solvents, petrol, diesel, kerosene, alkaline, or acids. If such fluids are used, immediately drain and thoroughly clean the unit. Use with prohibited fluids will invalidate the warranty.
  • Do not dismantle, tamper, or adapt the extractor for any purpose other than its design.
  • Do not direct the air line at yourself or others.
  • Always read and comply with warnings on brake fluid containers. Brake fluid is flammable and can damage paintwork. Wear eye protection and minimize skin contact. Seek medical advice if brake fluid enters eyes or is swallowed.
