Product Overview

The Vevor 17-Gallon Low-Profile Oil Drain is designed for efficient oil collection in automotive applications. It features a high-impact, lightweight polypropylene reservoir, a manual pump for quick evacuation, and 4-inch heavy-duty casters for easy maneuverability. The unit includes a T-handle and an 8-foot evacuation hose.

Safety Rules

Warning: Failure to follow safety instructions can result in serious injury. Always read the manual thoroughly before assembly or operation. Ensure the work area is clean, well-lit, and free of clutter. Keep children and bystanders away. Be aware of hidden mechanical hazards like electrical wires or pipes under the work surface.

Personal Safety: Stay alert and use common sense. Do not operate the device while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Wear appropriate safety gear, including safety glasses, non-skid shoes, and gloves. Ensure the drain is used only on a flat, level, and stable surface. Never work under a vehicle without proper support devices. Avoid burns by allowing the engine to cool completely before draining oil.

Assembly

To assemble the unit, follow these steps:

  • Remove the rear caster bolt and slide out the mounting plate.
  • Attach the handle to the mounting plate using the provided screw.
  • Secure the pump mounting bracket to the plate with nuts and bolts.
  • Re-attach the mounting plate and caster.
  • Install the pump using the provided bolts.
  • Connect the short hose to the pump and reservoir using hose clamps.
  • Attach the long evacuation hose to the top of the pump.

Operation

Position the reservoir directly beneath the engine oil drain plug. Once the oil has drained, replace the engine plug. To empty the reservoir, move the unit to a storage area, place the long hose into a collection tank, and operate the hand pump until the reservoir is empty.

Maintenance and Disposal

Regularly inspect the oil drain for damaged, loose, or missing parts. Do not use the equipment if it is damaged. Clean the unit with a mild solvent or detergent and store it in a dry, safe location. Always follow local environmental regulations for the disposal of used engine oil, as it contains hazardous chemicals.
