Quick Guide

The XPOtool 12V Mini Pump is designed for oil changes and pumping diesel or heating oil. Important: Never pump petrol, petroleum, or other highly flammable liquids. The pump is designed for a maximum operating time of 15 minutes, after which it must be allowed to cool down. Always ensure correct polarity when connecting to a 12V battery.

Safety Instructions

Do not run dry: Never let the pump run dry or operate with the suction pipe fully closed, as this will invalidate the warranty.
Flammable liquids: Do not pump petrol, petroleum, or other easily inflammable liquids. Danger of explosion.
Electrical safety: Ensure the electrical plug connections are protected from moisture. If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician; do not repair it yourself.
Supervision: This device is not intended for use by persons with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities unless supervised.
Maintenance: Disconnect from the power supply before performing any maintenance or repair work.

Operating the Oil Suction Pump

Warm up the engine until the oil temperature reaches approximately 40–60 °C.
Switch off the engine.
Connect the suction probe with the suction hose to the suction port and the drain hose to the pump discharge port. Secure hoses with the enclosed hose clamps.
