correctly. If in doubt, the part should be repaired. Refer
all servicing to a qualified technician. Consult your
dealer for advice.
9. Keep away from flammables. DO NOT attempt
to operate this tool near flammable materials or
combustibles. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury or death.
10. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
untrained persons. Tools may be dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
11. Maintain tools with care.
12. Keep tools dry and clean.
13. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and
are easier to control. DO NOT use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired.
14. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation.
15. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many

SAFETY RULES & INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THIS PRODUCT
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on this product. These
carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact OEMTOOLS™ for a replacement.
2. Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from brake fluid,
oil, and grease.
3. Before use, read and understand all warnings, safety
precautions, and instructions as outlined in the vehicle
manufacturer’s service manual. It is beyond the
scope of this manual to properly describe the correct
procedure and test data for each vehicle.
4. Always perform vehicle service in a properly ventilated
area. Never run an engine without proper ventilation
for its exhaust. Stop work and take necessary steps
to improve ventilation in the work area if you develop
momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation as this
indicates inadequate ventilation.
5. Engine parts that are in motion and unexpected
movement of a vehicle can injure or kill. When working
near moving engine parts, wear snug fit clothing and
keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Keep
hoses and tools clear of moving parts. Always stay
clear of moving engine parts. Hoses and tools can
be thrown through the air if not kept clear of moving
engine parts. The unexpected movement of a vehicle
can injure or kill. When working on vehicles, always set
the parking brake or block the wheels.
6. Be alert for hot engine parts to avoid accidental burns.
7. If you drove your car recently, fluids could be very hot.
Allow at least 2 hours before you handle any fluids. Oil
and coolant burns are very dangerous.
8. Avoid accidental fire and/or explosion. DO NOT smoke
near engine fuel and battery components.
9. Never remove the cap from the radiator or expansion
tank while the engine is at operating temperature.
10. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS
CAUTION:
This equipment is intended for professional use
only and only for the applications specified in in this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to extract fluids at
temperatures greater than 175°F (80°C).
CAUTION:
This equipment is designed for servicing
a variety of vehicles; however, differences in makes and
models may not allow this equipment to be used as
intended by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to force this
equipment to fit an application for which it was not designed.
CAUTION: In addition to the guidelines set by this
manual, always follow the manufacturer provided vehicle
maintenance manual prior to attempting service of any kind.
WARNING: DO NOT use this equipment with gasoline
or other flammable liquids or with fluids at temperatures
above 175°F (80°C).
WARNING:
Keep away from open flames or excessive heat.
WARNING: To extract certain fluids, the vehicle
may need to be lifted. Practice extreme caution when
using lifting equipment, and ensure that the proper lifting
equipment is utilized.
WARNING: Prior to inserting the extraction hoses into
any dipstick tube/fluid reservoir, ensure that the extraction
hoses are clean of any residual fluids. This could cause
contamination, potentially leading to system failure.
WARNING: This system creates a vacuum, thus
creating pressurized fluid. While operating, ensure secure
fittings and always check the system pressure prior to
disconnecting any hose.
