APPLICATION
The Jabsco Oil Change Pump is designed to be installed near a
vessel's engine and permanently plumbed to the engine's oil
pan. The pump can be used to remove old oil from the engine,
then with the integral reversing switch, the flow direction can
be changed to pump a measured amount of new oil back into
the engine. The connection to the engine should be controlled
by the 3/8" ball valve (provided) to guard against accidental oil
discharge.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Heated oil can cause burns.
Wear protective gloves, clothing and safety
glasses during the oil change process.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Do not use pump for pumping gasoline or
other flammable liquids with flash point
below 100°F (37.8°C). Doing so may result in explosion which
could cause personal injury, death or property damage.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Motor switch must be in "OFF" position
when connecting and disconnecting
alligator clips to battery terminal and ground. The switch
in an "ON" position can cause an electrical spark which can
result in explosion. Injury or death can occur.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Take necessary precautions to ventilate
area around battery of potentially
explosive gases. Continue ventilation during oil changing
procedure. Failure to do so can result in explosion which
could cause personal injury, death or property damage.

OPERATION
Before changing oil, run engine about 3–5 minutes to raise the
oil temperature to about 100° – 140°F (38° – 60°C) and reduce
its viscosity. Open the ball valve if installed on the pump. Ensure
the waste oil discharge hose is securely positioned in a waste
oil receptacle (be aware that during the pumping process the
discharge hose may tend to move slightly) and switch the pump
on by moving the toggle switch in the direction that the oil needs
to flow. Once the pumping process is complete (flow has stopped),
switch the pump off immediately. Do not allow the pump to run
dry for more than about thirty seconds or impeller damage may
occur.
Using the engine's dipstick; verify that it is in fact empty and
the oil flow was not stopped by sludge. If the engine oil is
empty, a measured amount of the correct type (per the engine
manufacturer's recommendation) of new oil can be pumped back
into the engine. Insert what was a discharge hose, and for refilling
purposes becomes the intake suction hose, into a container with
the measured amount of oil. Move the pump's toggle switch in
the direction of desired flow toward the engine and pump the
measured amount of oil into it. When the container is empty
immediately turn off the pump. Close the system security valve
and always check the oil level with the engine's dipstick to ensure
the oil level is correct.
INSTALLATION
The Oil Change Pump may be oriented in any position. However,
if mounted to a vertical surface, it should be oriented with the
pump's motor above the pump head. This will ensure that, should
the seal ever develop a leak, oil from the pump head will not drip
onto the motor. The Oil Change Pump should be located where
the length of hose to the engine can be kept as short and straight
as possible. The pump is self-priming and may be positioned up
to 3ft. (0.9m) above the oil source. However, for best operation the
pump should be mounted at a level that is just slightly above the
highest oil level to be changed. Often this is approximately even
with the level of the engine mounts. Secure the pump to a solid
mounting surface at the four base attachment points. It is recom-
mended that heavy duty reinforced type A fuel hose be used to
connect the pump with the engine pan. The hose assembly should
be made with permanent type end connector fittings similar to
hose assemblies for onboard natural or propane gas systems.
