This robust unit simplifies the collection and transfer of waste motor oil, transmission fluid, and coolant, helping maintain a cleaner and more organized workspace. With its substantial 24-gallon capacity and intelligent design, the AFF 8890 ensures that routine fluid changes are handled with greater ease and safety. The unit's construction, featuring a heavy-duty steel tank and high-quality components, supports consistent performance for demanding shop use. Its mobility, combined with a versatile drainage system, makes it adaptable to various vehicle types and service bay configurations, enhancing overall operational efficiency. The integrated pressurized evacuation system sets this unit apart, offering a controlled and mess-free method for transferring collected waste into larger storage containers, eliminating the manual effort often associated with fluid disposal.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Generous Fluid Capacity: The large 24-gallon steel recovery tank minimizes the frequency of emptying, allowing for more fluid changes before transfer is needed, improving workflow.
• Efficient Pressurized Evacuation: Features a built-in pressure regulator that enables quick and clean transfer of collected fluids into external storage containers using air pressure, reducing manual labor and potential spills.
• Adjustable Drainage System: The drain tube extends from 54 inches to 79 inches, accommodating a wide range of vehicle heights from low-profile cars to taller trucks and SUVs.
• Versatile Funnel Options: Includes both a standard 15-3/4 inch drain funnel and a wide 24-inch funnel adapter, providing expanded coverage for various draining applications and preventing spills.
• Enhanced Mobility: Equipped with heavy-duty wheels and casters, allowing for smooth and easy positioning around the workshop, even when the tank is full.
• Fluid Level Monitoring: A tank-mounted oil-level sight gauge provides clear visibility of collected fluid levels, helping technicians know when the tank needs emptying.
• Integrated Tool Storage: A convenient tool tray keeps essential parts, drain plugs, and small tools organized and within immediate reach during service.

HOW TO USE:

1. Position the Drain: Roll the AFF 8890 unit to the desired location under the vehicle from which fluid will be drained.
2. Adjust Height: Loosen the locking mechanism on the drain tube and adjust its height to align with the vehicle's drain plug. Secure the tube by tightening the mechanism.
3. Place Funnel: Ensure the appropriate funnel (either the standard 15-3/4" or the 24" adapter) is securely in place to catch the draining fluid.
4. Drain Fluid: Remove the vehicle's drain plug and allow the used fluid to flow into the collection tank. Monitor the fluid level using the tank-mounted sight gauge.
5. Secure After Draining: Once draining is complete, replace the vehicle's drain plug and ensure no more fluid is dripping.
6. Connect Air Supply (for Evacuation): When the tank needs to be emptied, connect an air line to the unit's pressure input.
7. Evacuate Fluid: Adjust the pressure regulator to control the flow, then open the valve on the 6-foot drain hose. Direct the hose into a larger, designated waste fluid storage container. The air pressure will push the collected fluid out of the tank.
8. Disconnect Air & Store: Once the tank is empty, close the evacuation valve, disconnect the air supply, and roll the unit to its storage location.
