NOTE
Some transmission pumps may have a flow rate so low that the ATX will briefly pause (or
even stop) during the exchange process. A series of two long beeps will indicate this
condition. Accelerating the engine will usually overcome this situation and decrease the
overall time required for the exchange process.
COOLER MODE

The change of fluid can be monitored through the ATX-3 Old-New Sight Bowls. These bowls
display the new bright red fluid leaving the ATX-3 and the dirty brown to black fluid coming from
the vehicle transmission system. The color of the used should become almost equal to the new
as the exchange ends. The liquid levels can be viewed through the Level Indicators on either side
of the ATX-3 (left side for used, right side for new).
