WARNING: TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO SECURE THE
VEHICLE WHEN CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVELS OR PERFORMING SERVICES!!
2.
NEVER put anything but automatic transmission fluid in the NEW tank of the ATF1.
If transmission Flush Additive is to be used, it should be added and circulated in the
transmission prior to exchange or drain pan functions being performed.
3.
Always use the proper type of automatic transmission fluid for the vehicle being
serviced. Refer to the vehicle’s Service Manual or dipstick for information on the type
of fluid to be used.
NOTE: Refer to the EMPTY NEW tank procedures on page 13for information on
how to change fluid types in the unit.
4.
The ATF1is designed to operate on regulated 12V DC power ONLY from either the
vehicle’s battery or the unit’s on-board battery. Use of battery chargers and other
power sources are not recommended.
5.
Pull on all of the connections after being made in order to verify that the connections
are complete and secure.
6.
Only use fingertips to depress control panel buttons. Sharp, or pointed metal objects
will ultimately destroy the control panel.
7.
Always keep the ATF1unit in the upright position and as level as possible during
operation. Inverting or lying the unit down will allow fluids to escape the internal
tanks. Operating the unit on a level surface will insure precise operation.
8.
Some transmission pumps do not create enough flow or pressure at idle to properly, or
efficiently, perform the COOLER LINE transmission services. Examples are Ford
Explorers and Dodge Caravans. Accelerating the vehicles engine above idle will
remedy this problem.
9.
Turn the ATF1Main Power switch OFF when not in use to conserve power and
prevent accidental start up.
10.
Always connect power cables ofATF1 to 12V DC battery of vehicle to be serviced.
Although the fully-charged on-board battery will power the ATF1exchanger, the
primary purpose of the on-board power is for the resume-refill procedure, drain used
tank procedure, and emergency power back-up to avoid service interruptions. The
power leads should always be connected to the vehicle’s 12V DC battery during each
service to keep on board battery fully charged and ready for intended purposes.
11.
NEVER overfill the NEW fluid tank over 31.5 quarts. The ATF1will lock out all
keypad functions except EMPTY NEW and display “too FUL” when it detects 32.0
quarts in
