Pump Instructions
Oil Analysis Pump (G-1206)
Sample Method 1 – Sample Tube
- Turn off engine and remove dipstick.
- Cut a length of sample tube at a 45 degree angle and approximately twice as long as the dipstick.
- Attach the sample bottle to the pump.
- Measure existing dipstick and mark the measurement length for visual reference on the bottom section of sample tube. This should ensure the sample tube is not inserted deeper than the center of the reservoir.
- Insert bottom end of the sample tube into the engine reservoir through the dipstick tube.
- Insert the opposite end of the sample tube into the oil analysis pump until it reaches approximately ½ inch below the top of the sample bottle.
- Tighten the pump fitting onto the sample tube.
- With sample bottle in the upright position, pump the handle to draw an oil sample into the bottle. Care should be taken NOT to overfill the sample bottle.
- Remove the sample bottle when full. Seal and label the filled bottle.
- Remove the hose from the engine and pump.
- Replace dipstick.
Sample Method 2 – Probe Needle
- Install a mini-gauge plug (such as the Baldwin Filters Probalyzer) onto any pressurized port in the lubrication system as per manufacturer instructions.
- Attach the sample bottle to the pump.
- Remove dust cap from the probe needle and plug.
- Insert probe needle into mini-gauge plug.
- With sample bottle in the upright position, pump handle to draw an oil sample into the bottle. Care should be taken NOT to overfill the sample bottle.
- Remove the sample bottle when full. Seal and label the filled bottle.
- Remove probe needle from the mini-gauge plug, clean surfaces well and replace the dust caps.
WARNINGS:- Be extremely careful of hot surfaces around the engine compartment.
- Use sample tube only ONCE, and properly discard after each sample.
- Do not overfill sample bottle.
- Thoroughly clean the pump, probe needle and mini-gauge plug surface after each use.
