Is your oil drainer failing? Do you know what caused it?
We know how frustrating it can be when your components fail, especially if you’re unsure what went wrong.
In this post, we’re going through what can lead to oil drainer failure and what you can do to help prevent it.
| Oil Drainer Faulty diagnosis and solution | |||
| NO | Symptom of failure | possible causes of the problem | precaution and solution |
| 1 | damage/cracks of cylinder | extraction of gasoline, brake fluid oil, corrosive liquid, and additive oil | extraction of gasoline, brake fluid oil, corrosive liquid, and additive oil is strictly prohibited. |
| Use of tools to fix or lose the cylinder | Use of the tool is not allowed to fix or lose the cylinder, refer to the Disassembly and replacement of Cylinder manual and videos. | ||
| over high oil temperature (normal oil temperature 40-50 ℃) | prohibited for oil extraction over 60℃ | ||
| being collided | handle with care | ||
| 2 | cylinder explosion | without turning off the drain valves between the cylinder and tank before the oil draining | turn off the drain valve, refer to (How to avoid cylinder explosion) for instruction |
| 3 | cylinder oil leakage | compressed air was not clean, containers of water, dirt, etc | filter and compress air before use |
| the oil within the cylinder exceeds the oil Warning line, oil is sucked through the vacuum tube back to the vacuum generator | follow the operation manual carefully, oil within the cylinder can not exceed its warning line | ||
| 4 | oil leakage between the tank and lifting pole connection | loose of connector | wrap the connector with tape or sealant |
| 5 | The vacuum gauge not working | needle not ticking,loose of needle | remove the gauge cup, tighten the needle in place |
| gauge plate moves upward | remove the gauge cup, press it down to place | ||
| 6 | cylinder couldn’t start the vacuum extraction | air supply pressure is not enough | adjust air pressure between 6-9Bar/87-130Psi |
| displace or damage of sealing ring between the cylinder and cylinder base | check and replace a new sealing ring | ||
| cylinder draining valve is not fully turned off or the draining valve is damaged | Turn the valve OFF, and start the vacuum to proceed leak test, if there is no oil leakage means the valve is good. If not then please replace a new valve | ||
