Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the TRANSTECH IV+ Transmission Service System.
By choosing this product, you are acquiring the most technologically advanced method available for auto-
matic transmission service and uid exchange.
The TRANSTECH IV+ System is a self-contained system designed to connect to any automatic transmission
through cooling system lines or vehicle dipstick tube. Once the unit is connected, it can be used to drain the
uid from the vehicle’s transmission for lter replacement and/or to completely exchange the transmission
uid with new uid, without removing the vehicle’s transmission uid pan.
Please study this Operators Manual to become thoroughly familiar with the TRANSTECH IV+ Transmission
Service System.
Thank you for choosing MotorVac.
Sincerely,
The MotorVac Team.

Safety Information and Precautions
DANGER:
1. Vehicle exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless lethal gas.
2. Only run engines in well-ventilated areas and avoid breathing exhaust gases.
3. Extended breathing of exhaust gases will cause serious injury or death.
WARNING:
1. Exhaust gases, moving parts and hot surfaces are present during and after the engine is running.
2. Read and understand the operator’s manual before using the TRANSTECH IV+ service system.
3. When using petroleum products always refer to the MSDS sheets and manufacturer’s instructions for the
proper procedure to handle emergency medical treatment, cleanup, handling, and storage requirements.
4. Improper use of the TRANSTECH IV+ Transmission Service System or exposure to exhaust gases can
cause injury.
5. Spilled transmission uid on an engine can ignite.
6. Avoid exposure to ames, sparks, hot engine parts and other ignition sources.
7. Always keep a fully charged re extinguisher nearby. The extinguisher should have a class B rating and
be suitable for gasoline, chemical, and electrical res.
8. Cleanup any oil spills immediately.
9. Dispose of contaminated cleanup material according to governing environmental laws.
10. Never look directly into the air induction plenum or carburetor throat when the engine is operating.
11. Always verify hose connections to the transmission’s oil cooler lines before starting the vehicle’s engine.
12. Explosion or ame or exposure to ammable liquid and vapors can cause injury.
13. Flammable liquid (transmission uid) can splash out of reservoir when lling or when unit is being moved.
14. Always keep Reservoir Cap secure except when lling reservoir.
15. Explosion or ame can cause injury.
16. Transmission cooling systems may maintain residual pressure in connection lines to and from transmis-
sion and cooler radiator even after the engine has been turned off.
17. Wear safety goggles.
18. Wear chemical resistant gloves when connecting or disconnecting tting and adapters.
19. Chemicals can cause harmful byproducts - do not add any chemicals to TRANSTECH IV+ reservoir tank.
20. Use only approved automatic transmission uid.
21. Do not swallow or ingest any chemicals.
22. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors.
23. Do not store chemicals in or on the machine (other than automatic transmission uid).

Safety Information and Precautions (Cont’d)
Moving engine parts:
1. The engine cooling fan will cycle on and off depending on the coolant temperature and could operate
without the engine running.
2. Wear safety goggles.
3. Always keep objects, clothing, and hands away from the cooling fans and engine parts.
4. Moving engine parts can cause injury.
5. Hot surfaces are present during and after running the engine.
6. Do not contact hot surfaces such as, manifolds, pipes, mufers, catalytic converters, or radiators and
hoses.
Hot surfaces can cause injury:
1. Catalytic converters become extremely hot.
2. Do not park a converter-equipped vehicle over dry grass, leaves, paper, or any other ammable material.
3. Do not touch a catalytic converter until the engine has been off for at least 45 minutes.
4. Catalytic converters can cause burns.
5. Cracked fan blade can become airborne.
6. Examine fan blades for cracks. If found, do not service the vehicle.
7. Flying objects can cause injury.
8. Batteries produce explosive gases and can explode, resulting in injury.
9. Wear safety goggles when working on or near batteries.
10. Use in a well-ventilated area.
11. Keep sparks and ames away from the battery and never lay tools, equipment, or other conductive
objects on the battery.
12. When is connecting to the battery, make sure the unit’s power switch is off. Connect the positive lead of
the unit to the positive lead battery rst; connect the negative lead of the unit to a solid ground point as
far from the battery as possible.
13. Keep battery acid away from skin or eyes. In case of eye contact, ush with clean water for 15 minutes
and get medical attention.

IMPORTANT
Do not perform the transmission service if the vehicle’s engine oil or coolant level is low. If
necessary, add motor oil and/or coolant.
Do not perform service if new transmission uid is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
WARNING
Flammable Liquid can squirt out of pressurized lines when connecting or disconnecting.
Verify that engine and machine are both off before connecting or disconnecting cooler
lines or adapters.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear chemical resistant gloves when connecting or disconnecting ttings and adapters.
Wrap a shop towel around pressure ttings and adapters when disconnecting.
Avoid exposure to ames, sparks, hot engine parts, and other ignition sources.
Explosion or ame or exposure to ammable liquid and vapors can cause injury.

TransTech IV+ Auto-Prime Procedure
(For rst time set-up only)
Set-Up Instructions:
1. Check the output/return hoses, battery connections, and all external components for damage.
2. Fill the CLEAN FLUID tank with approximately 6 quarts (5.7 liters) of new ATF.
3. Connect two compatible adapters to each other, secure tightly. Attach the CLEAN FLUID & INLINE
RETURN hoses together using the connected adapters
4. Place the waste hose into the clean tank ll neck with the ball valve open.
5. Attach the units’ red (+) battery clip to vehicle’s positive battery terminal; connect the black (-) battery clip
to a solid ground point as far from the battery as possible.
6. Check to ensure the unit is in Inline mode (Inline LED is on). Press and hold the START button for 5
seconds until the unit sounds the alarm. The FILL and DRAIN LEDs will ash. Press and hold the
START button again for 5 seconds until the unit sounds the alarm. The DRAIN, FILL and COMPLETE
LEDs will cycle in a clockwise direction while the unit is performing the Auto-Prime procedure. The unit
will pump uid from the clean tank to the waste tank. The unit will then set the waste tank zero level by
pumping uid from the waste tank into the clean tank. When complete, the unit will automatically reset.
7. Return the hoses to their original location.
8. The initial setup is complete.

Transmission Service Procedure
Inline Exchange
Warning: It is not necessary to empty the waste tank before beginning an exchange. If beginning an
exchange with uid in the waste tank ensure that there is less uid in the clean tank than the remaining
capacity of the waste tank. Failure to do so will result in waste tank overowing!
Connection to Vehicle
1. Connect appropriate adapters to vehicle transmission cooler lines.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Observe pressure gauge and toggle ow direction switch between position A and B. Whichever position
has greater pressure is correct. Leave valve in that position for the entire service
