IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: When adjusting the working height, the pipe cannot be fixed or becomes loose, causing waste oil spillage. What is the reason?

1. Check the Locking Buckle: After adjusting the height, ensure the buckle is fully engaged in the pipe slot (a "click" sound is heard). If the buckle is not fastened, the pipe is prone to sliding. Re-pull the pipe to the appropriate height and fasten the buckle tightly;
2. Replace Worn Buckles: If the buckle loosens frequently, it may be due to wear of the plastic parts of the buckle (e.g., tooth deformation caused by long-term use). Contact the merchant to purchase a buckle of the same specification, remove the old buckle with a screwdriver and replace it, then test the locking effect after installation;
3. Avoid Over-Range Adjustment: Do not force the height to be adjusted below 27 inches or above 64 inches (beyond the design range), otherwise the buckle cannot be effectively locked, easily causing the pipe to loosen.

Q2: After collecting waste oil, there is residue at the bottom of the oil storage tank that cannot be completely dumped. How to handle this?

1. Adjust the Dumping Angle: When dumping, tilt the equipment 30° towards the drain valve, use gravity to gather residual waste oil at the drain valve, and gently shake the equipment at the same time to promote residual outflow;
2. Clean Tank Bottom Residue: If there is still a small amount of viscous residue (e.g., gear oil), add a small amount of diesel (approx. 50ml) to the oil storage tank, shake the equipment and dump it. Diesel can dissolve residual oil stains, then wipe the tank bottom with a rag;
3. Regular Deep Cleaning: Rinse the oil storage tank with clean water every month (HDPE material is water-resistant), air-dry it before use, and avoid residual oil accumulation affecting the next collection.

Q3: The casters are stuck when pushing or the equipment still slides after locking. How to solve this?

1. Clean Caster Impurities: If pushing is stuck, check if there is iron filings, thread ends, or other debris tangled in the caster gaps. Clean the impurities with tweezers, drop 1-2 drops of lubricating oil (e.g., sewing machine oil) on the caster axle, and push several times to restore smoothness;
2. Adjust the Brake Device: If the equipment slides after locking, loosen the caster brake screw, fine-tune the brake pad towards the wheel body (to increase friction), tighten the screw and test until the equipment has no displacement after locking;
3. Avoid Overloading: Do not let the waste oil in the oil storage tank exceed 8 gallons (30L). Overloading will cause excessive load on the casters, accelerate wear, and affect pushing and locking effects.

Q4: Can YD44-001 be used to collect other liquids (e.g., antifreeze, brake fluid, or water)?

1. Prohibit Collection of Corrosive Liquids: Antifreeze and brake fluid contain components such as ethylene glycol and alcohols, which will corrode HDPE material and silicone sealing rings, leading to equipment leakage and damage;
2. Prohibit Collection of Water or Other Non-Oil Liquids: The equipment is designed to collect oily liquids. Water and other liquids may cause oil-water mixing during subsequent waste oil collection, affecting the recycling value of waste oil, and may cause pipe rust (although aluminium pipes are oil-resistant, they may still rust when in long-term contact with water);
3. Treatment of Special Liquids: If other liquids need to be collected, a dedicated collection device of corresponding material (e.g., corrosion-resistant plastic collection bucket) should be selected to avoid equipment damage or safety hazards caused by misuse.
