A blade (61) in seal member (56) engages a drain valve while indicia (80, 83) on sleeve (67) indicates egree of angular rotation for tube (55) as against sleeve (67) to show the valve is opened or closed. Linkage mechanism (10) is adjustable in terms of its position on stand assembly (15). Also, the effort arm (36) of mechanism (10) can be locked in place by a clamping screw (52)-and-rod (53) arrangement mounted below the pivot point on the stand (15) for effort arm (36), to maintain seal member (56) in its elevated position against the tank's drain outlet.
