OPERATION Initial Preparation 1. If the vacuum pump is equipped with a dual voltage motor, make sure the voltage selector switch is set for the desired voltage operation. 2. The vacuum pump is shipped without oil in the reservoir. Remove the exhaust/oil fill cap and add oil until it is seen in the middle of the oil sight glass. Re-secure cap. 3. Remove the 1/4" inlet service port cap, turn on the vacuum pump. After 15 seconds, replace 1/4 cap back on inlet port. 4. Re-check vacuum pump oil level.
OPERATION 5. Connect vacuum pump as shown in Figure - 1. 6. Open manifold valves. 7. Turn vacuum pump power switch “ON”. 8. Run vacuum pump until final vacuum level is met. 9. Once the final vacuum level is reached, close manifold valves, turn power switch “OFF”. VACUUM OPERATION COMPLETE Routine Maintenance It is recommended to change the vacuum pump oil after 50 hours of usage. The purity of the oil will determine the final vacuum level achieved.
