CARING FOR YOUR PUMP
In order to make the best use of your investment, familiarize yourself with the new features and operation instructions
before starting the pump. With routine care the Platinum
®
pump will provide years of reliable service by following proper
maintenance guidelines. Platinum
®
pumps are designed for deep vacuum work in refrigeration systems and
air conditioning only.
OIL – PUMP OIL ACTS SIMULTANEOUSLY AS A COOLANT, LUBRICANT & SEALANT
IMPORTANT: Use oil specically rened for deep vacuum pumps. Using oil
not rened for deep vacuum pumps and/or operation with contaminated oil will
void warranty.
Slowly add oil until oil level rises to the top of the OIL LEVEL line (see Diagram A).
Replace oil ll plug.
If oil is too low, you will hear air out of the exhaust. If the oil level is too high, excess oil
will be blown out the exhaust. Pump oil should be changed after each use. If the system
is heavily contaminated, oil may have to be changed several times during evacuation.
After lling the pump with oil, it is best to check the oil level while the pump is running.
AFTER EVACUATION, OIL CONTAINS RUST FORMING WATER AND CORROSIVE ACIDS.
DRAIN IMMEDIATELY WHILE PUMP IS WARM.
CHANGING OIL
To reach deep vacuum, Platinum
®
pumps need clean, moisture-free oil throughout
evacuation. Care should be taken to avoid contact on skin and clothing when
changing oil. A convenient way to disposed of oil is using the DV-T1 TANK oil
caddy after every evacuation while the pump is warm and the oil is thin.
1 Place the Tank on a level surface. Unscrew black plug
counterclockwise in the drain base to open.
2 Place vacuum pump in the cradle and drain pump.
3 Once the pump has nished draining, turn the black cap
clockwise to close after every use (the Tank can hold up
to 5 oil changes).
4 Close drain on pump. Remove oil ll cap and ll to top of
OIL LEVEL line with BLACK GOLD Pump Oil. Replace oil ll cap.
FLUSHING
ALWAYS DRAIN PUMP BEFORE FLUSHING!
If the oil is badly contaminated, ushing may be necessary.
Slowly pour 1/3-1/2 cup of BLACK GOLD Pump Oil into the intake connection while
pump is running. Repeat as required until contamination is removed from oil reservoir,
pump rotors, vanes and housing.
Dispose of all oil used in ushing of pump.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT START PUMP BEFORE ADDING OIL
OPERATION
The following procedures will prevent oil from being drawn into the pump cartridge and creating hard start-up.
START-UP:
Open one intake port and isolation valve, close gas ballast
valve and start pump. Make vacuum connections.
Crack gas ballast valve for the rst part of the evacuation
procedure. After pump quiets down from initial volume of air,
close valve and continue evacuating. Failure to close valve
will result in poor pump performance.

SHUT-DOWN:
Close isolation valve and open gas ballast valve all
the way. Continue running pump for 2-3 seconds. With
gas ballast valve still opened, stop pump and then
close valve.
Remove hose connections and cap intakes.
