Every Load:
Drain the scrubber after each tank load. If nothing drains when the ball valve is opened never
assume it is empty, check for a blockage in the valve.
Check the oil level in the oil reservoir, and fill as required.
Monitor vacuum/pressure and temperature gauges to detect any irregularities or problems.
Daily:
Add oil approximately every 10 hours of operation or when the oil reservoir shows the level is
low. Only use approved lubricants.
Drain the oil separator twice daily or every time switching the Vacuum Pump from vacuum to
pressure mode. A brass ball valve is mounted at the bottom for easy draining.
Weekly:
Flush the pump weekly with Masport Flushing Fluid, or anytime liquids or solids have been
allowed to enter the pump.
Check and clean the Inlet Filter. Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting. This checking
process must be done anytime contamination may have entered the system.
Check to ensure the pump RPM is within the recommended range. Running the pump too fast
or too slow may cause damage.
Wash any dirt off the pump as it needs to be clean to allow heat to radiate and prevent it from
overheating.
Annually:
Check bolt mountings, drive coupling alignment and condition, and vane wear.
Storage:
If the pump is to be sitting for an extended period of time it needs to be flushed prior to storage.
After flushing, pour oil into all bearing lubrication ports to protect the bearing surfaces and oil
injection points on the pump to eliminate rust formation on the rotor and cylinder.
Rotate by hand monthly to distribute oil.
For Safe Operation:
Never use the pump to move flammable or highly caustic material.
Do not open any ball valve on any components when the tank is under vacuum, as this will
cause foreign material to enter the pump.
Do not over speed or under speed the pump as either will cause overheating.
Do not engage power take off at high RPM. Only engage at idle.
Always disengage the pump when driving to or between job sites.
Do not reuse the oil drained from the oil separator. Take it to an appropriate recycling site.
Never run the pump without oil.
