6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
15. Reconnect the hose from the analyzer to the oil vapor trap.
a. Place the clamp around the vacuum pump hose flange and vapor trap.
16. Plug the pump power cord into the power source. Allow the pump to run a few hours (overnight if
possible) to eliminate air and moisture from the fresh oil and to produce efficient vacuum
operations.
REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP EXHAUST FILTER
The equipment shown in this section may differ slightly from yours. However, the process
is the same unless otherwise noted.
The gases used by the analyzer are exhausted by the oil-filled vacuum pump. The filter minimizes the
release of oil vapor and should be replaced when it becomes so saturated with oil that it is ineffective.
Exhaust filters are used to minimize the release of oil vapors. The gases are diluted sub-
stantially upon release from the vacuum pump; however, it may be necessary in some loc-
ations to provide a fume hood for protection from hazardous gases and vapors released into
the work area.
