2. To prevent rust from building up inside the
vacuum pump (if moisture exists) we have
provided a lubrication cup on the front of the unit.
First run the unit at least 1 minute to remove any
moisture from the vacuum pump. Next, fill the
lubrication cup with WD-40, or a similar lubricant,
for 5 seconds while the unit is running and the
vacuum inlets are sealed. Do this at the end of
each working day.
3. Drain, flush and replace oil every 1500 hours or
yearly, whichever comes first. Change oil more
frequently if inspection so indicates. With AEON
PD synthetic lubricant, perform the oil change
maintenance every 4500 hours or every 2
years, whichever comes first.

4. The bearings on the pulley end of the vacuum
pump requires grease lubrication every 500
hours. Pack the bearings until grease comes out
of the vent holes. Use high temperature lithium
complex grease of the specification NLGI
Grade 2.
WATER PUMP
Refer to the Water Pump Operation and Service
Manual for specific instructions.
1. Check the crankcase oil level daily to assure the
proper level. Use Figure 20 as a guide when
checking the oil level. If the level has dropped,
check for the source of leakage and repair.
2. Change the crankcase oil with Cat Pump
Crankcase Oil, Part #05-008016, after the first
50 hours of operation. Drain and refill the
crankcase oil with Cat Pump Crankcase Oil
every 500 hours thereafter.
3. Other Cat approved oil equivalents are: Mobil
DTE 16, Amoco Rykow 68, and Shell Tellus T68.
VACUUM INLET FILTER
(IN WASTE TANK)
1. The vacuum filter in the waste tank should be
removed and cleaned daily. If this is done, the
filter will last for a long period of time.
2. Inspect the vacuum inlet filter inside the waste
tank. If there is any lint or debris, remove and
clean filter. Re-install the filter hand-tight.
When removing the vacuum inlet filter, grip the
plastic hexagonal section of filter. Grasping filter
by the screen may collapse or ruin the filter.
NOTE: When replacing this filter, we recommend
using a stainless steel PROCHEM filter (#14-
806518 for PERFORMER. The PERFORMER 405
requires two filters, #14-806509) only.
