9. Observe the vacuum gauge.
The system pressure should remain below
2000 microns for 5 minutes.
If the pressure does not hold check for leaks
(if a leak is suspected) or continue evacuation
(if system is not dry).
10. Restart the pump, open the Evacuation Station
valve nearest the pump (V1) and repeat steps
6, 8, and 9 as required until system pressure
remains below 2000 microns for 5 minutes.
11. When system pressure remains below 2000
microns for 5 minutes, restart the pump, open
the Evacuation Station valve nearest the pump
and back seat the suction service valve while
the evacuation pump is still operating.
Replace the valve cap, re-close the Evacuation
Station valve nearest the pump (V1) and stop
the evacuation pump.
Do not exercise the service valves with the unit in
a deep vacuum unless the evacuation pump is
operating.
