PUMP COMPONENTS
OPERATING MANUAL
1.Before using your vacuum pump
In all cases, motors are designed for operating voltages plus or minus 10% of the
normal rating. Single voltage motors are supplied fully connected and ready to
operate.
(1)Check to be sure the voltage and frequency at the outlet match the specica-
tions on the pump motor decal. Check the ON-OFF switch to be sure it is in the OFF
position before you plug the pump into an outlet.Remove and discard the exhaust
cap from the end of the pump’s handle.
(2)The pump is shipped without oil in the reseoir.Before staing the pump, ll
it with oil.Remove the Exhaust Fitting cap and add oil until oil just shows in the
bottom of the sight glass. The approximate oil capacity of the pump is
180~800ml(reference the technical data).
(3)Replace the Exhaust Fitting cap and remove the cap from one of the inlet
pos. Turn the motor switch to ON.When the pump runs smoothly, replace the cap
on the inlet po. This may take from two to 30 seconds depending on the ambient
temperature.After the pump runs for approximately one minute check the sight
glass for proper oil level. The level should be even with the sight glass oil level line.
Add oil if necessa.
Note:When the pump is running, the oil level should be even with the line on
the sight glass. Under lling will result in poor vacuum peormance.Over lling can
result in oil blowing from the exhaust.
2.To shut down your pump after use
To help prolong pump life and promote easy staing. Follow these procedures
for shut down.
(1)Close the manifold valve between the pump and the system.
(2)Remove the hose from the pump inlet.
(3)Cap the inlet po to prevent any contamination or loose paicles from entering
the po.
