Testing flow rate after adjustment
1. Observe oil drip rate in oil view meter or oil line to
ensure adequate lubrication.
2. Adjustments should be done gradually so as not to
starve the vacuum pump of oil.
Recommended lubrication
We recommend that turbine grade oil be used in all our pumps. Turbine oil is
more highly refined than motor oil and is much less likely to create carbon.
Turbine oil is available from your local oil distributor. Below is a list of accept-
able oils.
• Penzoil Penzabell 68 T.O.
• Shell Turbo 68
• Mobil D.T.E. Heavy – Medium
• Texaco Regal R.N.O. 68
Normal operation for air cooled pumps:
1. Check oil reservoir daily and fill as required.
2. When pump is in operation check oiler to insure flow
of oil to pump.
3. Do not operate pump faster than recommended RPM.
4. To operate suction valve on top of pump, move
handle in the appropriate direction for either vacuum
or pressure; center it for neutral.
5. We recommend checking vane wear every twelve
months. A new vane is nearly flush with the rotor.
Measure the wear and if is over 1/4" we recommend
replacing vanes. It’s good to always keep a spare set
of vanes on hand for emergencies.
