OPERATION

IMPORTANT

DO NOT START PUMP BEFORE ADDING OIL

The following procedures will prevent oil from being drawn

START-UP

Open one intake port and isolation valve,
close gas ballast valve and start pump.
Make vacuum connections.

Crack gas ballast valve for the first part of
the evacuation procedure. After pump
quiets down from initial volume of air,
close valve and continue evacuating.
Failure to close valve will result in poor

use. If system is heavily contaminated, oil
may have to be changed several times
during evacuation.

After initial fill up of oil, it is best to check
oil level with pump running.

SHUT-DOWN

Close isolation valve and open gas
ballast valve all the way. Continue
running pump for 2-3 seconds. With
gas ballast valve still opened, stop pump
and then close valve.

Remove hose connections and cap
intakes.

PUMP MOTOR

Pump and oil must be above 30 °F. Line
voltage must be equal to motor
nameplate ±10%. Normal operating
temperature is approximately 160°F,
which is hot to the touch. Line voltage and
ambient conditions will affect this

CHANGING OIL

To reach deep vacuum, Platinum pumps need

clean, moisture-free oil throughout evacuation.

Care should be taken to avoid contact on skin and clothing when changing oil.
Used oil should be disposed of in a leakproof corrosive-resistant container.

1. After every evacuation while pump is warm and oil is thin, place
pump on level surface and open oil drain. Oil can be forced from
the pump by opening one intake and partially blocking the
exhaust with a cloth while the pump is running. Do not operate
the pump for more than 20 seconds using this method.

2. Close drain. Remove oil fill cap and fill to top of OIL LEVEL line
