Robinair High Performance Vacuum Pumps
Congratulations on purchasing one of Robinair’s top quality vacuum
pumps. Your pump has been engineered specically for air conditioning
and refrigeration service, and is built with Robinair’s proven offset rotary
vane for fast, thorough evacuation. You’ll appreciate these key features...
Iso-ValveTM Allows the pump to be shut off while still connected to the A/C-R
system, which is handy for checking rate of rise. With the valve handle
in the OPEN position, the pump is open to the system being evacuated.
In the CLOSED position, the pump is isolated from the system. This
minimizes pump oil pulled into the pumping module, making start-up
easier and reducing wear and tear on the pump components.
The two-stage, offset, rotary vane design provides powerful, quiet,

Components
Wear safety goggles when working with refrigerants. Contact with
refrigerants may cause eye injury.
Incorrect use or electrical connections may cause electrical shock.
Read and follow instructions carefully, and take precautions to avoid
electrical shock hazards. All associated devices must be correctly
grounded before energizing circuits.
The normal operating temperature will cause certain external
portions of the pump to be hot to the touch. Do not touch the pump
housing or motor during operation.
