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.
