Robinair High Performance Vacuum Pumps

	Congratulations on purchasing one of Robinair’s top quality vacuum
	pumps. Your pump has been engineered specifically 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.
High	The two-stage, offset, rotary vane design provides powerful, quiet,
Vacuum	high vacuum capability and ensures moisture removal, while the high
Rating	pumping capacity reduces evacuation time.
Lifetime	The intake filter prevents foreign matter from entering the pumping
Filtration	chamber, and an internal exhaust filter separates oil vapor from the
	exhaust flow.
Directed	Exhaust is expelled through the handle to direct it away from the service
Exhaust	technician.
Gas	A precise amount of atmospheric air is introduced into the pump,
Ballast	preventing condensation of moisture vapor and helping maintain the
	purity of the pump oil. By using the gas ballast, the pump operates more
	efficiently and pump life is extended.
Sure-Grip	The one-piece, molded handle makes it easy to carry the pump to and
Handle	from job sites, and the handle stays cool to the touch during operation.
Compact	The pump measures just 151/2" long, while aluminum housing and offset
Design	rotary vanes keep the pump weight low, making it easy to carry.

For use on A/C-R systems using CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs in conjunction with mineral oil, ester oil, alkylbenzene oil, and PAG oil as lubricants. Not for use with ammonia or lithium bromide systems. Not for use with flammable refrigerants.

WARNING!

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.

Normal operating temperatures will cause certain external portions of the pump to be hot to the touch. Do not touch the pump housing or motor during operation.
