HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE AND

LONG LIFE FROM SAS PUMPS

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This pump is only to be used for the purpose of pumping air and under NO circumstances be
used with any other gases. The pump must not be used for the pumping of fluids, particles,
solids or any substance mixed with air, particularly combustible substances likely to cause
explosions. Your rotary pump is a precision product with a clearance of Top . 0015” End .0015”
for model 0523 (1/4 HP & 1/3HP) and Top .003” End .002” for models 0823 and 1023 (1/2HP
and 3/4HP). Foreign particles or excessive dirt and/or dust could cause eventual “jamming” of
the pump. The unit is built of steel and cast iron and is designed for pumping dry air.
Consequently, any moisture (especially when pump stands idle) will tend to corrode interior. The
Carbon Vanes life is between 5,000 - 15,000 hours depending upon application.

NEVER lubricate this oil-less rotary vane pump. The sealed bearing are grease-packed. The
service life of the carbon vanes will be reduced by petroleum or hydrocarbon products. Precision
ground vanes take up their own wear and will last thousands of hours depending upon speed
and degree of pressure. Excessive dirt, foreign particles, or moisture could cause the vanes to
stick in the rotor slots and even break.. Periodic “Flushing” could prevent this see page 10.

PRODUCT USE CRITERIA:

Pump only clean, dry air and operate at 32°F - 104°F (0° C - 40°C). Protect unit from dirt and
moisture. Do not pump flamable or explsive gases or use in an atmosphere that contains such
gases.

INSTALLATION:

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:

Disconnect electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing this product. Install
this product where it will not come into contact with water or other liquids. Install this product
where it will be weather protected. Electrically ground this product. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION: Blocking air flow around the product in any way can cause the product to over heat
and shut off.

MOUNTING:

This product may be installed in any orientation. Mounting the product to a stable, rigid operating
surface and using shock mounts will reduce noise and vibration.

INSPECTION:

Regular inspection, cleaning filters, and "flushing" (see page 10) may prevent extensive repairs.
Dirty or clogged intake filter felt can be responsible for failure of the pump to build up pressure
and eventual pump overheating. Replace exhaust filter element every 90 to 100 running hours.
Do not be alarmed if temperature of exhaust air reaches 225°F when running continuously. If
there is evidence of overheating or excessive noise, stop immediately for repairs. Keep external
surfaces clean for proper heat dissipation. Most failures to build up pressure are due to leaks in
connecting lines, damaged filter jar threads, collapsed air lines, dirty filtering elements or sluggish
vanes in the pump. The latter is generally caused from the pump being operated above its
recommended duty and getting too hot.

8

START UP:

If the motor fails to start or slows down significantly under load, shut off and disconnect from
power supply. Check that the voltage is correct for motor and the motor is turning in the proper
direction. Vane life will be drastically reduced if motor is not operating properly. Vanes can
break or be damaged it motor/pump runs in the wrong direction. Motors are equipped with
thermal protector that turns current of automatically when to mechanical or electrical overloads.
Also check the wiring instructions on motor case or on thermal plate cover.

LUBRICATION:

CAUTION: NEVER LUBRICATE DRY "OIL-LESS" AIR PUMPS. The carbon vanes and
grease packed bearing s require NO oil.

FLUSHING:

Flushing this product to remove excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture or oil that occurs in the
operating environment will help to maintain proper vane performance. Most pump troubles can
be corrected by flushing solvent rather than by taking apart. A noisy or inefficient pump is
frequently nothing more serious than vanes stuck in a rotor slot due to foreign material (dust)
and / or dirty filters.

CAUTION -- Recommended commercial solvents for SAS pumps are Loctite Safety Solvent,
Inhibisol Safety Solvent, and Dow Chemical Chlorothane. In the event one of the above are not
available, use any NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-TOXIC, NON-PETROLEUM BASE, INDUSTRIAL
CLEANING SOLVENT. (SAS PUMP FLUSHING LIQUID --- P/N 9700-11).

FLUSHING PROCEDURES:

Remove Intake Filter Assembly and Exhaust Port Assembly. Flushing should be done while the
unit is running and in a well ventilated area. Then while wearing proper protection have a clean
cloth over the exhaust port marked "OUT". Spray or pour a small amount of flushing solution in
the intake port marked "IN". Continue flushing until solution coming out exhaust port appears to
be clear. After all solvent has passed through the pump continue to let the pump run while
unseen solution can dissipate into the air, then re-attach the Intake Filter Assembly to the port
marked “IN” and Exhaust Port Assembly to the port marked “OUT”. Frequent flushing is
recommended to help maintain proper vane performance.

FILTER ELEMENTS:

Replace Intake and Exhaust Filter every 90 to 100 running hours.

DISASSEMBLY:

If foreign matter has entered pump, try flushing. If this does not eliminate the foreign matter,
unplug pump, remove only the dead end plate and the four vanes (DO NOT at any time remove
the rotor). Wash vanes, end plate, and pump chamber with solvent (see above for correct type of
solvents to be used). Dry and reassemble.

DANGER: TO PREVENT EXPLOSIVE HAZARD, DO NOT PUMP COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS

OR VAPORS WITH ANY SAS UNIT.

FOR MAXIMUM PUMP LIFE USE MINIMUM PRESSURE NEEDED TO DO THE JOB.
