We recommend an ISO 150 turbine oil for optimum vacuum pump performance. You may also any type oil you prefer, as long as you monitor your operating temperatures and keep your pump within the proper operating range.

It depends on the model of vacuum pump you have but typically will use 8-10 ounces per hour of usage.

Clean the filter weekly.

Typically diesel fuel, but can be any cleaning liquid that has a lubricating property. Flushing fluid should not be stored in the flushing fluid tank. Only fill it with the fluid required to flush at the time for flushing.

Inspect the vanes every year. A vane is worn to the point of replacement when it is 1/4” below the rotor surface.

Properly set vacuum and pressure relief valves and run the vacuum pump at the correct RPM.

WEEKLY:

1. Ensure vacuum pump is clean – wash mud and dirt off

2. Ensure vacuum hoses are not leaking, kinked or collapsed

3. Make sure the oil lines on the vacuum pump are not leaking

4. Make sure the oil pump is working on the vacuum pump

            -Always mark the level of oil in reservoir. Run the pump and ensure level decreases

5. Inspect the condition of the drive coupler

6. Diesel flush the vacuum pump

7. Inspect and clean the inlet filter on the vacuum pump

8. Make sure the vacuum and pressure reliefs are set not to exceed manufacturers specifications

9. Inspect the drive line and grease if necessary

MONTHLY:

10. Oil level in the 3-shaft gearbox is correct – oil level should be to center of the shaft

11. Inspect and clean the primary and secondary shut-offs

12. Inspect the condition of the rubber seat, SS ball, ball cage, and gasket in the primary and

       secondary shut-offs

YEARLY:

13. Repeat monthly checklist

14. Inspect vacuum pump for vane wear

15. Remove the pump end-plate and inspect vane and cylinder wear

16. Drain oil reservoir and clean

17. Drain and refill the 3-shaft gearbox with 90 weight gear oil

18. Notify maintenance or refer to maintenance guides(s) for any operation changes in your vacuum

       pump or system performance

Yes, you will need to inspect and keep the stainless steel filter clean in the bottom of the remote oil tank.

A vacuum pump repair kit comes with the seals, gaskets and vanes for the vacuum pump. You can order the repair kit with and without bearings.

80W-90 gear oil.

ISO 220 synthetic gear lube.

Once a day minimum.

After each load or once a day minimum.

Yes! The great thing about NVE valves is that they are completely re-buildable! You can buy replacement o-rings or all the internal parts.

There are a couple things to look at:

• If there is fluid in the line from the pump to the gauge, vacuum can be trapped in the gauge. Please check that line.

• The gauge panel is designed to pop out and lay flat while gauges remain installed. There is a vent on the back of the vac gauge which can be used to reset or calibrate the gauge. 

ISO 220 synthetic – Example SUMMIT SYNGEAR SH-7220 or equivalent

Yes the housing can be machined or bored to .060” over the original ID of the housing.

• 607 original ID of housing is 7.875”   – Max ID is 7.935”

• 866 original ID of housing is 10.00”  – Max ID is 10.060”

If the housing is lightly scared you can hone it out with a cylinder hone tool or use a dingle ball or flex hone tool.
