- Conexión de alimentación: Connect the power cord to the designated port on the side of the vacuum pump. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
- Conexión da mangueira: The VP87 features four inline ports for hose management: 1/4", 1/2", and two 3/8" ports. Connect your vacuum hoses to the appropriate ports on the pump and to the system being evacuated. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
Instrucións de funcionamento
- Encendido: Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The pump will begin operation.
- Válvula de lastre de gas: For initial pull-down, it is recommended to open the gas ballast valve (located on the side of the unit) to help remove moisture and speed up the process. Once the vacuum reaches approximately 3000 microns, close the gas ballast valve for a deeper vacuum.
- Monitorización do baleiro: Use a micron gauge (not included) to monitor the vacuum level of the system. Continue operation until the desired vacuum level is achieved.
- RunQuick Oil Change System: This system allows for oil changes without shutting down the pump or losing vacuum.
- To drain old oil: While the pump is running, open the valve on the left oil reservoir. The old oil will drain into the empty container.
- To add new oil: Close the drain valve. Remove the black cap on top of the unit and pour new Fieldpiece vacuum pump oil into the reservoir until the level is between the MIN and MAX lines in the sight glass.
- Porto de escape: A garden hose can be connected to the exhaust port on the side of the unit to direct exhaust away from the work area.
