F Replace damaged seals or o-rings
Step 1: With isolation valve closed, start pump Oil level should be to the top
of the oil level line embossed on the front of the pump's cover Just a
teaspoon low can affect the ultimate vacuum
Step 2: Flush pump and refill with fresh oil See Cleaning and Testing Pump
on page 4 for review
Step 3: Check all connections to pump and system for damaged or missing
o-rings If brass adapters are being used, make sure copper gaskets
are in place
Replace shaft seal
A. Step 1: Disconnect pump from system
Step 2: Wait approximately 15 minutes for motor to cool
Step 3: Turn pump on
Step 4: If it cycles off again, return for repair
Step 1: Remove 1/4" cap
Step 2: Turn pump on
Step 1: Set pump on bench with motor standing up
Step 2: Loosen the four motor bolts
Step 3: Shake motor and re-tighten motor bolts
Step 4: Start pump
If this doesn't work, the pump most likely will need to be sent in for repair
Step 2: Look between motor and pump housing from the bottom to see if the
flexible part of the coupler is split or broken If it is broken, see Flexible
Coupler section of this booklet If the coupler is not broken, the coupler
may be spinning on either the shaft to motor or cartridge
Step 3: Go to product support at www jbind com for cartridge replacement
