Operation
1. Turn on (1) the power switch and run the pump for 1 min. then check through (3) oil level window if the current oil level
is between Max. and Min. line.

If under Min. line then make sure to add lubricant (VACU-KLB-500).

Steps for addition of the lubricant: screw off (2) oil filler cap then pour the lubricant into tanker cautiously
and ensure the oil level is not above Max. line. Otherwise, it can spray much oil mist while the pump is in
operation.
2. Check whether the lubricant is clean or not. It should be replaced with new one if it becomes turbid.

Steps for the replacement of the lubricant: Turn on the pump and run it for 30 min. to reduce oil viscosity
→ Turn off the pump → Open (5) oil drain plug and drain the waste oil → Open (4) air inlet → run the
pump for 1-2 min. to clean up the remaining waste oil in the pump → close (5) oil drain plug → Add new
lubricant up to the proper level → Screw on (2) oil filler cap.

Ensure to dispose of the drained oil in compliance with local environmental regulations.
3. Ensure that the whole inlet system is well connected and without leakage then press (1) power on/off to start the pump.
4. Press (1) power on/off to turn off the pump after the operation is finished.

Please make sure to release the pressure before turning off the pump to prevent oil from being sucked
reversely.
Please remove the power plug from the power outlet if not in use promptly to save power.

Basic Troubleshooting

Failure to start:

Check if the input voltage is within + or (-) 10%. The improper input voltage will cause a failure to start.
Oil leakage:

Ensure that the leaking oil is not the residues of oil.

It may need to replace washer or O-ring of the tanker with new ones. If it leaks at (5) oil drain plug then wrap the seal
tape on it.
Insufficient Vacuum:

Check if the lubricant is clean and replace the new lubricant by following "Steps for the replacement of the lubricant"
mentioned above.

Check if the current oil level is within the proper level position. Do not keep the current oil level at a higher position;
as the pump starts to run, the operating temperature can inflate the lubricant and make the oil level higher than
Max. line. Whenever checking the current oil level position through (3) oil level window, always make sure to shut (4)
air inlet and start the pump. If the oil is short, please add it immediately.

Check the whole pipe system to see if all are connected tightly.
