Before Operating - Super Ego SEGO VAC 1.5 R32 Manual Del Usuario

1. Operating Manual

Before operating

All motors are designed for operating voltages plus or minus 10% of the normal rating.
a. Check the voltage and frequency at the outlet and ensure it matches the specifications on the pump
motor metal plate. Ensure that the ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position before connecting the pump
to a power source. Remove and discard the exhaust plug from the exhaust fitting.
b. Fill the oil reservoir with oil before activate the pump. Remove the Oil Fill cap and add oil until oil show
at the bottom of the sight glass. Refer to technical data in manual for the correct oil capacity of pump.
c. Place back the Oil Fill cap and remove the cap from the inlet fitting. Turn the motor switch to ON
position. Place back the cap on the inlet fitting when the pump runs smoothly. This may takes 2 to
30 seconds depends on the ambient temperature. After the pump operates for approximately one
minute, check the sight glass for proper oil level, which should be aligned with the sight glass Oil
Level line. Refill oil if necessary.
Note:
The oil level should be aligned with the indicating line on the sight glass when the pump is running.
Insufficient oil filled will result in poor vacuum performance. Excessive of oil can result in overflowing of
oil from the exhaust fitting.
To shut off pump after use
To prolong pump life span and smooth start-up, these procedures to shut off pump should be followed.
a. Turn off the manifold valve between the pump and the system.
b. Remove the hose from the pump inlet.
c. Cover the inlet port openings to prevent any contamination or foreign particles from entering the port.
2. Maintenance
Vacuum pump oil:
The c condition and type of oil used in any high performance vacuum pump are extremely important in determining
the ultimate attainable vacuum . It is recommended to use the High Performance Vacuum Pump Oil, which is
specifically blended to maintain maximum viscosity at normal running temperatures and to improve cold weather
start up.
Oil change procedure:
a. Ensure the pump is warmed up.
b. Remove the Oil Drain cap. Drain off contaminated oil into a container and dispose it properly. Oil can
be removed from the pump by opening the inlet and partially blocking the exhaust with a cloth while
the pump is running. Do not operate the pump for more than 20 seconds using this method.
c. When the drainage of oil completed, tilt the pump forward to remove the residual oil.
d. Place back the Oil Drain cap. Remove the Oil Fill cap and fill the oil reservoir with new vacuum pump
oil until oil level is seen at the bottom of the sight glass .
e. Ensure that the inlet ports are covered before turn on the pump. Allow it to run for one minute to
check the oil level. If the oil level is below the sight glass Oil Level line , fill oil slowly (with the pump
running) until the oil reaches the sight glass Oil Level line. Place back the Oil Fill cap , ensure the inlet
is covered and the oil drain cap is closed tightly.
f. 1) If the oil is badly contaminated with sludge that forms during operation, you may need to
remove the oil reservoir cover and wipe it.
2) The alternative method to deal with heavily contaminated oil is to force the oil from
the pump reservoir. Leave the pump to run until it is warmed up. While the pump is still
running, remove the oil drain cap and restrict the exhaust slightly. This will back-pressure the
oil reservoir and purge the oil with contaminants . Turn off the pump when oil stop flowing.
3) Repeat this procedure as required until the contaminants is removed completely.
