Setup

Before initial operation, ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Oil Filling: Locate the wide mouth oil reservoir port. Fill the pump with appropriate vacuum pump oil until the level is visible in the large oil sight glass, reaching the recommended fill line. The wide mouth design facilitates easier and cleaner filling.
2. Exhaust Connection: The wide mouth oil reservoir port also doubles as the pump exhaust. For remote exhausting, a standard garden hose can be threaded onto this port.
3. Intake Protection: Verify that the intake filter screen is properly installed. This screen is crucial for preventing damaging particles from entering the pump, ensuring longevity and performance.
4. Power Connection: Connect the pump to a 115V, 60 Hz power supply. Ensure the power source meets the pump's electrical requirements.

Operating Instructions

To operate the YELLOW JACKET 93600 Bullet Vacuum Pump effectively, adhere to the following guidelines:

• System Connection: Connect the vacuum pump to the system requiring evacuation using appropriate vacuum hoses and fittings. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free to achieve optimal vacuum levels.
• Power On: Turn on the vacuum pump. The pump will begin to pull a vacuum.
• Oil Level Monitoring: Regularly check the oil level through the large oil sight glass during operation. Maintain the oil level within the recommended range to ensure proper lubrication and cooling.
• Internal Check Valve: The internal intake check valve is designed to prevent oil backup into the system in the event of a power failure, protecting your system from contamination.
• Vacuum Performance: The pump is designed to pull down to 25 microns or better. Monitor your system's vacuum level with a suitable vacuum gauge.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum pump:

• Oil Changes: Change the vacuum pump oil regularly. The frequency depends on usage and the cleanliness of the evacuated system. Use the large brass oil drain for easy and fast oil changes.
• Oil Quality: Always use high-quality vacuum pump oil recommended by YELLOW JACKET. Contaminated or old oil can significantly reduce pump performance and lifespan.
• Filter Screen Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the intake filter screen to ensure it is free from debris. A clogged filter screen can restrict airflow and reduce pump efficiency.
• General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dust and dirt.

Troubleshooting

This section provides guidance for common issues you might encounter:

• Pump Not Starting: Ensure the pump is properly plugged into a functional power outlet. Check the power cord for any damage.
• Poor Vacuum Performance: Verify that all connections to the system are tight and leak-free. Check the oil level and quality; replace oil if it appears dirty or discolored. Inspect the intake filter screen for blockages.
• Excessive Noise/Vibration: Ensure the pump is on a stable, level surface. Check oil level. If noise persists, consult a qualified technician.
• Oil Spraying from Exhaust: This can indicate overfilling of oil or contaminated oil. Check oil level and drain excess if necessary. Change oil if it is contaminated.
