Key Features:
- Isolation Valve: Allows for oil changes without losing vacuum in the system.
- Built-in Vacuum Indicator Gauge: Provides real-time vacuum level monitoring.
- Wide-Mouth Oil Reservoir Port: Facilitates easier and cleaner oil filling. This port also doubles as the pump exhaust and is threaded to attach a garden hose for remote exhausting.
- Large Oil Sight Glass: Enables easy monitoring of the oil level.
- Large Brass Oil Drain: Designed for easy access and fast oil changes.
Setup and Installation
Before operating the YELLOW JACKET 93560 Superevac pump, ensure all components are present and undamaged. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure adequate clearance around the pump for air circulation and access for maintenance.
- Oil Filling: The pump may be shipped without oil or with a small amount for testing. Before first use, fill the oil reservoir with the recommended vacuum pump oil. Use the wide-mouth oil reservoir port for clean filling. Monitor the oil level through the large oil sight glass. Do not overfill.
- Power Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded 115V, 60 Hz power outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the pump's requirements.
- Initial Check: Before connecting to a system, briefly turn on the pump to ensure it operates smoothly and quietly. Observe the oil level and ensure no leaks are present.
Operating Instructions
The Superevac pump is designed for efficient evacuation of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
- System Connection: Connect the pump to the system requiring evacuation using appropriate vacuum hoses and fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Start-up: Turn on the pump. The built-in vacuum indicator gauge will begin to show the vacuum level as the pump operates.
- Monitoring Vacuum: Continuously monitor the vacuum indicator gauge to ensure the desired vacuum level is achieved. The pump is field-rated at 15 microns or better.
- Using the Isolation Valve: The isolation valve allows for oil changes without breaking the vacuum in the system. To change oil during operation, close the isolation valve, perform the oil change, and then reopen the valve.
- Exhaust Management: The wide-mouth oil reservoir port doubles as the pump exhaust. If desired, a garden hose can be threaded onto this port to direct exhaust to a remote location, especially in confined spaces or when dealing with large amounts of moisture.
- Shut-down: Once the desired vacuum is achieved and maintained, close the system's service valves. Turn off the pump and disconnect the hoses.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your YELLOW JACKET 93560 Superevac pump. Adhere to the following maintenance schedule:
- Oil Changes:
- Change the vacuum pump oil frequently, especially after evacuating systems with high moisture content. Dirty or contaminated oil reduces pump efficiency and can cause damage.
- To change oil, ensure the pump is off and cool. Place a suitable container under the large brass oil drain. Open the drain plug to allow the old oil to flow out.
- Once drained, close the plug and refill with new, clean vacuum pump oil through the wide-mouth oil reservoir port. Use the oil sight glass to ensure the correct level.
- Oil Level Monitoring: Regularly check the oil level through the large oil sight glass. Maintain the oil level between the minimum and maximum indicators.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dust and debris. Ensure cooling fins are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Inlet Filter: Periodically inspect and clean or replace the inlet filter (if applicable) to prevent contaminants from entering the pump.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, drain the oil and store the pump in a dry, clean environment. Cap all ports to prevent contamination.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Superevac pump. For problems not listed here, contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not starting | No power, faulty power cord, motor issue. | Check power connection and outlet. Inspect power cord for damage. If issues persist, contact service. |
| Pump not pulling sufficient vacuum | Contaminated or low oil, leaks in system/hoses, clogged inlet. | Change oil. Check all connections for leaks. Inspect and clean inlet. |
| Excessive noise or vibration | Low oil level, worn components, pump not level. | Check and add oil. Ensure pump is on a stable, level surface. If noise persists, professional inspection may be needed. |
| Oil misting from exhaust | High moisture content in system, overfilled oil. | Ensure system is dry before evacuation. Check oil level and drain if overfilled. Consider using an exhaust filter or directing exhaust remotely. |
