AINTENANCE
Vacuum pumps are high wear equipment and require replacement of seals and diaphragms at least
once per year. Poor vacuum performance or bubbling or strained noises from the pump may indicate
that the pump is in need of maintenance.
Pump Manual
Refer to the operation manual supplied with your vacuum pump for recommended maintenance
routines such as oil levels, replacement of sorbent charge, and exhaust filter change-outs.
Contact
your vacuum pump supplier if you do not have an operation manual.
Trap
A filter trap plumbed to the vacuum line between the pump and the oven helps protect the pump
from outgassed byproducts and extends the operational lifespan of the pump.
