ATTENTION
Do not attempt to install nor service any type of rotating shaft when
engine is running or operational. You can snag clothes, skin, hair,
hands, etc. This can cause serious injury and or death!
• Do not go under the vehicle when the engine is running
• Do not work near an exposed rotating shaft when the engine is running
• Never work alone while under a vehicle
.
When installing a Fruitland vacuum pump that is to be driven by a hydraulic motor or angle gearbox,
the coupling on the pump shaft should be properly aligned and have a sufficient gap clearance of .070”
between the two halves of the coupling to allow the rotor to expand lengthwise due to heat. If sufficient
clearance is not given, the rotor in the pump will not stay centered in the housing and severe pump
damage will occur.
