Vane Wear
Life expectancy of Fruitland fiber vanes is hundreds of working hours. It greatly depends on
the cleanliness of the intake air. Any contamination that enters your pump (e.g. sand, rust or
soil particles) will shorten their life expectancy. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep con
-
tamination out of the pump. Keep filters clean.
Many factors can contribute to rapid or premature vane wear:
1. Overheating of the pump (check overheating in trouble shooting page
27.)
2. Contamination entering the pump, or anything that can affect the action of the oil such as
abrasives, fumes and or chemicals.
3. Running the pump too fast (over and or under speeding) (check rpm of pump drive shaft)
4. Wrong oil or no oil.
5. Oil pump failure.
6. Pump housing damage.
7. Rotor slots worn. If contamination has gotten into the pump and has caused the rotor slots
to wear unevenly, extra force is required to return the vanes into the slots as the rotor turns.
This extra load can cause housing wear, vane wear and increase the pump temperature.
