Operation
Control Knob
The Fas-Vac system operates in two modes: evacuate
lubricants from a crankcase or reservoir and collect the
material in a 16 gallon or 55 gallon drum, and drain the
stored lubricants from the drum to a larger container.
The modes are selected with a lock-in-place control
knob (A). See Fig. 5.
When the system is not in use, lock the knob in evacu-
ation mode.
Suction Wands
Experiment to determine which wand is best for your
application. Typically, use the largest wand possible. A
quick-disconnect coupler makes it fast and easy to
switch wands.
Fluid Gauge
The fluid gauge (23) indicates approximately how full
the drum is to avoid over-filling it. See Fig. 5. When its
red cap is even with the top, the drum will be 75% to
80% full.
Evacuation
1.
Check the gauge level.
2.
Be sure that the control knob (A) is in the
EVACUATION position and the safety clip (8) locks
it in place. See Fig. 5.
3.
Connect the air supply hose to the pump air
inlet (B). Operate the pump at 40–50 psi
(2.72–3.4 bar, 0.27–0.34 MPa) For the best re-
sults.
4.
Insert the suction wand (104) in the crankcase or
reservoir.
5.
Disconnect the air to the pump when the evacua-
tion is complete.
Draining the Drum
1.
Remove the suction wand (104). Attach the suc-
tion hose quick-disconnect coupler to the male
coupler fitting of a waste oil tank, or discharge the
material to an access opening.
2.
Pull out the safety clip (8), and turn the control
knob (A) to DRAIN DRUM. See Fig. 5.
3.
Connect the air supply hose to the pump.
4.
When the draining is complete, disconnect the air
to the pump, turn the valve knob (A) back to the
evacuation position, and install the safety clip (8).
