10.6 Long life pump test
The Long Life Pump function equipped on the ACX2281
enables the unit to optimize the vacuum pump oil use and
avoid the need to replace after every 60 hours of operation.
1.
After the first 60 hours of vacuum pump operation, check the
vacuum pump oil level and top off if necessary.
2. From the MAINTENANCE menu, scroll until LONG LIFE
PUMP TEST is highlighted and press arrow.
3. The process will run for approximately 1 hour.
During this process, the vacuum pump oil is automatically
purified from the gaseous residues absorbed by the oil during the
vacuuming of vehicle A/C systems.
4. At end of procedure, vacuum pump performance check is
executed and the result is displayed on the display.
If the result of the Long Life Pump test is negative, the oil must
be changed.
If the results pass, the pump oil remaining time will change to
1000 hours. After 1000 hours of runtime, the oil must be
changed.
