Operating Manual - Vacuum Pump TFK 12
Installation
Warning: During operation the pump surfaces become very hot. There is
the danger of burning.
Mount the pump on a solid horizontal surface. Couple the drive to the free shaft ensuring correct
alignment. When using a belt drive the tension should not exceed 110N.
Check the turning direction.
Mount the pipe fitting into the G1/4” outlet port.
Ensure that the largest possible tube sizes with shortest paths are used. Every restriction, bend and
length of tube reduces the performance of the pump.
If components are connected to the outlet the pump will experience higher temperature due to
compression heating.
Protect the pump from impact and vibration through the use of rubber damping.
Ensure that cooling air can flow freely around the pump.
A professional installer should connect the power. Before staring, double check if the pressure / suction
components are connected correctly.
Should water be present in the system prevent it from reaching the pump with a suitable water separator.
Avoid the build up of condensation in the system.
Use a suitable filter to prevent dirt and dust entering the pump. It is possible such contamination could
cause a pump to fail.
