PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This manual contains site preparation, installation, operation, care and user service information for the Ramvac
®
Badger LF dental vacuum system. To view the latest manual, go to
to download a digital (PDF) copy.
The main purpose of the Badger LF is to provide a positive displacement, oil-less dry vacuum system intended for use
in a dental facility and to be used by trained professional dental care personnel only. Badger LF vacuums are designed
to provide trouble-free service when installed, operated and cared for according to the procedures set forth in this
manual. They are NFPA 99C Level 3 dental vacuums.
Vacuum is supplied to the system by a durable oil-less rotary vane pump. A space-saving integrated separation tank
keeps liquid and foam out of the pump. The E2 control provides precise electrical control over run-time and shutdown
operations while vacuum is maintained at a uniform level by the Ramvac vacuum level control valve.
To ensure proper installation, carefully read all the instructions contained in this manual prior to installing, operating
and servicing. For safety, pay close attention to all warnings, cautions, notices and notes.
Before starting installation procedures, review the illustration to become familiar with the components of the vacuum
(FIGURE 1)
.
After the vacuum is installed, review the features, operation procedures and care guidelines with the doctor’s staff.
LEAVE THIS MANUAL IN THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE.
