VACUUM PUMP MAINTENANCE
Oil must be periodically changed in the vacuum pump
to ensure continued performance. The RHS980 will
display a reminder after every ten hours of vacuum
pump use.
A drain port and fill port for the vacuum pump protrude
through the rear wall of the RHS980 – to the left of the
handle. A sight glass for viewing the oil level in the
vacuum pump is located on the end of the fill port.
Drain oil from the drain port and refill with new oil
through the fill port. Use oil which is specially
formulated for a vacuum pump.
RTI Part Numbers:
011-80004-00 One quart bottle
360-80012-00 Case of 12 one quart bottles
The oil level should be visible approximately one-half
the way up in the sight glass.
COMBO FILTER MAINTENANCE
The RHS980 combo filter must be replaced after every
150 lbs. of refrigerant has been recovered from A/C
systems. An alert will display when the filter life is at
100 lbs. The RHS980 will shut down when the filter life
is at 150 lbs. A new filter must be installed and a serial
number entered to re-start the RHS980.
A special routine for changing the combo filter is
explained on Page 12.
The document pocket on the left side of the RHS980
can be removed to gain access to the combo filter.
The combo filter is on the right side of the manifold as
shown in the photo. A hex on top of the filter is
provided to make filter removal and installation easy.
Use an end wrench on this hex. New O-rings are
provided with the replacement filter.
A serial number is printed on a label attached to the
new filter. Make a note of this number as it may not be
visible when the filter is installed. This serial number
must be entered to reset the 150 hour filter life routine.
Order Filter Kit: 360-82133-00
The RHS980 records the hours the vacuum pump
runs. A reminder screen displays when that total
equals 10 hours. The vacuum pump oil should be
changed at that time. This screen displays the hours
remaining until the reminder screen will display. Press
START key to continue.
