This instruction manual describes instructions and precautions to be observed in the handling and
maintenance of Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems Kinney
®
KT™ Single-Stage, Tri-plex Rotary Piston
Vacuum Pumps. It is strongly recommended that those who operate or maintain the pump read this manual
carefully prior to pump operation, to ensure personal safety and pump life.
3. LIFTING
WARNING
The vacuum pump must be handled using an appropriate device such
as a fork truck or appropriate lifting device. See Table 1 for approximate
weights. Care should be taken to assure pump does not over-turn during
handling and installation.
4. DESCRIPTION
The KT-Series pumps covered herein have an oil circulating pump to provide adequate lubrication at all
pressures including atmosphere. The vacuum pump has three cams and pistons pumping in parallel, driven
by a common shaft. The cams are positioned on the shaft so as to dynamically balance moving parts. This
balancing technique applied to the Rotary Piston Principle was developed by Tuthill Vacuum & Blower
Systems and virtually eliminated vibration.
Figure 1 shows a cross section of the pump with the pistons being driven by the cams and revolving within
the cylinder.
