system pressure should be close to that obtained
with the pump inlet closed off.
FILLING THE PUMP WITH OIL
See
Specifications on page 4
for the quantity
of oil required for each model. Upon initial start-up,
pour a small quantity of oil into the pump inlet to
ensure adequate lubrication on starting. Pour the
remainder of the required oil quantity into the pump
as follows:
KC-5 and KC-8
1. Unscrew the oil mist eliminator from the pump.
2.
Remove the high vacuum stage oil fill plug.
3. Pour approximately 1/3 of the required quantity
of oil into the high vacuum stage of the pump.
4.
Pour the remaining quantity of oil through the
threaded hole from which the oil mist eliminator
was removed.
5.
Check that the fill plug and gasket are clean
and in good condition.
6. Replace the plug and gasket, making a
vacuum-tight seal.
7. Replace the oil mist eliminator on the pump.
KC-15
1. Pour approximately 1/8 qt (0.15 L) of oil into
the pump suction port.
2. Pour the remaining 7/8 qt (0.85 L) of oil into the
high vacuum stage oil fill port.
3. Continue to pour the remaining oil into the
discharge port of the pump until the oil level is
approximately 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) below the top of
the sight glass.
PRE-START CHECKS
1. Check that the suction lines are tight and
completely free of all foreign matter.
2.
Check that the pump has been filled with oil.
3. Check that the pump can be turned over by
hand without mechanical interference. The inlet
should be open to atmospheric pressure, and
additional turning force is required when the
pump discharges.
4.
Check the V-belt tension by applying normal
thumb pressure to the top of the tightest belt
about midway between the two pulleys. The
tightest belt should depress about its own
thickness, indicating proper tension.
In general, V-belts should be tightened just
enough to prevent slippage when operating the
pump under load (that is, operating with a fully
open gas ballast valve).
5. Check that all wiring is completed and correct.
Momentarily start and stop the pump to
check the direction of pump shaft rotation.
On standard pumps, the rotation should be
clockwise when facing the pump pulley.
