Vacuum Pump
It is essential to check the oil level daily and to change the oil after every 500 hours of
operation. Read the oil level with the machine turned off. Oil may be added until the level
reaches the MAX level shown in the sight glass on the pump. Refer to the pump manual
supplied with the machine for details on changing the oil.
NOTE: ALL ULTRAVAC CHAMBER MACHINES ARE SHIPPED WITH OIL IN THE PUMP.
HOWEVER THE FACTORY RECOMMENDS CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL PRIOR TO FIRST USE!
Gas Flush Connection
The owner must supply a suitable regulator with a range of 0 to 60 p.s.i. We recommend
using food-grade flexible hose with a 1/4-in. I.D. and a maximum length of 15-ft. Maximum
regulator pressure is 15 p.s.i.
