VACUUM PUMP FLUSHING PROCEDURE
Flush the Pump
During your routine scheduled service of your tank truck and vacuum system perform the
manufactures suggested Pump Flushing Procedure. This will remove the caked oil and car-
bon build-up from within the vacuum pump and the oil catch muffler system expelling this
carbon & debris build-up out of the oil catch muffler’s drain valve. Flushing the system on a
routine basis will also help in reducing smoke due to the fact of eliminating varnish and or
carbon build-up from within the oil catch muffler and vacuum pump.
Pump Flushing Procedure
1. Stop the pump and remove ¼ “ npt plug located on the pump diverter valve
2. Connect a brass fitting, rubber hose, ball valve and flushing fluid bottle to this port
3. Run the Pump, switch to vacuum and slowly open the ball valve
4. Pass approximately 2 to 3 liters of the flushing fluid through the pump while re -
stricting/controlling the flushing fluid flow through the ball valve.
5. Close the ball valve and run the pump for an additional minute to remove all the
flushing fluid from the pump.
6. Drain the oil catch muffler or oil separator
7. If you remove the Pump flushing fittings from the pump, make sure to re-install
the ¼ “ NPT plug back into the port.
8. Resume pumping operation
For ease of operation, Fruitland recommends installing our Pump Flushing Kit (Part #FK500)
to assist in this procedure.
