Leaks
�
Check inlet jar for leaks - Check inner
gasket and fittings, tighten if loose.
Disconnect pump from system, block off
inlet port, check vacuum level on the
gauge.
�
If vacuum level reading is good, work
back through your application checking
for leaks.
�
If vacuum level reading is still poor,
check vacuum control valve and gas
ballast to ensure they are completely
closed.
�
If vacuum level reading is still poor,
disconnect pump from the application and
run the pump for 10 minutes with the
inlet port open, turn unit off and allow the
unit to complete purge cycle (clean).
Repeat and retest vacuum performance.
