Badger LF
User Manual
This manual contains installation, operation,
care, and repair instructions and user service
information for the RAMVAC
®
Utility Badger LF
dental vacuum system.
The main purpose of the Badger LF is to provide
a positive displacement, oil-less dry vacuum
system intended for use in a dental facility and
to be used by trained professional dental care
personnel only.
Badger LF is designed to provide trouble-free service
when installed, operated and cared for according to
the procedures set forth in this User Manual.
Vacuum is supplied to the system by a durable oil-
less rotary vane pump. A space-saving integrated
separation tank keeps liquid and foam out of the
pump. The E2 control provides precise electrical
control over run-time and shutdown operations
while vacuum is maintained at a uniform level by
the RAMVAC vacuum level control valve.
To ensure proper installation of the Badger
LF, carefully read all instructions contained
in this manual prior to installing, operating,
and servicing. For safety, pay close attention
to all notices, warnings, cautions and notes.

from storage vessels or supply hoses. Large
concentrations may cause a fire in the Vacuum
Unit and may cause an exhaust hazard.
