CONGRATULATIONS
on the purchase of a new
Mechanical Vacuum Booster
from Tuthill Vacuum
& Blower Systems. Please examine the booster
for shipping damage, and if any damage is found,
report it immediately to the carrier. If the booster is
to be installed at a later date, make sure it is stored
in a clean, dry location and rotated regularly. Make
sure covers are kept on all openings. If the booster
is stored outdoors, be sure to protect it from
weather and corrosion.
Mechanical Vacuum Boosters
are built to
exacting standards and, if properly installed and
maintained, will provide many years of reliable
service. Tuthill urges you to take time to read
and follow every step of these instructions when
installing and maintaining your booster. Tuthill has
tried to make these instructions as straightforward
