KVA Series vacuum pumps require very little
maintenance. To ensure optimum performance,
perform the following maintenance procedures.
INLINE (INLET) FILTER
Check the inline (inlet) filter on a weekly basis.
Clean or replace the filter cartridge when it is dirty.
Consult Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems for
replacement element information.
CAUTION !
Depending on the mounting position of the
filter, be careful not to allow accumulated
foreign material to fall in the pump suction inlet
when removing the filter cartridge. Horizontal
filter installation is recommended to prevent
this.
OIL LEVEL
Under normal circumstances, adding oil between
oil changes should not be necessary. A significant
drop in oil level means there is either an oil leak, a
defective exhaust filter or O-ring, or a leaking anti-
suckback valve.
If the pump is smoking excessively, the exhaust
filter may be installed improperly.
It is normal for the oil to be foamy or lightly colored
in an operating pump. This may be normal aeration
of the oil. If the oil appears milky or dark colored, it
is contaminated or burned and must be changed.
Check the oil level only when the pump is shut off.
Replenish oil if it drops below the 1/4 mark of the
top sight glass. Add oil through the oil fill port only.
CAUTION
!
Do not add oil while the pump is running, since
hot oil can escape from the oil fill port.
OIL TYPE AND QUANTITY
See “Filling the Pump With Oil” on page 5
for details on oil type and quantity.
OIL CHANGE
Oil change frequency depends on the application
and ambient temperature. Tuthill Vacuum & Blower
Systems recommends that the customer monitor
the condition of the oil. When using KV-100 oil,
Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems recommends
changing the oil every 500 – 750 operating hours.
When using S500 oil, Tuthill Vacuum & Blower
Systems recommends changing the oil every 750 –
1,000 operating hours.
