Use a cotton swab or clean cloth to clean out dirt or grit around the venting holes. • Remove BALL and SPRING. Clean the areas around valve seating surfaces in the VALVE BODY and elements. • Reassemble VACUUM ADJUST and PRESSURE ADJUST valves. IMPORTANT: Note that in the VACUUM valve, the SPRING must go back in first, followed by the BALL. In the PRESSURE valve, the BALL must go back in before the SPRING. (2) Motor Overload Protection The pump motor has an internal thermal overload switch which may trip if abnormal operation occurs. If the motor stops, check the pump. If you find no defect, allow the motor to cool for approximately 30 minutes, then restart. If the overload trips again—and no external source causing the overload can be identified—return the complete unit to your dealer for repair.

DANGERS: Unplug power cord before any cleaning operation is started. Improper use of grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. WARNING: Gas under pressure should not be used for supply as a hazardous bursting condition could develop in the pump head. Use only gases contained at atmospheric pressure. CAUTION: Do not operate pump when pressure ports of both heads are in a blocked condition. To Remove the Pump Head Remove the eight (8) screws holding the pump head to the pump housing. Do not discard. With the ‘old’ head off, examine the diaphragm for cracks or loose particles. Deep cracks would suggest that the diaphragm should be replaced. Normal operation will cause some particles to be worn from the diaphragm. Wipe the diaphragm clean with a dry cloth or one dampened with alcohol. If not removed, these particles could affect the performance of the valves. To Replace the Diaphragm Remove the eight (8) screws holding the pump head to the housing. Do not discard. Slide the diaphragm away from the motor and then lift upward. Unscrew the bearing collar assembly from the diaphragm. Examine the bearing; check that the “needles” rotate freely. Install the new diaphragm onto the bearing collar. Hold the diaphragm center plate, not the rubber portion of the diaphragm, while the assembly is tightened. Rotate the eccentric (attached to the motor shaft) by hand while applying grease to the dowel pin. Use a wooden toothpick or something similar. Don’t scratch the pin by using a metal object. To Install the Diaphragm Rotate the eccentric so that the dowel pin is “upward.” Slide the diaphragm toward the motor, while gently pushing downward. Align the diaphragm bead with the groove in the pump housing. It is recommended that a new pump head be installed whenever a diaphragm is replaced. Excessive wear particles from the old diaphragm may have entered the valves and decreased their performance. To Replace the Pump Head Position the new pump head so that the flat edge is located toward the motor. Care should be taken to align the diaphragm bead to the recess in the pump head before the screws are tightened. Use the original screws to attach the head onto the housing. IMPORTANT: tighten the screws alternately, at opposite sides of the head, so that it will seat evenly. Use two steps—first, tighten all to approximately 50 oz-in, then tighten to 100 to 110 oz-in. CAUTION: Do not disassemble the pump housing from the motor. Proper assembly (factory adjusted) is critical to proper pump performance. 2 15 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION The Vacuum/Pressure Station can be serviced without removal of the pump. The introductions in this manual are task-oriented. You can go directly to a particular section and quickly find the answers. The step-by-step installation and setup instructions are easy to follow. Also, functions for all the tubing connections and adjustment valves are defined at the front of the manual for easy reference. Service Kit 7530-09 contains a pump head assembly, a diaphragm assembly, and grease. The pump head consists of two valves and two valve retainers installed in the pump head. The diaphragm assembly consists of a set screw installed in the diaphragm center plate to a calibrated height. The grease is needed whenever a diaphragm is replaced. Pressure vs. Vacuum In relation to atmospheric air, pressure can be positive or negative in a closed space. In positive pressure applications, the pump compresses atmospheric air to perform work, usually expressed as pounds per square inch (psi). In negative pressure applications, the pump reduces the pressure of the atmospheric air to create a vacuum (or suction) to perform work, usually expressed as inches of mercury (in Hg). Valve Retainer Valve Pump Head Screws (8) Valve Pump Head Valve Retainer Although the way these pressure differentials are generated and used in a closed space is exactly opposite, the same equipment can be used by simply changing tubing connections.
