Maintenance User Guide Maintenance Overview RAMVAC preventive maintenance is simple, clean, and inexpensive, however we recommend that all maintenance and service be provided by a trained dealer service technician. It can help ensure your RAMVAC provides years of predictable performance.
Cleaning the Vacuum System Clean vacuum lines daily. Just before turning off the RAMVAC, rinse vacuum lines first with hot water -- approximately one quart through each high volume line and a few ounces through each saliva ejector line.

The “Lubrication System” supplies oil drop by drop through “Drippers” to the pump. Used oil is discharged back into the Oil Reservoir as a mist, separated from the exhaust, filtered and recirculated.
