OPERATION Initial Preparation 1. If the vacuum pump is equipped with a dual voltage motor, make sure the voltage selector switch is set for the desired voltage operation. 2. The vacuum pump is shipped without oil in the reservoir. Remove the exhaust/oil fill cap and add oil until it is seen in the middle of the oil sight glass.
It is recommended to change the vacuum pump oil after 50 hours of usage. The purity of the oil will determine the final vacuum level achieved. Always use the CPS recommended vacuum pump oil (VPOQ / VPOP / VPOG). The oil provided with the pump has been specially blended to maintain maximum visosity at normal running temperatures as well as cold weather starts.
