WARNING CAUTION DO NOT VALVE OR RESTRICT PUMP DISCHARGE OPENING. USE OIL MIST ELIMINATOR WHEN OPERATING PUMP, ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN DISCHARGING INDOORS DO NOT OPERATE REFER TO MANUAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. WITHOUT BELT GUARD NOTICE The above safety instruction tags were permanently affixed to your pump prior to shipment. Do not remove, paint over or obscure in any manner. -

Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual applies to Kinney Vacuum KT Series models KT-840VFP and KT-1350VFP. You should be thoroughly familiar with these instructions before attempting to install, operate or repair this unit. Consult Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems when problems arise that cannot be resolved after reading this manual. -
Page 5: Suction Manifolding
On the KT-1350VFP install one black spring at the belt drive end on the suction port side, one white spring at the oil mist eliminator end on the suction port side, and both gray springs on the gas ballast side. The vibrasprings may not work correctly if they are not installed in the correct locations. -
Page 6: Filling The Pump With Oil
If an optional water flow modulating valve (Water Miser) is fitted, the cylinder may take 20 minutes or more to fill. The delay can be avoided by lifting the spring to open the valve. WARNING: Fill the cooling water jacket before starting the pump. -
Page 7: Vacuum Gauges
If the pump is not wired when received, wire the motor in accordance with Figure 3, which also illustrates optional controls such as system pressure switch, oil temperature and pressure switches and cooling water solenoid valve. When wiring is completed turn the pump by hand to ensure that the pump is free to turn and then momentarily jog the motor to check that the pump rotation direction is clockwise when facing the drive end. -
Page 8: Stopping The Pump
Adjust the Gas Ballast (See the Gas Ballast section). The small gas ballast valve can be set to quiet the pump during blank off conditions and left open if an ultimate vacuum of 0.05 to 0.10 torr is acceptable. Run the pump at blank off for 5-10 minutes and then with full gas ballast for 10-15 minutes before opening the suction of the pump to a higher air pressure. -
Page 9: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE There is no fixed interval for changing pump oil, since applications vary widely. This can be determined only by experience and/or by deterioration of pump performance. As a minimum, the pump oil should be changed after each six month logged period of operating. -
Page 10: Pump Leaks
a process related coating build up can be removed by soaking the pump with the proper solvent (turning by hand) - check with Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems. Inspecting the inside the pump is covered under “DISASSEMBLY. ” PUMP LEAKS If the pump is suspected of having an air leak, after eliminating oil contamination as the cause of poor performance, use a plastic sealing compound to seal over suspected areas, such as joints, connections plugs and any penetrations into the vacuum area and check pump blank off performance. -
Page 11: Discharge Valves
compound such as Loctite 515. Temporary gaskets may be ASSEMBLY fabricated from plastic sealing compound but these should not be made too thick since the material may be squeezed into the equipment. DISCHARGE VALVES ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE If the cause of poor pump vacuum is not due to leaks or oil SCREW contamination, the next step is to inspect the discharge valves GUIDE... -
Page 12: V-Belt Drive
V-BELT DRIVE Before attempting to tension the V-belt drive it is imperative that the sheaves be properly aligned. V-belts should be replaced in sets and the sheaves should be positioned so as to allow the belts to be placed in the grooves without rolling them onto the sheaves. -
Page 13: Reassembly
Disconnect all manifolding, water lines, and electrical connections and drain the oil. Remove the belt guard and belts. Remove the oil lines from both ends. Remove the sheave from the motor and the motor from the top of the pump. Remove the pump sheave and drive key. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
Place the closed head slide-pin on the piston slide with the flat edge toward the piston. With the inlet ports facing down, insert the piston and pin into the cylinder. Press the sleeve, bearing into the closed head. Apply a thin coat of Loctite 515 or equal, sealing compound to the sealing surfaces of the head and cylinder. -
