It is recommended that OV500 Series oil be used to receive the best performance from your vacuum equipment. OV500 Series oil is a high quality vacuum oil that will give longer running time between oil changes, will provide better lubrication at high operating temperatures, and will prolong the life of exhaust filter elements.
Gas Ballast All ORV Series pumps are equipped with a gas ballast valve. The gas ballast valve (Ref. 440) is located between the inlet port and the exhaust box. ORV series pumps are equipped with a permanent gas ballast which cannot be shut off unless the sintered filter is removed and the orifice plugged.
A significant drop in oil level means there is an oil leak or that an exhaust filter is broken, and the pump should be smoking excessively. It is normal for the oil to be foamy and light in color in an operating pump. However, if the oil is milky colored, it is an indication that water is present in the oil.
3.1.4 Oil Flushing Procedure Flushing is needed under certain conditions. Some pumps will be beyond flushing and will need to be overhauled. To help determine if flushing is needed, observe the condition of the oil as it is drained from the pump. Is it black and tar like or contami- nated in any way? Was the pump noisy, overheating, or was the motor overload shutting the pump off? How old is the pump and when was the last time the oil was changed? If the above conditions exist or you don‘t know when the last oil change was performed further investigation is needed.
Exhaust Filter WARNING: If the gas entering this pump is a health hazard, use rubber gloves and all necessary personal protection equipment when performing the exhaust filter replacement operation. Every nine (9) to twelve (12) months, or as necessary, replace the exhaust filter elements. The service life of the exhaust filters varies widely with pump application.
Vacuum Inlet Filter (optional) If the pump is equipped with a special vacuum inlet filter in applications where powder, dust or grit is present, the filter cartridge should be cleaned on a weekly basis, or as required, depending on the amount of foreign particles to which the pump is exposed. Routine Maintenance Schedule Note: Lack of proper maintenance can result in blocked filters, radiators, oil lines, etc.

Possible Cause: No oil or not enough oil in oil reservoir. Remedy: Shut off the pump, add the necessary oil, or if oil seems contaminated, drain balance of oil from pump, exchange automotive oil filter, and refill with fresh oil. Flush if necessary. Possible Cause: Automotive-type oil filter is dirty or clogged (where applicable).

Trouble Pump will not start: Possible Cause: The motor does not have proper supply voltage or is overloaded; motor starter overload settings are too low or wrong setting; fuses are burned; or wire is too small or too long, causing a voltage drop to the motor. Remedy: Check correct supply voltage;...

Trouble Pump discharges smoke at the exhaust port or expels oil droplets from the exhaust. Possible Cause: Exhaust filter is not properly seated with O-ring (Ref.121) in filter base or filter material is cracked. Remedy: Check condition and check for proper seating of exhaust filters. Replace if necessary. Also, check filter spring clips for tightness. Possible Cause: Exhaust filter is clogged with foreign particles.
