OPERATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS PRODUCT.
INTRODUCTION
The Dual-Force Vac pulls liquids into and empties liquids from a sealed 55 gallon drum. The compressed air powered
pump is used for handling sludge, used coolant (complete with metal chips), hydraulic oil, tramp oil or solvents.
Liquids can be pulled from milling machines, lathes, EDM machines, sumps, parts washers, open pits or chemical
processes, etc.
COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
The compressed air supply must be filtered (5 micron maximum) to remove water and dirt. Vortec's #701S-24A
Compressed Air Filter is supplied for this purpose. If oil is present in the compressed air supply, remove the oil using a
0.01 micron (maximum) air filter. Use Vortec oil filter #701S-48, sold separately. Change filter elements as needed.
Operating pressure at the Dual-Force Vac should be 60 to 100 PSIG.
NOTE: Do not exceed air supply pressures over 100 PSIG when operating the Dual-Force Vac.
