DVP VACUUM PUMP
SETUP, OPERATION & WARRANTY
DON'T DAMAGE YOUR DVP VACUUM PUMP!
Damage caused by improper use is NOT covered under warranty
Your DVP EC4 vacuum pump has been manufactured to the highest standards and should provide many years of
reliable service when used and maintained correctly. However, some common user errors can quickly damage
the pump and would not be covered under warranty.
Avoid user damage to your pump by always following these essential operating instructions:
DUST & FIBRES
Always use an inline filter to prevent dust, dirt and
fragments of fibre reinforcement from entering the
pump. Failure to do so will contaminate the oil and
increase wear, resulting in reduced performance. Filters
should be checked and changed regularly.
LEAKS
EC4 is not designed for continuous use in a leaking
condition. When run against even a small leak in a bag
or equipment for a prolonged time, oil may start to spill
from the mist separator, eventually running the pump
dry of oil and seizing the motor.

VERSION 2.0
RESIN
The most common cause of damage to vacuum pumps
in composites is ingestion of resin, which can occur in a
single major event or can accumulate over time. Always
use an inline catchpot and filter when using the pump
with liquid resin.
OIL
EC4 ships without oil. Add oil before use!
Ensure oil is maintained at correct level, top-up as nec-
essary. Regularly check for signs of contamination and
replace immediately if it appears discoloured or cloudy.
