Page 14: Vacuum Pump Drive Systems
The tank truck drive system must be set up or dialed into the correct optimal operational input RPM of the vacuum pump during system & pump installation. Every vacuum pump model has a different optimum operational RPM. Contact Fruitland Manufacturing for the correct operational RPM for your vacuum pump model & system. - Page 15 Check the Drive Components of the Vacuum Pump If using a Fruitland right-angled gearbox verify the gear oil level within the gearbox and clean the vent cap upon the top of the gearbox case during your routine service. If using a belt and pulley to operate the vacuum pump, check the belts for wear and verify the belt’s tension during your routine service.

Page 17: Vane Wear Measurement
Note: Be extra careful not to bend the checking rod. Vane wear (see diagram above) should not exceed 3/8”in models RCF1200. Fruitland pumps have at least two orifices for checking vane wear, some models have four. These orifices are located on the housing at both ends of the vacuum pump, and are marked with red. - Page 18 Vane Wear Life expectancy of Fruitland fiber vanes is hundreds of working hours. It greatly depends on the cleanliness of the intake air. Any contamination that enters your pump (e.g. sand, rust or soil particles) will shorten their life expectancy. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep contamination out of the pump.
