  • Page 8: Introduction

    Masport first looked to international markets with trial exports of vacuum pumps to the United States in 1956 – and has never looked back since. In 1991 the ownership of Masport’s vacuum pump division was transferred to Skellerup Holdings – an iconic New Zealand Company which also celebrated its centenary in 2010.
  • Page 9: Intended Use

    Intended Use Masport vacuum/pressure pumps are intended to be used for loading and unloading of liquid material. These pumps are commonly used for liquid waste transport, septic tank cleaning, oil field water trucks, car wash or grease trap cleaning and many other industrial applications.
  • Page 10 Four-Way Valve: For pumps fitted with a valve, the four-way valve is used to change the pump operation from vacuum to pressure or pressure to vacuum by rotating the handle through 90 degrees. The centre position is neutral. Either valve port can be plumbed to the inlet or the exhaust using the correct I.D pipe. The valve handle is mounted on a four-sided shaft.
  • Page 11: Recommended System Components

    Recommended System Components Primary Shut-Off Trap Secondary Moisture Trap Pressure Relief Flushing Kit Valve Oil Reservoir Kit Inlet Filter Pumper Scent Vacuum/Pressure Vacuum Relief Gauge Valve Separator Primary Shut-Off Trap: A float ball shut-off that prevents liquid in the tank from overflowing into the system and entering the vacuum pump.
  • Page 12: Inlet Filter

    Inlet Filter: Prevents small particulate matter from entering the pump. This filter should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly. Vacuum/Pressure Gauge: Liquid filled gauges provide accurate measurements that allow monitoring of the vacuum pump under both vacuum and pressure operating modes. Vacuum Relief Valve: Governs the operating vacuum level.
  • Page 13: Drive Systems

    WARNING! Ensure that all moving parts are properly guarded. Rotation of the Pump The TITAN, SIDEWINDER, HYDRA, MAMBA and COBRA pumps are all single shaft pumps. There is an arrow printed onto the pump model tag on the oil pump cover indicating the proper pump rotation.
  • Page 14: Pump Speeds And Power Requirements

    Fan Cooled Models Fan cooled models have a fan attached to the rotor shaft to cool the pump. On the TITAN, SIDEWINDER, MAMBA and COBRA Pumps an axial fan is located inside the cast housing on the non-drive end of the pump and draws air through the fan guard between the cylinder and the cowling towards the drive end.
  • Page 15: Liquid Cooled Models

    Axial Fan To prevent the pump from overheating, ensure: The fan guard is kept clear for air to flow freely;  The drive end of the pump is open for the cooling air to escape; and  Dirt does not build up inside the cowling between the cooling fins of the cylinder. ...
  • Page 16: Vacuum Relief Valve

    A Temperature gauge is supplied with liquid cooled pumps. On the HYDRA Pump this should be installed in the temperature gauge port denoted by the ‘T’ cast inscription on the end faces of the cylinder. If the pump is connected to the cooling system of a truck engine, the gauges of the truck and the pump should show similar temperatures.
  • Page 17: Pressure Relief Valve

    Pressure Relief Valve It is recommended to set the pressure relief valves below 10 PSI. This level is adequate in majority of applications. WARNING! For pressure settings above 15 PSI the tank manufacturer should be consulted for recommended operating pressures. To set the pressure relief valve: Unscrew the Lock Nut.
  • Page 18: Pump Lubrication

    All Seasons Oil WARNING! Do not use transmission fluid, automotive motor oil, power steering fluid, used oil, vegetable oil, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid, gear oil or scented oil in a Masport pump. Substitute oils approved for use in Masport pumps: Shell Turbo T Oil 32, 68, 100 ...
  • Page 19: Prior To Start-Up

    Oil Reservoir Mounting: The oil pump must be connected to an oil reservoir tank. The oil reservoir tank must be mounted higher than the oil feed connection on the oil pump so that the oil will be fed by gravity. Prior to Start-Up: Before running the pump for the first time (and any time after pump teardown or if it has been out of service for some time) follow the below procedure:...
  • Page 20: Flushing Information

    Masport pumps are best flushed by using the Masport specially formulated Flushing Fluid. This is available from your local Masport representative or by contacting Masport directly.
  • Page 21 Continue to run the pump until the fluid level drops 1 graduation (approximately 7 fluid  ounces). Close the ball valve.  Continue to operate the pump for 3 additional minutes to ensure all fluid is purged from the  pump.
  • Page 22: Maintenance And Important Operating Tips

    Check and clean the Inlet Filter. Ensure the filter is completely dry before refitting. This  checking process must be done anytime contamination may have entered the system. Flush the pump weekly with Masport Flushing Fluid, or anytime liquids or solids have been  allowed to, or suspected of entering the vacuum pump.
  • Page 23: For Safe Operation

    Storage: If the pump is to be sitting for an extended period of time it needs to be flushed prior to  storage. After flushing, run the vacuum pump for 8 – 10 minutes to lubricate and coat the internals with fresh oil. After shutting down the pump pour 1 – 2 ounces of oil through the vacuum pump inlet and rotate by hand.

  • Page 26 If the oil lines and fittings are to be reused, feed the oil lines with the fittings through the fan guard on the TITAN, SIDEWINDER, MAMBA and COBRA Pumps and the bell housing on the HYDRA pump on removal.
  • Page 27: All Models

    Fan Cooled Models: For the TITAN, SIDEWINDER, MAMBA and COBRA Pumps remove the fan guard mounting bolts. Loosely refit two opposing bolts to support the weight of fan guard on removal from its location dowels. Note: The fan guard weighs approximately 20lbs. Avoid damaging the dowel pins on removal by evenly prying the fan guard off the location dowels.
  • Page 28 End Cover Removal: Remove the bolts around the perimeter of the end cover. In order to maintain factory set clearances avoid damaging the dowel pins during end cover removal. To properly remove the end cover, work evenly from each side of the cover, which will help to avoid misalignment of the end cover and bending of the dowel pins.
  • Page 29 End Cover Disassembly: Remove the bearing retainer from one of the end covers by removing the four mounting bolts. Fit two of these bolts into the tapped holes of the bearing retainer and evenly tighten to remove from the end cover bores. From the bearing retainer remove the two bolts from the threads, the O-ring seal from the outer diameter and the internal circlip.
  • Page 30 Measure the vanes to see if they are within the usable limit. If they are not, they should be discarded and replaced. The vanes should be replaced when their height is below the usable limit detailed in the table below: Pump Vane Usable Height (“) TITAN > 2 3/32" SIDEWINDER > 2 3/32" HYDRA >...
  • Page 31: Cylinder Inspection

    Cylinder Inspection: With the end cover removed inspect the cylinder for damage or corrugation. Prior to inspection, the cylinder should be cleaned inside and out to allow a more thorough inspection. Inspect the interior of the cylinder for cracks and deep gouges around the circumference and corrugation across the length of the bore.
  • Page 32 Once the shaft is free of burrs, the bearing and spacer can be pulled by means of a bearing puller. Bearings should be removed only using the proper tools. A bearing puller is the only tool that will give satisfactory results. Prying or hammering will only risk damage to the components. WARNING! Do not loosen the socket head screws that secure the flange to the rotor Do not install new bearings and Spacers at this time.
  • Page 33 Bearing and Spacer Replacement: After confirming the end cover and spacer match to the corresponding rotor end, replacement can begin. Place the correct spacer on the shaft that it was removed from. Ensure that the spacer is installed on the rotor shaft with the large bore facing towards the rotor. If the center punch mark on the drive end spacer has raised the surface, file flush to spacer diameter.
  • Page 34: Oil Seal Replacement

    Oil Seal Replacement: Place the first of the new oil seals into the seal bore of the bearing retainer. Ensure that the first oil seal is installed with the spring side of the seal facing away from the seal bore of the bearing retainer.
  • Page 35 Reassembly: The area to be used for reassembly should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination during the reassembly process. Installing the First End Cover If both end covers have been removed from the cylinder the below procedure needs to be followed.
  • Page 36 Vanes for the TITAN, SIDEWINDER, HYDRA, MAMBA and COBRA Pumps have a radiused edge. Install them with the radius in contact with the cylinder wall. Note: Make sure the vane is oriented correctly. The chamfered edges of the vane must be inserted into the rotor.
  • Page 37: Installing The Oil Pump

    Fit the new oil pump drive coupling into the shaft recess and fix in place with the new tension pin. Ensure that the drive coupling is fitted to the non-drive end of the pump. TITAN, SIDEWINDER, MAMBA and COBRA: Refit the fan guard housing to the end cover. Ensure that the alignment and orientation marking from disassembly correspond.
  • Page 38 Refit the fan assembly to the rotor shaft. Ensure the fan assembly is recessed onto rotor shaft until it bottoms out. Fit and tighten the retaining screws. Note: This position of the fan boss is required to ensure adequate clearance for expansion whilst also reducing access for contamination entering to the oil pump drive coupling.
  • Page 39 Manifold Valve Assembly: Remove the shoulder bolt and check valve from the manifold valve assembly. Test that the new check valve slides freely on the shoulder bolt stem. As necessary polish the stem to remove any debris or buildup to ensure free movement. Apply thread locker to the shoulder bolt and reinstall. Note: Ensure the check valve is installed with the correct orientation Rebuild Specifications: Cylinder Remachining:...
