START UP:
If the motor fails to start or slows down significantly under load, shut off and disconnect from
power supply. Check that the voltage is correct for motor and the motor is turning in the proper
direction. Vane life will be drastically reduced if motor is not operating properly. Vanes can
break or be damaged it motor/pump runs in the wrong direction. Motors are equipped with
thermal protector that turns current of automatically when to mechanical or electrical overloads.
Also check the wiring instructions on motor case or on thermal plate cover.
LUBRICATION:
CAUTION: NEVER LUBRICATE DRY "OIL-LESS" AIR PUMPS.
The carbon vanes and
grease packed bearing s require NO oil.
FLUSHING:
Flushing this product to remove excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture or oil that occurs in the
operating environment will help to maintain proper vane performance. Most pump troubles can
be corrected by flushing solvent rather than by taking apart. A noisy or inefficient pump is
frequently nothing more serious than vanes stuck in a rotor slot due to foreign material (dust)
and / or dirty filters.
CAUTION
-- Recommended commercial solvents for SAS pumps are Loctite Safety Solvent,
Inhibisol Safety Solvent, and Dow Chemical Chlorothane. In the event one of the above are not
available, use any NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-TOXIC, NON-PETROLEUM BASE, INDUSTRIAL
CLEANING SOLVENT. (SAS PUMP FLUSHING LIQUID --- P/N 9700-11).
FLUSHING PROCEDURES:
Remove Intake Filter Assembly and Exhaust Port Assembly. Flushing should be done while the
unit is running and in a well ventilated area. Then while wearing proper protection have a clean
cloth over the exhaust port marked "OUT". Spray or pour a small amount of flushing solution in
the intake port marked "IN". Continue flushing until solution coming out exhaust port appears to
be clear. After all solvent has passed through the pump continue to let the pump run while
unseen solution can dissipate into the air, then re-attach the Intake Filter Assembly to the port
marked “IN” and Exhaust Port Assembly to the port marked “OUT”. Frequent flushing is
recommended to help maintain proper vane performance.
FILTER ELEMENTS:
Replace Intake and Exhaust Filter every 90 to 100 running hours.
DISASSEMBLY:
If foreign matter has entered pump, try flushing. If this does not eliminate the foreign matter,
unplug pump, remove only the dead end plate and the four vanes (
DO NOT
at any time remove
the rotor). Wash vanes, end plate, and pump chamber with solvent (see above for correct type of
solvents to be used). Dry and reassemble.
DANGER:
TO PREVENT EXPLOSIVE HAZARD, DO NOT PUMP COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS
OR VAPORS WITH ANY SAS UNIT.
FOR MAXIMUM PUMP LIFE USE MINIMUM PRESSURE NEEDED TO DO THE JOB.
