1.1 General safety instructions

ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire. Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety in- structions properly. Service and maintenance: 1 Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any adjustment, maintenance or repair. 2 Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replace- ment parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device. Working safely: 1 Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents. 2 Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use elec- tric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion. 3 Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices). 4 Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the elec- tric tool or its cable. Keep them away from the work area. 5 Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children. 6 Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range indicated. 7 Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs. 8 Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long hair. 9 Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates dust. 10 Connect the dust extraction equipment. If there are connections to dust extraction and collection equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used. 11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended. Never use the cable to pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. 12 Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it more securely than your hand can. 13 Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance. 14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the elec- tric tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized expert. Regularly check extension cords and replace them if they are damaged.

1.2 Special safety instructions

Unit is intended for operator professionally well trained, he must know refrigeration foundamen- tals, cooling systems, refrigerants and possible damages that equipments under pressure could cause. Read carefully instructions in the literature, strict observance of procedures is main condition for operator safety, constant declared performances and unit undamaging. Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerant; avoid contact with refrigerant, blind- ness and injuries may result to operator. Keep away from flames and hot surfaces; high temperature decomposes refrigerant releasing toxic contaminants very dangerous for environment and operator. Avoid skin contact; refrigerant has a very low boiling temperature (approx. -18°C / -3°F) and freezing may occurs. Avoid inhaling vaporized refrigerant gas; it has a narcotic effect. Vacuum pump must always be suitably earthed. Even if the pump temperature is not expected to rise a high level during use, it is advisable to lo- cate the unit so that users cannot make contact with the casing, as burns may result. Vacuum pump is air cooled with integral fan; use only where air can freely circulate. During operations, do not vent refrigerant in environment. 2 Material included 1 x Vacuum pump 1 x Cable 1 x Mineral oil bottle 1 x Connector 1/4” SAE – F – 5/16” SAE – M 1 x Connector 1/4” SAE – F – 3/8” SAE – M 1 x Instructions for use 3 Description (A – B – C) Vacuum pump for air evacuation of closed systems (air conditioners, tanks, etc). This equipment is specially designed for HVAC&R systems. The two Stages of these pumps make it feasible to achieve the final vacuum level requested for these type of systems. Besides, the solenoid non-return valve avoids any oil mixture due to the backflow after a power interruption or any other process interruption.ENGLISH 13 Overview:

The noise level during operation can exceed 85 dB (A). Wear ear protection! Measured values determined in accordance with EN 61029-1:2010. 5 Set-up of pump before first operation Pump is supplied without oil charge; before initial operation, it is mandatory to fill the pump with the recommended oil charge. Filling of oil Pump must be turned off for filling the oil and level control. Pump is supplied with a mineral oil bottle but without oil charge inside the vacuum pump; before initial operation, it is mandatory to fill the pump with the oil up to the indicated oil level in the oil level sight glass. Only use ROTHENBERGER oil; different lubricants reduce performance and may cause irreversible damage to the pump. Warranty is void if other oil has been used. For fill-up proceed as follows: Unscrew charging plug (placed on upper part of pump) Slowly add the oil until middle of sight glass has been reached (indicated by MAX MIN line) Screw-on the plug again To avoid excessive filling, it is suggested to only add the oil with a graduated recipient; in that way it is easy to check the added volume. In case of excessive filling, it is necessary to com- pletely empty the pump and repeat the oil filling procedure.

WARNING: Do not pollute the environment by spilling oil; the lubricant oil is a special

waste and must be disposed of according to relevant local law / guidelines in force.14 ENGLISH Connection for evacuation Shorter hose length or wider ID, as well as straight path, reduce the evacuation time as the pump will reach the desired vacuum more quickly. To prevent backflow of lubricant from the pump into the evacuated system in case of unexpected power failure, a solenoid non-return valve is provided at the suction connection. Power Supply Always check the power supply; it has to comply with the data on the rating label on the pump. The pumps’ motor is equipped with a thermal overload protection with automatic reset and cuts off power supply at +130°C / +266°F. General precautions The pumps’ motor must always be suitably grounded. The pump temperature is not expected to rise to a very high level during operation; however it is advisable to locate the unit in such a way that no contact can be made, as it may cause burns. When using the pump with other equip- ment, it must be ensured that the pump is fixed properly and safe to use for the operator. The vacuum pump is air cooled by a built-in fan; only use it where the air can freely circulate and keep it away from walls or obstacles no less than 2” (5 cm). Do not cover the pump during oper- ation. 6 Operation To guarantee reliability and high level of quality, each pump is subjected to a rigorous testing and suitable preliminary running in before it leaves the factory. Constant performance and long operating life are assured by strictly observing the following procedures: Pump start Before the first initial run, it is mandatory to: Fill the pump with the provided oil (see section “filling of oil”). Before subsequent start-ups, always check the oil level before starting the pump. If neces- sary, top-up or replace the oil. Before connecting the pump to the system to be evacuated, check that there is no pressure inside. In case of connecting the pump with a pressurized system, the vacuum gauge may break. The vacuum gauge measures negatives pressures and get collapsed with positive pressures. Warranty is void if the pump is connected to a positive pressure. Connect the pump to the system to be evacuated by the necessary equipment (quality hos- es, quality manifolds, etc). The evacuation quality will be directly related to the way of con- nection and to the equipment quality. In case of malfunctioning, stop the pump and call the Service- After-Sales. Pump stop As the mixture of incompatible lubricants (pump oil and compressor oil) can lead to pump failure, installing a non-return solenoid valve at the suction connection is required (provided). In case of frequent on-off cycling, do not stop the pump but shut-off at the charging hose or manifold in- stead. 7 Routine maintenance Periodic and correct maintenance of the vacuum pump will ensure a long operation life and con- stant performance. Lubrication The oil provided with the pump has been specially formulated & manufactured to lubricate vacu- um pumps; it is special as it features minimum viscosity fluctuation when in use under a wide temperature range. The type of lubricant supplied with the pump allows the evacuation of sys- tems operating refrigerants. Working with ROTHENBERGER POE synthetic oil is also feasible. Both ROTHENBERGER oil types available after order. Volumes to be filled into the pumps are specified in section 1.1. Replace the oil charge no later than 20 hours of operation. Oil could be polluted by other oil, humidity, refrigerants, etc. It is mandatory to use oil in perfect conditions to assure a perfect performance of the pump.ENGLISH 15 Oil-change Over-used lubrication oil damages the pumps’ mechanism; make sure to replace oil as soon as it starts to turn cloudy. For conducting the oil-change, the pump must be switched off. For changing the oil proceed as follows: Unscrew the oil drainage plug located on the lower part of the pump Check that oil comes out completely from the pump Tightly screw the oil drainage plug back on Re-fill the pump with oil (see “Filling of oil”)

WARNING: Do not pollute the environment by spilling oil; the lubricant oil is a special

waste and must be disposed of according to relevant local law / guidelines in force.

8 Extraordinary maintenance / repair Conduct extraordinary maintenance or repair whenever serious faults occur such as overheat- ing, poor ultimate vacuum, persistent loudness / noise, blocked pump or any other irregular func- tioning. In that case, the pump needs to be disassembled, parts need to be cleaned, repaired or re- placed. Only qualified service staff shall carry out such maintenance or repair work; otherwise the warranty will be void. For any information please contact our Service-After-Sales. 9 Troubleshooting Problem Solution The pump doesn’t work Check that the pump is connected to the power supply. Check that the plug and cable are not damaged. Check that the power supply is suitable for the pump requirements (see the label of the pump). Check that the pump is filled up with oil (see section 2.1). Contact our Service-After-Sales. Overheating Check that the pump is filled up with oil (see section 2.1). Check that the pump is not covered and that air could flow easily. Check that the power supply is suitable for the pump requirements (see the label of the pump). Contact our Service-After-Sales. Poor ultimate vacuum Check that the pump has been working for the enough time. The final vacuum level is directly related with the time of performance. The time must be according to the volume to be evacuated. Check that there is no leak in the connection or in the system to be evacuated. Switch off the pump and check that the vacuum level re- mains. Check that all the connections and the equipment used are the appro- priate ones. Contact our Service-After-Sales. Persistent loud- ness / noise Check that there are no damages on the fan cover. Any impact on this area could affect the fan movement. Check that the pump is perfectly srewed. Contact our Service-After-Sales. Blocked pump Contact our Service-After-Sales.16 ENGLISH Oil overconsump- tion Check that the oil is ROTHENBERGER oil. Check that the drainage plug is perfectly closed and that there is no oil spill. Check that there is no leak in the connection or in the system to be evacuated. Open systems increase the oil consuption. Contact our Service-After-Sales. The vacuum gauge doesn’t move but the engine is running. Check that the pump sucks in air. If the pump sucks in air, it is possible that the vacuum gauge is damaged. If the pump does not suck in air, it is possible that the non-return solenoid valve is blocked. Contact our Service-After-Sales.
