How to use the major service kit

3 How to use the major service kit
WARNING
The blade material contains glass fibres which could be hazardous to health if inhaled. Obey the
safety precautions when you fit the blades.

CAUTION
Do not use hydrocarbon oil in pumps normally filled with perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluid. PFPE pumps are
identified by the code FF on their identification plates. Roller bearings supplied in this Major Service Kit are
pre-packed with hydrocarbon oil. You must wash out these bearings with a suitable cleaning fluid (to remove all
trace of the hydrocarbon oil) before using these roller bearings in FF type pumps.

When appropriate, refer to the instruction manual for information about routine maintenace of the pumps.

1. Disconnect the rotary pump from the electrical supply and allow it to cool.

2. Drain the oil from the rotary pump. Unscrew the bolts which secure the oil box and remove the oil box.

3. Remove any debris from inside the oil box. Clean all surfaces with a suitable cleaning fluid.

4. Dismantle the rotary pump and, referring to Figure 1 and 4 as appropriate, replace the relevant components
with those in the Major Service Kit. Refer to the special instruction Step 5 to 8 for replacing the pump blades.
Clean all exposed surfaces with a suitable cleaning fluid.

5. Fit new HV and LV rotary pump blades.

Check that the clearance between each new blade and its rotor slot is between 0.075 mm and 0.145 mm. If the
clearance is less than this, use the procedure in Step 6 and 7 below to rub down the blades: if the clearance is
correct, continue at Step 8.

6. Remove the new HV and LV blades: rub down these blades as described below:

z Where possible, work out of doors or in a well-ventilated area.

z Before you rub down the new blades, dampen the surfaces of the blades with pump oil. Keep the blades
moistened with pump oil while you rub down the blades.

z Place the blades on a flat metal work surface when you rub down the blades.

z Use a piece of emery paper to rub down the blades; the piece of emery paper must be larger than the
blade to ensure that you obtain an even finish.

z Apply an even pressure over all of the blade when you rub it down.

z When you have finished, seal all waste (emery paper, old blades and any paper or cloth which you have
used to clean the blades and the work surface) inside a plastic bag. Place this bag inside a second plastic
bag; seal the bag.

z Dispose of the waste bag at a licenced waste disposal facility.

7. Refit the new HV blades and check that clearances are now correct.

8. Fit the two new oil pump blades and the new blade spring.

9. Re-fit the oil box to the pump. Use the new oil box gasket from the kit. Fill the rotary pump oil box with the
correct quantity of new oil.

10. The kit contains a warning label (item 196). If this is not already in place, remove the backing strip from the
label. Stick the label on the top of the oil box close to the exhaust outlet, see Figure 3.

11. Connect the electrical supply and switch on the rotary pump. Check that the oil level in the sight glass at the
end of the rotary pump drops by 3 to 5 mm when the pump is started. If this does not happen, refer to the rotary
pump Instruction Manual.

12. Open the gas ballast valve and run the rotary pump for at least one hour.
