‘The vacuum header from the con-
denser tank to pressing machines should
be the same size as the inlet connaction

for each model
Model RP-1: 2 inch
Model RP-2: 2 Inch
Model RP-S: 2 inch
Model RE-5: 2 1/2 inch
Model RP-8: 3 inch

Model AP -20: 3 inch Model RPD-50: 4 inch
‘The vacuum header should be pitched toward the tank 1" for every 10° of
header length. Branch pipe connections from the vacuum header tothe air
Valves on the pressing machines should 6e no less than 2" in szo,

Motor Instructions ~
Overload Caution -
Motor Heat
Instructions for electrical connec=
tiona, care and operation of the motor are attached to the motor. READ
‘THEM CAREFULLY. Koop instructions handy for future reterence. MOTORS
SHOULD BE CONNECTED BY AN EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN. An
‘approved starting switch with heater protection MUIST be used, Do not oper-
ate the vacuum unit before piping connections have been completed. It's
‘characteris of the exhauster (turbine) to be uncer heaviest load when inlet
{nd outlet are wide open. This is likely to overload and burn out the motor.
However, iit Is necessary to test the machine, close ofthe inet by means of
{cover or board placed over inlet opaning. MOTOR HEAT: Excessive motor
temperature is caused by improper wiring and by overioading. Follow wiring
{guide on motor nameplate wien connecting the motor. Keep dust and lint
‘Sut of motor - clean frequently.
NOTE: When changing motor for voltage in single phase motors, BE
‘SURE TO CHECK ROTATION after making the change.
NOTE: Single phase motors have thermal protection - either manual or
‘automatic reset 2s indicated.
‘GROUND INSTRUCTIONS: This product should be connected to a
‘rounded, metalie, permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding
terminal
Lubrication
Grease motor bearings, top and bot
tom, onee every 6-8 months. Uso high
temperature grease, ie, REMA SPECIAL
LUBRICANT. A tube of this grease is
enclosed ith your Rema Vacuum,
Remove grease plugs leading to the bearings and screw the tubs into the
‘greaseway. Squoeze a small amount cl groase into the raceway and replace
{he plug, NEVER USE A PRESSURE GUN! Additonal tues of grease may
be ordered from your distributor
CAUTION: Too much grease will create oxcessive fiction, cause undue
heat and will eventually destroy the bearing. Consult the motor instructions
‘which come with each Unit for further information
