A well maintained vacuum pump works harder, lasts longer and costs less to run. Most problems we see in the workshop could have been avoided with a few minutes of care each day.
Daily checks
- Check the oil level before starting the pump.
- Drain the moisture trap and secondary shut-off.
- Listen for unusual noise or vibration during the first minute.
Weekly checks
- Clean the inlet filter and check for blockages.
- Inspect hoses and seals for leaks.
- Check belts or drive couplings for wear and correct tension.
Monthly and service checks
Follow the service schedule in the pump manual and use only genuine spare parts. Genuine vanes, seals and bearings are made to the right tolerances and protect the pump from early wear.
Never run the pump without oil, even for a short test. A few seconds of dry running can damage internal parts.
