INTRODUCTION
Each ELIMINATOR® vacuum pump has been factory tested to guarantee 25 microns (25,400 Microns = 1 Inch of Hg) or better, and listed CFM performance. The serial number has been recorded. Complete and mail the enclosed Warranty Registration Card or register online at www.jbind.com to validate your warranty.
NOTE : ELIMINATOR® pumps are not to be used on Ammonia or Lithium Bromide (salt water) systems. Pump maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Pump and oil must be above 30°F. Line voltage must be equal to motor nameplate
±10%. Normal operating temperature is approximately 160°F, which is hot to the
touch. Line voltage and ambient conditions can slightly affect this. Motor has
automatic resetting thermal overload protection.
The ELIMINATOR® is designed for continuous duty and will run for extended periods without overheating.
International Dual Voltage Pump
ELIMINATOR® -250 Series models feature a dual voltage motor with switch and
removable, interchangeable power cord. Specify US, EU, UK, AU or BR plug type.
Spark-Proof Pump
ELIMINATOR® -250SP Series models feature a spark-proof, dual voltage motor
with switch and removable, interchangeable power cord for use with A2L
refrigerant gases such as R32 and 1234yf, DV-6E-250SP.
OPERATION
The following procedures will prevent oil from being drawn into the pump cartridge and creating hard start-up.
Start-up: Close both sides of manifold and make connection to vacuum pump
or auxiliary blank-off equipment. Start pump.
Shutdown: Crack open unused port to break vacuum. Allow pump to run 2-3
seconds. Shutdown and remove hose connections and cap intakes.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
In order to make the best use of your investment, familiarize yourself with the features and operating instructions before starting pump. With routine care and following proper maintenance guidelines, your ELIMINATOR® will give you years of reliable service. ELIMINATOR® pumps are designed for deep vacuum work in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
Adding Oil
Step 1: Slowly add oil until level rises to the top of the oil level
line. (Figure 1)
Step 2: Replace oil fill plug.
If oil level is too low, you will hear air out of the exhaust. If oil level is too high, excess oil will be blown out of the exhaust.
IMPORTANT: Use oil specifically refined for deep vacuum pumps. Using oil not refined for deep vacuum pumps and/or operating with contaminated oil will void warranty.
Pump oil should be changed after each use. If system is heavily contaminated, oil may have to be changed several times during evacuation. After initial fill up, it is best to check oil level with pump running.
After evacuation, oil contains rust forming water and corrosive acids. Drain immediately while pump is warm.
Changing Oil
To reach deep vacuum, ELIMINATOR® pumps need clean, moisture-free oil throughout evacuation. Care should be taken to avoid contact on skin and clothing when changing oil. Used oil should be disposed of in the DV-T1 TANK Oil Caddy after every evacuation while the pump is warm and the oil is thin.
Step 1: Place the TANK on a level surface. Unscrew black plug in drain
base\ to open.
Step 2: Place vacuum pump in the cradle and drain pump.
Step 3: When pump has finished draining, replace black plug. The TANK can
hold up to five oil changes.
Step 4: Close oil drain valve on pump. Remove oil fill plug and fill to
top of oil level line with BLACK GOLD Pump Oil (Figure 1). Replace oil fill
plug.
Flushing Oil
Step 1 : Always drain pump before flushing. If the oil is badly
contaminated, flushing may be necessary.
Step 2: Slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of BLACK GOLD Pump Oil into the intake
connection while pump is running.
Step 3 : Repeat as required until contamination is removed from oil
reservoir, pump rotors, vanes and housing.
Step 4 : Dispose of all oil used in flushing of pump.
WARNING: DO NOT START PUMP BEFORE ADDING OIL

B. Motor switch not on
C. Pump temperature below 30°F
D. Pump has not been shut down properly| A. Plug power cord in
securely
B. Turn motor switch to ON position
C. Warm up pump to 30°F and turn motor switch on
D. Follow proper start up and shut down procedures
Pump won’t pull deep vacuum In order for your pump to pull to a near
perfect vacuum, oil must be clean and moisture-free throughout evacuation.|
A. Contaminated oil
B. Oil level too low
C. Air leak in system being evacuated
D. Pump inlet fittings missing or not tightened
E. Coupler slipping
F. Missing or damaged seals or o-rings| A. Change oil
B. Add oil
C. Locate and repair leak(s)
D. Clean or replace o-ring
E. Tighten coupler set screws to flats of cartridge and motor
F. Replace damaged seals or o-rings
Oil drips from point where shaft enters the pump
housing| Damaged shaft seal| Replace shaft seal
Pump shuts down and will not start| A. Thermal overload may be open|
A. Step 1: Disconnect pump from system
Step 2: Wait approximately 15 minutes for motor to cool
Step 3: Turn pump on
Step 4: If it cycles off again, return for repair
Pump cycles on and off from a completely cold start and then
runs smoothly| A. Oil backed up into cartridge and was being
cleared out
B. Pump has not been shutdown properly| Step 1: Remove 1/4″ cap
Step 2: Turn pump on
Motor just hums| If pump has been dropped, the armature in motor may be
out of alignment with the motor’s bell housing| Step 1: Set pump on bench
with motor standing up
Step 2: Loosen the four motor bolts
Step 3: Shake motor and re-tighten motor bolts
Step 4: Start pump
If this doesn’t work, the pump most likely will need to be sent in for repair.
Motor runs, but no suction| A. Flexible coupler is either broken or
loose| Step 1: Set pump on bench with motor standing up
Step 2: Look between motor and pump housing from the bottom to see if the
flexible part of the coupler is split or broken.
If the coupler is not broken, the coupler may be spinning on either the shaft
to motor or cartridge.
