CAUTION: Subjecting this pump to low temperatures (below 4℃) may cause water pipes and/or jackets to burst. If a pump is located outside and subjected to freezing temperatures, disconnect the water inlet from its water supply. Cooling water in the water pipe and/or jackets should be blown out by compressed air.

4) Check for any looseness of screws or nuts, or for any disconnection of parts. Note: Should you have noticed any trouble or damage with the pump or its accessories, please immediately notify our distributor or contact ULVAC's International Department directly. - 4 -...
1) Remove the “Oil-Filler Cap” (See Fig. 4 ∼ 6) and make sure that the “Oil Drain Valve” is closed. 2) Fill the pump with ULVAC's specified oil (ULVOIL-R-7) until the oil level can be observed at the oil level window attached to the side of the pump. (See Pig. 4...
1) Connect the power lines to the motor terminals before fitting the belts. Check the fuses at the terminal. The fuses should be rated at the value shown in the following table. Type Motor Fuse PKS-016 2.2 kW (4P) PKS-030 3.7kW (4P) PKS-070 11kW (6P) 100A - 6 -...
3) Connect "oil feeding-solenoid valve" to the pump line to interlock with the pump. (Refer to Fig. 1) Fig. 1. Standard electrical connection Note: Separate wiring will eventually be, required if you use a motor rated at different line voltage and cycle from those for the solenoid. Make sure the proper voltage and current are supplied to both the motor and the solenoid coil.
3) The belt becomes slightly longer after it has been used. Adjust the tension of the belt once a week after the Start of operation. 4) The adjustment of the belt-tension should be made by shifting the motor base. Tighten adjusting nuts or bolts securely after such adjustments. Caution: Maintenance of proper belt tension is important.

It is recommendable to install a vacuum valve [A] between the equipntent and the pump. (See Fig. 2) [Fig. 2] Standard vacuum system piping for PKS When the pump stops, close vacuum valve [A] to keep the equipment under vacuum, then open leak valve [B] to vent the pump, thus preventing oil counter-flow within the pump.
Check the oil-feeding solenoid valve for proper operation. Note: If the pump does not rotate smoothly, do the following; Check the power supply Check the charged oil level. If the problem still persists, contact ULVAC or ULVAC's distributor. - 10 -...

70℃ at a room temperature of 20℃. If the oil temperature exceed 70℃ when the gas ballast valve is kept closed, some trouble might be suspected. Please stop the pump and contact ULVAC or ULVAC's distributor at once.
[ Fig. 3] 9. Ultimate Pressure "Ultimate Pressure" refers to the lowest attainable pressure of the pump. Therefore, this pressure should be measured under the most favorable conditions. It should be measured, using new pump oil, by means of a vacuum gauge installed at the inlet of the pump;...
10. Periodical Checking Check the following points periodically. 1) Check for looseness of bolts and nuts. 2) Check to see if the gas-ballast valve is properly operating. Check the wire net on the inlet port and clean it. Check the oil amount circulating and the degree of contamination through the transparent glass on the filter lid.
12. Vacuum Pump Oil for Low Temperature The specified oil is ULVOIL-R-7. In low temperatures (below about. 10℃) may experience difficulty with starting the pump. Therefore, cheek the following points carefully; belt tension, motor fuse, smoothness of rotation. If the pump still can not be started easily, despite normal behavior the above check points, try using ULVOIL-R-4 oil.
14. Pump Oil Characteristics Table (Table-1) shows the characteristics of pump oils. If you could not get the specified oil ULVOIL-R-7, you may use another kind of pump oil having almost the same characteristics as (Table-1). ROTARY VACUUM PUMP OIL [Table - 1] ULVOIL-R-4 ULVOIL-R-7...
