Masport Vacuum Pumps
INTENDED USE
PRIMARY SHUT-OFF: Prevents liquid in the tank from overflowing into the system
and entering the pump. Liquid entering the pump can damage or destroy the pump.
SECONDARY MOISTURE TRAP (SCRUBBER): Removes liquid still in the air
stream after passing through the primary shut-off. The Scrubber should be drained after
every load.
VACUUM/PRESSURE GAUGE: Required to properly monitor the performance of
the system. It should be located between the Scrubber and the Pump (the clean side of
the pump) to prevent gauge failure due to foreign material.
VACUUM RELIEF VALVE: Governs the operating vacuum level. It should be
installed at the pump so that if a liquid level trap is activated or a hose collapses the
pump is not allowed to deadhead which can result in overheating and pump failure.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: Regulates the amount of pressure in the system. It
should be located between the Scrubber and the Pump (the clean side of the pump).
CAUTION! Operating your system without a properly installed pressure relief valve in good working order could lead to equipment damage or catastrophic failure resulting in severe injury.
INLET FILTER: Prevents small particulate matter from entering the pump. This filter should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly.
OIL SEPARATOR (OIL CATCH MUFFLER): Removes oil from the pump exhaust. It is equipped with a ball valve at the bottom and should be drained at least once a day.
OPTIONAL ODOR CONTROL (MASPORT PUMPER SCENT): Reduces objectionable odor from the exhaust air.
PUMP DRIVEThe pump can be driven from either of the two shafts to accommodate a clockwise or a counterclockwise drive system. There is an arrow cast into the pump housing and/or the valve housing indicating proper pump rotation. The pump must always rotate in the direction of the arrow.

Troubleshooting Your Pump 101 from Masport
The Pump Overheats
Potential causes to check and resolve:
- Inadequate level of oil, or no oil in the pump.
- RPM in excess of recommended levels.
- Continued operation above recommended maximum vacuum and pressure levels.
- Blocked Inlet Filter.
- Pump is covered in mud and/or dirt.
- Plumbing diameter is of an insufficient size.
- Blockage in exhaust.
The Rotor does not Rotate
Potential causes to check and resolve:
- Damaged vane(s).
- Damaged bearing(s).
- Issue with the drive system.
- Ice frozen inside the pump.
The Pumps Performance is Impaired
Potential causes to check and resolve:
- Four-way valve is in the neutral position.
- Worn vanes.
- Worn shaft seals.
- Leaks in the tank or pipework.
- Plumbing diameter is of an insufficient size.
- Non-return valve is blocked and does not open fully.
- Blocked Inlet Filter.
- RPM rate below recommended level.
- Collapsed hose in the system setup.
- Blockage in exhaust.
