BROWN 3 BROWN 6 LINE LINE To use the gas ballast feature Moisture from the A C R system carried into the pump as a vapor tends to condense into a liquid and combine with the vacuum pump oil When moisture contaminates pump oil it reduces the pump s ability to reach its ultimate deep vacuum The gas ballast valve purges a small amount of atmospheric air through the exhaust chamber This extra volume of air mixes with the vapor from the refrigerant system to prevent condensation and to help exhaust moisture in the form of vapor from the pump To use the gas ballast start the pump and open the gas ballast valve The valve is located beside the handle opposite the inlet fitting When the system has reached approximately 1000 3000 microns close the gas ballast valve to allow the pump to pull down to its ultimate vacuum level The gas ballast valve may be opened or closed at any time during pump operation It is fully open at two turns counterclockwise Note Robinair recommends the use of a thermistor vacuum gauge to most accurately measure vacuum levels To shut down the pump To help prolong pump life and promote easy starting follow these procedures for shutdown 1 Close the manifold valve between the pump and the system 2 Turn the Iso Valve to the CLOSED position 3 Remove the hose from the pump inlet 4 Turn the pump power switch to OFF then OPEN the Iso Valve for a few seconds to
