Use Of The Pump; Set Up Operation/Transport - Refco RL-2 Mode D'emploi

Use of the pump

The REFCO vacuum pumps have been especially designed and manufactured for the
evacuation of closed vessels and units in the field of refrigeration and air-conditioning.
The pump must always be operated by a qualified professional technician!
m This pump should only be operated by qualified personnel.
Suitable protective equipment like gloves, goggles and safety footwear should be
worn when working with refrigeration systems.
m The vacuum pump should not be exposed to rain, or used in wet or damp conditions.
m The vacuum pump must only be used in the field of refrigeration and air-conditio-
ning and must not be used, built in or mounted into other appliances and applications.
m The vacuum pump must not be used as a compressor or to build up pressure with
air or other gases.
m The vacuum pump must not be operated in flammable environments or places
where explosive gas could be present.
m The vacuum pump must not be used in connection with aggressive liquids and gases
such as i.e. ammonia or pure oxygen which could cause damage to parts and compo-
nents of the pump.
m Combustible refrigerants such as i.e. R600a, R600, R290, must be vented through the
exhaust to the outside of buildings by means of a venting hose (see accessories).
m The vacuum pump must not be used to pump liquids such as i.e. water, fuels, oils,
beverages, other liquid food, liquid refuse or faeces.

Set up operation/transport

The vacuum pumps supplied without electrical plug must be equipped with an electrical
triple-pole plug according to the norms and regulations of the country where the vacuum
pump will be used. The plug must be fitted by a trained professional. The electrical power
supply, with which the vacuum pump will be run, must be in accordance with the voltage
and frequency indicated on the rating plate of the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump must
only be connected to a fused electric installation.
The vacuum pump is supplied without oil filling. The yellow oil plug must be removed and
after filling replaced by the oil mist filter (Pos. 19). The provided oil (DV-44/DV-45) must
be filled to half level of the oil sight glass (Pos. 20).
m Only fill oil up to half level of the oil sight glass. Refit the oil mist filter (Pos. 19) after
filling.
m Remove the flare cap from the intake port to start the pump (with model RL-8 also turn
the ball valve to open position). Connect the charging hose to the intake port as soon
as the pump motor reaches full speed.
m Running the pump without being connected to a system and pulling vacuum will result
in extensive exhaust of oil mist through the oil mist filter.
