Conair PD3 - Manual (Page 8)

To maintain the best performance, you should follow the
maintenance recommendations outlined here and in any
included manuals from component manufacturers.
● Weekly, or as often as needed
❒
Check and clean the pump inlet filter.
An inlet filter has been provided to protect the pump
from solid material that can enter and damage the pump
impellers. material can enter the vacuum line if a loader
filter is improperly installed or if if has a hole in it.
Replace the pump inlet filter if it is torn or worn.
❒
Check all V/belts.
The V/belts have a tendency to stretch, so an adjustable
motor base is provided. Keep belts tight to prevent slip-
page and wear. Do not use belt dressings.
● Every 500 hours of operation
❒
Grease the pump.
Use No. 2 bearing grease or the equivalent. Refer to
manuals from the component manufacturer for
additional information and instructions.
● Every 1500 hours of operation
❒
Change the oil.
The vacuum pump has been filled with the proper oil
and tested by Conair before shipment. Even so, this oil
should be changed periodically. Use SAE 40 regular
or an equivalent oil.
● Every three months
❒
Check motor bearings and grease, if necessary.
The motor is equipped with double-shielded ball
bearings having sufficient grease to last indefinitely
under normal service. But if the motor is used
constantly in dirty, wet or corrosive atmospheres,
you should add 1/4 oz. of grease per bearing every three
months. Use a quality, rust-inhibiting, polyure-based
grease such as Chevron SRI. Refer to the motor manual
for additional instructions.
