Under normal operation, the RapidVap requires little
maintenance. The following maintenance schedule is
recommended:
As needed:
1. Clean up all spills; remove liquids from chamber.
2. Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or
chamois and a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent.
Weekly:
1. If the vacuum pump contains oil, check the
condition and level. If the oil level is low, add oil.
If the oil contains excessive amounts of moisture,
detected by a cloudiness in the oil, it will be
necessary to change the oil. For further information
regarding procedures for changing the vacuum
pump oil, refer to the vacuum pump manufacturer’s
instructions. To expel small amounts of water that
may have accumulated in the pump oil, periodically
operate the vacuum pump against a dry, leak-tight
system. The gas ballast must be open.
