OPERATION

The main components of your Portable

Slide-in Unit are detailed in Figure

3.1.This illustration provides an

introduction to the components on

your slide-in that are referred to

throughout this manual.

Operation Safety

Operating vacuum tanks, and pumping

septic effluent, involves potential hazards.

Before operating your portable slide-in

unit, you must understand and follow all

of the safety precautions in this manual.

Hazards frequently encountered in

pumping include dangerous chemicals,

exposure to bacteria, explosive

atmospheres, falls, high-pressure water

jets, rotating drivelines, and poisonous

gasses. Because each pumping job is

unique, you may experience other

hazards as well.

When dangerous situations arise, it is

your responsibility to make sure that no

harm comes to persons, equipment, or

the surrounding environment. Make sure

that your job site is secured and safe for

others both when you carry out the job

and when the job is complete.

Vacuum Relief Valve

The vacuum relief valve serves to

safeguard against vacuum pump

damage. It is located in the airline circuit

just above the vacuum pump (Figure 3.1).

The vacuum relief valve is factory set to

18 Hg. This is the maximum continuous

vacuum rating (MCVR) of the vacuum

pump. This vacuum level also generates

the recommended maximum limit on

horsepower draw for the engine.

If you notice that the vacuum relief valve

is not relieving vacuum when your tank

reaches 18 Hg, you might need to reset

it. Use the following procedure to set the

valve:

1. Loosen the locking nut located near

the top of the vacuum relief valve.

Rotate the inner cylinder clockwise one

to two revolutions to reduce the setting

at which the valve opens. Retighten the

locking nut after making the adjustment.

2. Run the pump in the vacuum mode,

and check to see if the valve opens at

the MCVR as listed above.

3. Repeat steps one and two until you

attain the proper setting.

` NOTICE: DO NOT run your vacuum

pump above the pump manufacturer’s

maximum continuous vacuum rating.

Exceeding the maximum vacuum rating

could cause damage to the pump and/or

unit.
