oil reservoir) to check the oil level. Add oil,
as needed, through the dipstick port. The
oil in the reservoir requires periodic refilling
because the pump consumes oil in the
process of lubrication.

Use only OEM recommended types and
brands of oil for your pump. Table 3.1 lists
the manufacturer recommended lubricants
for the Masport HXL3V and Conde Model
6 vacuum pump supplied with your slide-in
unit. If you have difficulty obtaining
manufacturer recommended oil, contact
Satellite about its availability.
• Add grease at the grease fitting on the
front endplate (just above the output shaft)
this fitting provides grease to the bearings.
It is important not to over grease the pump
bearings. Use only one or two pumps on
the grease gun when greasing.
` NOTICE: Check the oil level in the rear
housing at regular intervals. Allowing the
pump to run low on oil during operation will
result in damage to the pump.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over grease
the pump bearings. Over greasing can
cause damage to the seals.
Vacuum / Pressure Control Handle
On your Masport HXL3V and Conde
Model 6 vacuum pump, locating the
control handle in the center of its travel
will cause the pump to operate in a
neutral free flow mode.
In addition, use the control handle to
select either the vacuum or pressure
modes. Figure 3.7 details the handle
position in relation to the pump
orientation for vacuum and pressure
functions. You can also observe the
vacuum/pressure gauge to verify which
mode you are operating in.

procedure, you are ready to operate your
vacuum pump. The Gasport or Conde
pump on your portable slide-in unit is
driven by an 8 hp Honda gas engine.
Before starting the engine, position the
vacuum / pressure control handle on the
pump in the neutral position.
Next, move the throttle lever on the gas
engine away from the SLOW position,
about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST
position and start the gas engine to put
the pump into operation. Make sure the
pump is running smoothly by listening for
a pump sound with minimum vibration
.
If the engine is not running fast enough,
the vanes in the vacuum pump rotor will
not have enough centrifugal force to keep
them expanded in the rotor slots. This will
result in excessive vibration as the vanes
