Section III Installation The water going to the unit acts as a pump sealant and cooling agent. When the vacuum pump is in operation, the water supply must be on at all times. The plumber supplies and installs a /" gate valve on the water supply line. Connect the 3/8" nylon tubing and fittings, which are supplied with the unit, as illustrated (Figure 3). Figure 3. Water supply line connection Vacuum lines must be installed by a local plumber in accordance to local building codes. All vacuum lines and risers are recommended to be PVC, SCH. 0. Type M copper should be used if local code does not allow the use of PVC. Care should be taken to slope the lines " for every 0' of run toward the vacuum pump(s). This allows waste and liquids to flow with gravity, contributing to the efficiency of the vacuum system. Make all connections using long radius sweep fittings. To promote unrestricted flow of air and waste liquids through the vacuum lines, directional flow connections should be used. Using 5 elbows for turns or avoiding obstructions is best; however, do not make a trap in the line; doing so will decrease the efficiency of the system. 3 3 5 5 Water Supply Line Vacuum Line * Water Line * Valve, Gate, Brass, /" 3 6560 Bushing, Brass, /" MIP 3/8" FIP 650067 Adapter, Brass, 3/8" MIP 3/8" Tube 5 6 ft. 66806 Tube, Nylon, 3/8" * Plumber Supplies All elbows and tees should be sized for the main line and sized down with bushing reducers to accommodate smaller lines.

Section IV Operation & Care General Operation RAMVAC vacuum pumps are designed to provide a vacuum source for use by dental professionals in the dental operatory. The main purpose of the vacuum is to evacuate the oral cavity. The Dual Wet Vacuum can be operated from the operatory using an optional low-voltage conversion kit and low-voltage switches, making a convenient way to turn the pumps on or off as needed, plus saving water and electricity. In some installations, where two or more doctors are using the vacuum system, it may be necessary to leave the evacuator on throughout the working day. The pumps are designed to handle heavy workloads and are rated for continuous operation. If the evacuator operates for extended periods of time, proper ventilation is important. Installations in small, confined areas should be supplied with a ventilation system capable of keeping the air temperature around the pump at 0 C/0 F. Maintenance Schedule WARNING Prior to performing any maintenance, proper precautions should be taken to reduce the possibility of contact with infectious substances. A minimum amount of maintenance is required to keep the Dual Wet Vacuum in top running condition. The motor and pump assemblies require no lubrication. For best performance results, adhere to the following maintenance schedule: Daily Maintenance Flush Vacuum Plumbing System NOTE: Check the treatment room solids separator routinely and clean when dirty. Barracuda TM Dual User Manual. Just before turning off the RAMVAC, rinse vacuum lines first with hot water - approximately one quart through each high volume line and a few ounces through each saliva ejector line.. Aspirate a few ounces of a dental vacuum line cleaner through each vacuum line. SlugBuster TM is highly recommended. After Surgical Procedures Aspirate a few ounces of an appropriate vacuum line cleaner, such as SlugBuster TM, through the lines. For Overhead Plumbing Be sure to allow air to follow liquids before closing vacuum valves. Cleaners Cleaners should have these qualities: Non-foaming Deodorizing Sanitizing ph between 6 and 8 CAUTION IMPORTANT: Use of line cleaners outside of this ph range will void the warranty. CAUTION Foam may cause damage to the pump. Avoid interruptions by insuring your cleaner is truly non-foaming. Test by shaking the mixed solution. True non-foamers will be bubble free.

Reinstall the impeller onto the shaft with the flat side facing the motor. Torque the impeller to 380 in. lbs. 7. Install the flex loc nut. Torque the nut to 60 ft. lbs. 8. Align the housing so that the small elbow is opposite the electrical box mounting hole in the motor. Housing/Impeller Spacing. To properly space the impeller to the housing, slide two or three.03" shims between the housing and the motor at one corner (Figure 6). Figure 6.. Slide other shims of various sizes diagonally across from the corner in Step, until the impeller is snug with the housing. 3. Remove and add up all the sizes of the shims used. EXAMPLE: A total of.00" is used, divide that by to obtain.050". Use this amount minus an additional.005" for HP pumps and.00" for HP pumps for each corner. NOTE: For further explanation, see Shimming Procedure, page 3.. Apply Loctite 3 to the retained 3/8-6 bolt threads. Install bolts and required shims. Torque screws to 390 in. lbs (Figure 7).
