How to change the oil and filter on your Atlas Copco GVS 60 A vacuum pump
Regular maintenance helps keep your vacuum pump running smoothly. On this page we will guide you through how to change the oil and filter on your Atlas Copco GVS 60 A vacuum pump (all variants). We recommend using this tutorial alongside the instruction manual (6996022430) for this pump.
Before beginning any service on your vacuum pump, make sure to unplug it and let it cool to a handleable temperature.
Why is it important to maintain your vacuum pump?
Over time vacuum oil can become contaminated with particles and moisture, reducing its lubricating properties and causing increased wear on internal components. This can result in decreased pump efficiency, higher operating temperatures, and potentially create costly pump damage. By changing the oil and the filter, you remove all harmful build-up from within the system and decreases majority of the risk at low cost.
Neglecting these maintenance tasks may affect the warranty on your vacuum pump. This means that any repairs or replacements needed due to improper maintenance would not be covered, potentially leading to significant out-of-pocket expenses.
For this service you will need:
1. Strap wrench
2. Allen key set
3. 12mm spanner
4. Syringe
