How to perform minor maintenance on your GVS 200 R & GVS 300 R vacuum pump
Today we will walk through the minor maintenance procedure for our GVS 200 R and GVS 300 R vacuum pumps. Performing this service regularly will help to keep your vacuum pump running smoothly and efficiently achieving the required vacuum.
We recommend using these guides alongside the vacuum pump instruction manual (2031000375).
How does regular service save you in the long run?
While not completing service in line with the recommended intervals might seem less expensive at first, it leads to additional thermal or abrasion stress on oil, vanes and motors leading to high and unpredictable long-term expense. Also, neglecting these maintenance tasks may affect the warranty on your vacuum pump. This means that some repairs or replacements needed due to improper maintenance would not be covered, potentially leading to significant out-of-pocket expenses.
What to know before you start vacuum service
Turn off the electrical supply to your vacuum pump before any interaction. This gives the pump time to cool to a safe handling temperature. This takes approximately 1 hour.
