17. VP1000 VANE & ROTOR SERVICE & REPLACEMENT GUIDE <br /> Caution Disconnect power before beginning service. <br /> 1. The work area must be clean and have sufficient lighting. Notch <br /> 2. Disconnect the vapor piping connected to the IN and OUT ports of <br /> the VP1000 cover assembly. Figure 1 <br /> 3. Remove the four Allen head screws and lock washers that secure VP1000VRC <br /> the pump cover assembly to the pump housing and remove the Carbon Rotor <br /> cover carefully. (Obsolete) <br /> Caution Use a spill cloth when removing the cover, as there <br /> • may be some gasoline inside the pump cavity. <br /> Shaft Key <br /> 4. Carefully turn the rotor assembly by hand until the shaft key notch <br /> is at the 12 o'clock position. (See Figures) Vane <br /> 5. Remove the rotor, vanes and shaft key from the pump housing. <br /> Note: Place your hand or a container under the rotor while <br /> removing. Do not use any sharp objects that would scratch <br /> the surfaces of the pump cavity, pump shaft, rotor, or vanes. <br /> 6. Rotate the shaft by hand. If the shaft does not rotate freely, <br /> the entire vacuum pump needs replacement(p/n VP1000-5 or Notch <br /> RVP1000-5). Figure 2 <br /> 7. If the rotor and vanes are cracked, chipped, excessively worn or VP1000VRC-P <br /> excessively dirty, the rotor and vanes should be replaced because Enhanced Carbon <br /> cleaning will not remedy these conditions (p/n VP1000VRC-G, Fiber Rotor <br /> VP1000VRC-P or VP1000VRC). (limited availability) <br /> 8. If there is no visible damage, use a lint-free cloth with isopropyl <br /> alcohol to clean the rotor and vanes. <br /> 9. Using a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol, thoroughly clean: the Shaft Key <br /> inside of the pump ring and rear of the pump cavity, the rotor shaft, <br /> and the inside of the pump cover. <br /> Vane <br /> 10. Reposition the shaft (if necessary) so that the shaft key notch is <br /> in the 12 o'clock position. Install the cleaned original or new shaft <br /> key onto the shaft. <br /> 11. Carefully install the cleaned original or new rotor onto the shaft <br /> followed by the cleaned original or new vanes into the rotor. <br /> Note: The rotor assembly should slide on to the shaft easily, without <br /> excessive force. (Rotors and vanes are reversible) Notch <br /> 12. Lightly lubricate and install the new O-Ring for the pump housing. <br /> Figure 3: <br /> Note: Do not allow any lubricant to get inside the pump housing. VP1000VRC-G <br /> 13. Install the pump cover using the four Allen head screws and lock Enhanced <br /> washers removed in step 3 and cross tighten. Glass-Fiber Rotor <br /> Note: Use caution when sliding the pump cover over the O-Ring <br /> _D <br /> seal to prevent cutting or tearing. <br /> 14. Re-connect the vapor piping to the IN and OUT ports of the pump �—Shaft Key <br /> cover assembly that was removed in Step 2. <br /> 15. Re-apply power. Test for normal operation.
