Oil Catch Muffler
The oil catch muffler collects oil expelled
from the vacuum pump and reduces
pump noise.
Drain the oil catch muffler daily by
opening the drain at the base of the
muffler chamber. You may need to drain
the muffler more frequently when
subjecting the pump to heavy use.
Properly dispose of the used oil. DO
NOT reuse it.
Furthermore, anytime that you notice that
water has collected in the oil catch
muffler, dry out the vacuum pump interior
using the procedure outlined on page 18.
Fill Indicator
Your Portable Slide-in Unit comes with a
sight tube and a fill indicator (Figure 3.4).
The sight tube displays the liquid level in
the freshwater compartment and displays
the liquid level in the sewage
compartment.
Load and Dump Valves
Your slide-in unit comes with manual load
and dump valves (Figures 3.5 and 3.6).
Use the handle mounted to each valve to
open and close it.
To allow for easy coupling and
uncoupling of the vacuum or discharge
hose, both the load and the dump valves
are equipped with cam lock-fittings.
There is a cam lock fitting cover for the
dump valve. When the discharge hose is
uncoupled, place this cover over the dump
valve opening to keep dirt and debris from
collecting in it.
Because dumping arrangements vary
widely from one operation to another,
discharge hose is not included with your
slide-in unit. Based upon your specific
requirements, procure the correct length
of 3” discharge hose and a 3” cam lock
attachment to couple to the discharge
outlet.
