INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENTS
Lifting
Lift pump by eye bolts, if provided, or with slings around body of pump close to legs.
Mounting
Secure pump unit to at sturdy surface with four bolts, washers and lock washers, through
holes in the base of the pump legs.
RPM
Fruitland Vacuum Pumps should never exceed the RPM stated on the plate tag (pump damage
is possible). Pump may be run 20% slower than the stated RPM on the tag if required.
*Vacuum-Pressure Gauge:
Required to SAFELY operate and monitor the systems performance. Locate this gauge at an
Operational location and or after the primary and secondary shut-os/scrubbers to prevent
failure due to foreign material.
*Pressure & Vacuum Relief Valves:
Regulates the operating Pressure & Vacuum levels within the system. There should be a min-
imum of two of each relief valve within your system. One set of reliefs upon the tank and one
set of reliefs near the pump. All Relief Valves are rated per CFM (cubic feet per minute) and
must be sized accordingly to your vacuum pump system and as recommended by the vacu-
um tank manufacturer.
WARNING
Read Operations and Maintenance Manual fully before operating the
vacuum pump. Failure to do so may result in severe system damage
that may cause severe injury, death, and void the pumps warranty.
WARNING
AlwaysverifythecorrectReliefvalve settingswiththetankmanufacturer.
Failure to do so may cause catastrophic failure, injury and/or death.

Vacuum & Pressure Relief Adjustment
*Fruitland Pressure Relief - PART # PRV2”
Release the anti-rotation screw (1) - turn the upper ring (3) - ro-
tate clockwise - CW - to increase pressure OR rotate counter
clockwise - CCW - to decrease pressure in vessel.
When the desired pressure in the vessel is achieved, slightly turn
the upper ring (3) until the attened spot upon the wheel’s shaft
is achieved. Tighten the anti-rotation screw and the pressure re-
lief is now set.
Fruitland suggests this procedure and verication of your pres-
sure reliefs operation within your system are re-checked and or
set during your routine maintenance schedule for the tank and
truck.
*Fruitland Vacuum Relief - PART # VB
Remove the setting screw cover (1) - insert a at tip screwdriver into the incision and pry o
the cover carefully. Loosen the stop set nut (3) - hold rm the vacuum relief bell (2) - Turn the
bell clockwise - CW - to increase pressure and turn the bell counter clockwise - CCW - to re-
duce pressure in the vessel.
During this adjustment it is not necessary to hold the set nut stem (3) with a screwdriver.
When desired pressure in the vessel is achieved, tighten the stop set nut (3) - hold rm the
vacuum relief bell (2). Install the setting screw cover (1) - and the vacuum relief is now set.
To eliminate tampering with the adjusted setting of the vacuum relief - insert wire through
the screw cover (1) and then into bell (2) and connect wire with a permanent seal.
Fruitland suggests this procedure and verication of your pressure reliefs operation within
your system to be re-checked and or re-set during your routine maintenance schedule for the
tank and truck.

ATTENTION
All Fruitland Vacuum pumps should never run for a prolonged period
of time without air passing through the pump & system itself.
Incorporating vacuum & pressure relief valves is highly recommended
In addition to the incorporation of vacuum & pressure reliefs the outside of these valves,
vacuum pump housing, pump shroud and pumps cooling fan blades should, at all times be
kept clean of all debris to allow proper pump & system cooling.
Failure to allow air to be conveyed through your vacuum pump & system may result in severe
system damage that may cause severe injury, death, and void the pumps warranty.
SERVICE NOTE
USE AUTHENTIC FRUITLAND PARTS ONLY!

LUBRICATION & APPROVED OILS
Lubrication: If the suction temperature is >50°F (summer conditions), a SAE-40 non detergent
motor oil or an ISO 150 compressor oil can be used. If the suction temperature is <50°F (Winter
Conditions) a SAE-30 non detergent motor oil or an ISO 100 compressor oil is recommended.
Always check oil level before starting unit.
NEVER ALLOW OIL RESERVOIR TO
GET LOW!!!
Vacuum pumps dispose of and or consume oil during operation and
do not have a return within the system. All vacuum pumps will have
an oil sight glass, tube or dipstick. If a remote reservoir is used, verify that this
reservoir has oil. Always use the manufacturer’s recommended oil. The oil level
needs to be checked on a routine basis during the vacuum pumps operation.
All Pump Models
Oil Tank - Important! During routine cleaning & freezing weather, drain possible
condensation build-up in the bottom of the oil tank. Water can enter oil tank and be ingested
into the oil pump, this could cause the oil pump to freeze and damage the internal gears of the
oil pump. If you suspect water is present within the oil tank reservoir, drain and clean the oil
tank with diesel fuel.

These oils have been approved for use in Fruitland Vacuum Pumps. Use of these oils will
maintain the vacuum pump warranty as well as extend the life of the vacuum pump and
ensure proper performance and lubrication.
When operated properly, Fruitland vacuum pumps will run cooler, use less oil
and provide much longer service than any other rotary vane vacuum pump.
*Monolec Compressor Oil is colored red and should not be confused with transmission uid.
¹ Recommended for the best performance and lubrication at all temperature levels.
