U S E R ’ S I N S T R U C T I O N S 1) Ensure that the pump (or inlet extension filter) is in a clean uncontaminated air environment. o If clean air CANNOT be guaranteed at the pump inlet at all times, use the Inlet extension hose kit (P/N: 9700-65). See instructions on the Inlet extension kit below. 2) Ensure canister on the discharge filter assembly is firmly seated and secure before startup. o Discharge air passes through the HEPA outlet filter located inside the discharged filte

T O L E R A N C E S A N D W A R N I N G S Allegro ambient air pumps are precision pumps that have only .0015-.003 clearance between the top of the rotor and cylinder bore, and .003 or less clearance between end of the rotor and the end plate. Any thrust on the shaft such as mishandling or dropping the pump on its end will tend to close these clearances, causing the rotor to jam. Foreign particles, excessive dirt or dust build up may cause sluggish performance and eventual “jamming” of
