The VP39 Rotary Vane Vacuum pump is one mean machine, so show it some love by ensuring it is routinely inspected and serviced every 3,000 hrs. The VP39 Rotary Vane Vacuum rebuild kit comes complete with everything you need, and while you’re at it, we all know that oil is the lifeline of a vacuum pump, so be sure to change it out with Ultragrade 19.
On a side note, when it comes to wet pumps – like rotary vane pumps – always be on the lookout for any oil contamination as it may become oxidized or contaminated by vapors.
