mal responsibility of the carrier and should be reported

to them.

Identification
For model identification, see the nameplate mounted on
the side of the exhaust box.

Remove the nuts from the bottom of the box/crate and

pull the pump out of the container, then unscrew the
studs from the bottom of the rubber feet.

This manual is written to cover RA and RC versions of

models 0025, 0040, 0063, 0100, 0101 and 0250 with a
"C" or "E" appearing as the seventh character in the
model type number stamped into the nameplate. For
example, it would appear as follows:

The inlet port of the pump is covered with a plastic cap

prior to shipment to prevent dirt and other foreign material from entering the pump. Do not remove this cover
until the pump is actually ready for connection to your
system.

RAXXXX-CXXX-XXXX

1.2

When ordering parts, it is helpful to include the identification code stamped into the side of the cylinder as well
as the serial number from the nameplate.

The pump must be installed in a horizontal position on

a level surface so that the pump is evenly supported on
its rubber feet. Allow sufficient air space between the
pump and any walls or other obstructions; adequate
ventilation must be provided for the fans on the pump
and motor (i.e., do not locate the pump in a stagnant air
location).

Operating Principles
All reference (Ref. XXX) numbers listed in the text and
on illustrations throughout this manual are related to the
drawings and parts list shown later in this publication.

Whenever the pump is transported, be sure to drain the

oil prior to shipping to avoid vane breakage when
restarting the pump.

All R 5 Series, Single Stage, Rotary Vacuum Pumps are

direct-driven, air-cooled, oil-sealed, rotary vane pumps
that operate as positive displacement pumps. They
consist of a rotor positioned eccentrically in a cylindrical
stator (see Fig. 1). The rotor has three radially sliding
vanes which divide the pump chamber into three segments. When the rotor spins, centrifugal force pushes
the vanes, which glide in the slots, towards the wall of
the cylinder. The rotor has three vanes which divide the
pump chamber into three segments. The gas to be
pumped enters at the inlet port, passes through the inlet
screen and the open anti-suck-back valve into the
pump chamber. As the rotor rotates, the inlet aperture
is closed, the gas is compressed and forced out through
one-way valves between the pump cylinder and the
exhaust box. This operation is repeated three times
each revolution.

Do not tip the pump over if it is filled with oil.

Locate the pump for easy access to the oil sight glass
(Ref. 83) in order to inspect and control the oil level
properly. Allow clearance at the exhaust flange area to
provide service access to the exhaust filters.

INSTALLATION

1.1

Unpacking

Power Requirements

The schematic diagram for the electrical connection is

located in the junction box or on the nameplate of the
pump motor.
The motor must be connected according to the electrical codes governing the installation. The power supply
must be routed through a fused switch to protect the
motor against electrical or mechanical overloads. The
motor starter has to be set consistent with the motor
current listed on the motor nameplate.

All R 5 series pumps are designed to handle air.

Vapor in the air stream can be tolerated when the
pump is operated within certain operating parameters
as defined by Busch LLC Engineering (see Section
2.2 - Gas Ballast). When you desire to use the pump
on an air stream that contains vapors, contact Busch
LLC. Engineering for operating recommendations; otherwise, the warranty could be void.
1.0

Location

If the pump is supplied with a manual motor starter, it is

preset at the factory in accordance with the customers
specification. For other voltage requirements, contact
the factory for motor and/or starter information.
Note: See the motor manufacturers manual for startup maintenance of the motor.
Correct direction of rotation is marked by an arrow on
the motor fan housing and is counterclockwise when
looking at the motor from the motor's fan side.

Inspect the box and pump carefully for any signs of

damage incurred in transit. Since all pumps are ordinarily shipped FOB our factory, such damage is the nor2

CAUTION: The built-in, anti-suck-back valve
is not positive action; do not use it as a system check valve.

CAUTION: After the electrical connection

has been made, but before the pump is
filled with oil, the rotation of the motor
must be checked. Open the inlet port and
jog the motor briefly to make sure rotation
is correct. If it runs backwards and if it is
wired three phase power, reverse any two
leads of the three at the power connection.

Remove the plastic protective cap from the inlet port

prior to connection of the pump to the system. Vertical
connection of the vacuum line can be made directly to
the pump inlet (Ref. 260).
Type and size of the inlet connections of the R 5 Series
pumps are shown in the TECHNICAL DATA page 14.

1.4 Vacuum Connections and Drip Legs

Use a line size to the vacuum system that is at least as
large as that of the pump inlet. Smaller lines will result
in lower pumping speeds than the rated values.

If the gas that is pumped contains dust or other foreign

solid particles, a suitable inlet filter (10 micron rating or
less) should be connected to the inlet port. Consult the
factory for recommendations.

Install a drip leg and drain on the vertical pipe near the
pump inlet. Also, when installing discharge piping, a
drip leg should be installed. Drain the drip legs often to
remove any condensation which may have collected.

1.5

Oil Filling

The pump is shipped without oil. After level installation,

and after correct rotation has been established and with
the pump switched "off" and secured against accidental
start-up, fill the pump with the recommended vacuum
oil through the oil filling port (Ref. 88), observing the
"MAX" and "MIN" position at the oil sight glass (Ref.
83).

If more than one vacuum pump or a receiver tank is

connected to a common main line, each pump should
have its own manual or automatic operated shut-off
valve or positive action check valve. The built-in, antisuck-back valve should not be used as a shut-off valve
for the vacuum system.
3

Non-detergent oil should be used. Do not use

detergent motor oil as additives in detergent oil will
plug exhaust filter elements and shorten their life.

Fill the pump with oil as described in Section 1.5.

It is recommended that Busch R500 Series oil be used

to receive the best performance from your vacuum
equipment. R500 Series oil is a high quality vacuum oil
that will give longer running time between oil changes,
will provide better lubrication at high operating
temperatures, and will prolong the life of exhaust filter
elements. This oil can be obtained directly from Busch
LLC in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Start the pump and immediately close the inlet. Run the
pump for a few minutes before checking the oil level
again. With the pump shut off, the oil level should be
visible in the oil sight glass (Ref. 83), between the "MIN"
and "MAX" mark.

- Oil Filling

Add oil, if necessary, but only add it when the pump has
been shut off and the circulating oil has had sufficient
time to return to the oil sump.

The strict use of Busch oils and parts from the day of
purchase can extend the life of the vacuum pump.

Note: The oil separated by the exhaust filter element

forms droplets on the outside of the exhaust filter that
collect at a low point in the upper half of the exhaust
box. From there the collected oil is drained back to the
oil sump via an oil check valve (Ref. 275) which opens
on R 5 RA model pumps when the pump is shut off. It is
necessary to shut off the RA model pumps after every 8
hours of operation to allow the check valve to open. If
the pump is not shut off after this time period, it is
possible to starve the pump of oil since the oil is not
allowed to drain back into the oil sump and/or oil
droplets may be blown out of the exhaust. If the pump
is operating at high pressure it may be necessary to
shut it down sooner than 8 hours.

For general applications, use R530 in all models

covered by this manual. Use R590 or R570 in pumps
that are operated in high ambient temperatures (above
90F) or when the oil carbonizes (turns black) before
the change interval. Use R590 or R570 on 0250 pumps.
Contact the factory for recommendations when using
other oils.
The TECHNICAL DATA chart on page 14 gives the
approximate quantities of oil required for each pump.
The oil capacity chart should only be used as a guide,
since oil capacity may be slightly lower, depending on
whether the pump was filled previously, and whether all
components such as oil filter, oil lines, etc., were
allowed to completely drain. Use only the sight glass
reading for proper level. Never overfill!

On R 5 (Standard) RC model pumps, the collected oil is

drawn continuously during operation of the vacuum
pump to the inlet flange (Ref. 260) via the oil return line
(Ref. 290). The oil return line is connected directly to the
area of the exhaust box, downstream of the exhaust
filter, which is at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, a
constant amount of air is sucked into the pump, which
is an additional reason that the R 5 Standard Series
Pumps do not achieve as low a vacuum as the R 5
Series Super Vacuum Pumps. RC model pumps can
run continuously without having to shut them off for the
oil to drain back.

WARNING: Keep the oil fill plug tight as

pressure in the exhaust box could cause
bodily injury if the plug is blown out. Do not
fill/add the pump with oil through the
exhaust/inlet ports as there is danger of
breaking the vanes!

For ambient operating temperatures lower than 41F,

use Busch R580 synthetic oil. If this does not help
(where the pump has difficulty starting due to high oil
viscosity), contact the factory in Virginia Beach,
Virginia.

2.2

All RA Series pumps are equipped with a gas ballast

valve. The gas ballast valve (Ref. 440) is located
between the inlet port and the exhaust box. RA series
pumps are equipped with a permanent gas ballast
which cannot be shut off unless the sintered filter is
removed and the orifice plugged. Larger pumps are
equipped with an adjustable gas ballast valve.

Replace the oil fill plug (Ref. 88), making sure that the
gasket (Ref. 89) is in place and properly seated and
secured. Some pumps are equipped with an exhaust
pressure gauge as an integral part of the oil fill plug.
Switch the power back into the "on" position.

OPERATION

2.1

Start-up

Gas Ballast

The adjustable gas ballast valve should normally be left

open. Its primary function is to prevent water vapor from
condensing in the pump. Condensation causes emulsification of the oil, loss of lubricity, and possible rotor
seizure.

Check rotation of the motor as described in Section 1.3.

Process Gas

makes the pump run cooler.

The thermostatic valve can be manually opened by
inserting a screwdriver under each side of the spring
guide and prying the spring and guide upward away
from the valve body.

The R 5 series pumps are designed to pump air and are

not intended for use when water vapor is being
pumped. In some applications, when the quantity of the
water vapor is moderate, R 5 pumps have been used
with good results. On these occasions, the pump is run
until it is up to operating temperature before it is allowed
to pump the process gas. The pump is also operated
for a period of time off process and on air (to clear it of
process gas) before it is shut down. This operating
technique prevents the vapor from condensing in the
pump. Before attempting to pump a gas laden with
water vapor, contact Busch Engineering for advice.
2.4

Thermostatic

Stopping Pump

To stop the pump, turn off the power. The pump has a
built-in, anti-suck-back valve (Ref. 251 thru 255) to prevent the pump from rotating backwards when it is shut
off.
Fig. 2 - Water-cooled Pump

CAUTION: Do not use the anti-suck-back

valve as a system check valve for your vacuum system. Do not depend on the antisuck-back valve to prevent pump oil from
migrating through the inlet into the system
when the pump is shut down.

The water cooling option can be used to cool pumps

operating in high ambient temperatures, or it can be
used to maintain a pump at elevated temperatures to
prevent condensation inside the pump in wet applications. Contact Busch Engineering in for details.
2.6

Install an automatic operated valve (such as a check

valve) in front of the pump, if more than one pump is
pumping on the same line or if there is a sufficient volume of vacuum in the system to cause the pump oil to
be drawn into the piping when that pump is shut down.

Oxygen service pumps must be used in oxygen

enriched applications that are defined as any application which has a process gas that is 25% or more oxygen. If this pump is contaminated by organic compounds, do not attempt to use it on oxygen service until
it has been decontaminated.

All R 5 Series pumps are vented internally to atmospheric pressure through venting holes that are next to
the exhaust valve assembly.
2.5

Oxygen Service Pumps

These pumps have been manufactured, solvent

washed (to remove organic contaminants) and assembled according to the latest technical standards and
safety regulations. If this pump is not installed properly
or not used as directed, a dangerous situation or damage might occur. It is mandatory that these operating
instructions be read and understood prior to vacuum
pump installation and start-up!

Water-Cooled Pumps (optional)

Water-cooled pumps are cooled by circulating the oil

through a shell-and-tube type heat exchanger. The circulation of the pump oil through the shell is created by
vacuum in the pump, but the circulation of the cooling
water through the tubes is thermostatically controlled.
The flow rate of the cooling water is controlled by a thermostatically activated valve (see Fig. 2) that senses,
through a capillary bulb mounted in the exhaust box,
the pump's oil temperature as it is discharged from the
compression chamber. The valve will open at its set
point and close at approximately 3F to 5F below the
set point. The valve set point is adjustable as follows:

WARNING: This pump is filled with a special

operating fluid. Do not use any other type
of fluid, oil and/or grease. Use the following:
Busch R-620 oil (Fomblin LC 250)

(a) Rotate the valve adjustment screw counterclockwise to cause the valve to open at a higher temperature. This makes the pump run hotter.

Use of other oils could result in injury or damage to

personnel or the pump!

contamination, a thorough flushing may be needed.

Contact the factory for flushing oil (Busch R568) and
refer to Section 3.1.4 for the flushing procedure.

quantity.

3.1.2 Oil Type and Quantity

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

R 5 Series pumps require very little maintenance; however, to insure optimum pump performance, the following steps are recommended.
3.1

3.1.3 Oil and Filter Change

CAUTION: When changing the oil and filters, it may be necessary to flush the pump
to remove any build-up of degraded oil from
the sumps, oil lines, radiators, etc., to
ensure proper oil flow through the pump.
Reduced oil flow, especially through radiators and cooling coils, can cause mechanical damage or extreme overheating, which
could cause the oil vapors to ignite.

Pump Oil

3.1.1 Oil Level

CAUTION: Do not add oil while the pump is
running since hot oil vapor may escape
through the oil fill port.
CAUTION: Insufficient oil quantity in the
pump has the potential, under certain conditions, to lead to self-ignition of the
remaining oil in the pump.

WARNING: Always take the necessary precautions concerning personal protective

equipment when changing oil and make
sure the pump is switched to "off" so that
accidental starting will not occur. Oil temperature can reach 212F and may pose a
danger of scalding.

With the pump installed relatively level, make sure that

there is sufficient clean oil in the pump. The oil level
should be observed on a daily basis and/or after 8
hours of operation and should be replenished if it drops
below the 1/4 mark on the oil sight glass on pumps with
one sight glass.

See Section 1.5 and the Technical Data on page 14 for

details on oil type and quantity.
Check the oil for contamination on a weekly basis by
shutting the pump off and draining some of the oil into
a small glass or a similar transparent container through
the oil drain port (Ref. 95).

On RA Series pumps, you must first shut the pump off

in order to let the oil flow back into the oil sump prior to
checking the sight glass. Allowing insufficient time for
the oil to drain back into the sump on RA Series pumps
prior to adding oil could result in overfilling.

Oil life is dependent upon the conditions to which it is

exposed. A clean, dry air stream and an oil operating
temperature under 210F are ideal conditions. When
using R530 (hydrocarbon oil), it is recommended that
oil changes are made every three (3) to four (4) months
or 500 to 750 hours of operation, or as necessary if high
heat is contaminating the oil. The use of Busch R570
(synthetic) or R590 (semi-synthetic) oil may significantly extend the operating hours between oil changes
under ideal conditions. However, you may need to flush
out the pump before changing. Contact the factory
Service Department for advice. Oil samples should be
taken regularly when exceeding the 500-750 hour recommendation.

Oil level readings should be done only when the pump

is turned off. Oil can be added to the oil fill port (Ref.
88) if the pump is shut off and the circulating oil has sufficient time to return to the oil sump. The oil might
appear to be foamy, which is a normal phenomenon
with aerated oil.
Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary to add or drain oil from the pump between recommended oil changes.
A significant drop in oil level means there is an oil leak
or that an exhaust filter is broken, and the pump should
be smoking excessively. It is normal for the oil to be
foamy and light in color in an operating pump.
However, if the oil is milky colored, it is an indication
that water is present in the oil. Normally, by operating
the pump for an extended period, with the inlet suction
blanked off and the gas ballast (Ref. 440) open on RA
pumps, the water will be purged from the oil. If the oil
is dark colored, it is contaminated or carbonized and
must be changed. Depending on the severity of the

Excessive Heat
When the pump is subjected to operating conditions
that will cause the oil to be heated above 210F, the oil
will carbonize and become contaminated after a relatively low number of operating hours. The higher the
temperature, the quicker the oil becomes contaminated.
6

If the oil temperature is too severe, Busch R570 (synthetic) or R590 (semi-synthetic) oil should be used to
withstand the elevated temperatures. If synthetic oil is
used, the pump should be flushed with Busch R568 oil.
Contact the factory for instructions on the flushing procedure. Auxiliary oil cooling is the most practical
approach to a severe heating problem.

the steps in the flushing procedure:

Shut the pump off and drain all the oil from the pump
and remove the access plates (Ref. 205) from the
exhaust box (Ref. 075). Remove the metal baffle (Ref.
078) and take a good look at the internal walls of the oil
sump. If the walls are discolored but have no build up
of any kind one can proceed with the flushing. If gelled
or burnt oil is clinging to the walls this material must be
scraped and removed prior to flushing. Proceed by
scraping and cleaning as much of the exhaust box as
possible. The more debris that is removed now the
more effective the flushing will be later. Re-install the
metal baffle, cover and proceed with the flushing. At
this point one must remember that the oil lines and oil
cooler might also be plugged to a point where no
amount of flushing will make a difference and a complete overhaul will be the only option. Depending on
the severity of the oil contamination flushing may be a
last ditch effort.

Contaminated Air Stream

When the air stream contains a solid and/or liquid that
can contaminate the oil, it must be changed more often.
If the air stream contains a small percentage of contaminates and/or they are slightly aggressive* (mild
acids, etc.), synthetic oil, such as Busch R570, will
resist breakdown better than the standard Busch R530.
The solution is to install a filter or knock-out pot to keep
the contaminates out of the pump.
*Process air streams with a large percentage of contaminates and/or
more than slightly aggressive contaminates must use a chemical duty
pump.

Drain all of the oil from the pump. The more contaminated oil you remove now the more effective the oil
flushing will be.

Oil change intervals can only be established by experience with the pump operating in the actual conditions
(see previous paragraph for some of the conditions).
Develop the oil change interval by periodically checking
an oil sample removed from the pump. When the oil
sample has become dark in color (from solids and carbonized particles) or is milky looking (from water), it is
time to discard it. As mentioned before, a thorough
flushing may be required.

Remove the oil filter (Ref. 100) and install a new one. It
is recommended that you do not change the exhaust filter or filters until after the flushing to prevent contamination of any new filters.
Fill the exhaust box with the proper amount of flushing
oil (Busch R-568).

3.1.4 Oil Flushing Procedure

If possible run the pump with the inlet closed and off of
the process. Run the pump for approximately six hours,
shut the pump off and drain a small sample of oil into a
clear container.

Flushing is needed under certain conditions. Some

pumps will be beyond flushing and will need to be overhauled.

Examine it. If it is clear to amber run the pump for

another six hours and examine it again. If after the first
six hours it is black drain it and fill again using another
new oil filter.

To help determine if flushing is needed, observe the

condition of the oil as it is drained from the pump. Is it
black and tar like or contaminated in any way? Was the
pump noisy, overheating, or was the motor overload
shutting the pump off? How old is the pump and when
was the last time the oil was changed?

If after the second flushing the oil still remains black the
pump may have too much contaminated oil in it to flush
out properly. There may be residue remaining in the
lines and cooler that will not flush out. An overhaul will
be necessary.

If the above conditions exist or you don't know when the

last oil change was performed further investigation is
needed. Also, when changing from one oil type such as
R530 to another type such as R590 or R570 it will be
beneficial to flush. Although the oils are compatible,
mixing a lesser grade oil such as R530 with a synthetic
oil like R570 will reduce the effectiveness of the synthetic oil.

If after the second six hour period the oil still remains
clear to amber in color drain it, change the oil filter and
fill with the regular oil. At this point also change the
exhaust filters.
Run the pump with a fresh charge of the oil to be used
in your application (not R-568), and monitor the operating conditions closely. Check for noise, overheating
and oil condition until a regular oil change schedule can
be established.

All of the oil will be removed and replaced with the

flushing oil (Busch R-568), and eventually that will be
replaced by whatever Busch oil is needed for your particular application. Have enough oil and oil filters on
hand for a couple of flushes. The following describes
7

Do not let the oil turn black. Change it before it fails. If

the oil is kept in good condition the pump will last for
years. If the oil starts to turn black do not hesitate to
flush again. Keeping on top of the oil changes will prevent costly overhauls.
If you are just switching from one type of oil to another
a single six hour flush is all that is necessary (follow the
above instructions). Remember to change to a new
exhaust filter or filters after the flushing and not before.
3.2

Automotive-Type Oil Filter

The pump is equipped with an automotive-type oil filter

(Ref. 100). When replacing the automotive-type oil filter, use only a Busch genuine filter.
Note: Make sure to tighten the Busch oil filter securely against the aluminum sealing surface so that leaks
will not occur.
3.3

Fig. 3 - Removing the Exhaust Housing

Exhaust Filter

WARNING: If the gas entering this pump is

a health hazard, use rubber gloves and all
necessary personal protection equipment
when performing the exhaust filter replacement operation.
Every nine (9) to twelve (12) months, or as necessary,
replace the exhaust filter elements. The service life of
the exhaust filters varies widely with pump application.
It is only necessary to change the filters when the elements become clogged with foreign material or burned
oil. Indications of clogged filters are smoke and oil mist
coming from the pump exhaust, higher than normal
motor current or oil leaking from the gas ballast valve
on RA models.
Fig. 4 - Removing the Filter Spring

A pressure gauge (Ref. 90) is supplied with your R 5

vacuum pump as part of the oil fill plug. This gauge has
a green field and a red field. A pressure within the
green field would indicate normal pressure. Any pressure in the red field (for a continuos period of time)
requires an immediate change of the exhaust filter(s).

To field test an exhaust filter element, remove it from

the pump, allow it to cool, clean the sealing end (or Oring end), and use compressed air to blow through the
element. Apply approximately 3 to 6 psi (maximum
allowable operating pressure across the filter).
WARNING: Do not inhale through the filter
or allow your mouth to come in direct contact with the filter.

In order to replace the filter, remove the four socket

head cap screws (Ref. 146 on 0025 through 0101 / Ref.
142 0n 0250) and lockwashers (Ref. 143) retaining the
exhaust port housing (see Fig. 3). Pull the housing off
the exhaust box and set it aside. Use a slotted head
screw driver to loosen the exhaust filter retaining spring,
then rotate and remove the spring (see Fig. 4). Pull the
filter cartridge (Ref. 120) out of the exhaust box.

Use a shop rag to seal off the connection between the

air hose and the filter. If you can blow through it, the
element is good. If not, discard it and install a new one.
The filter cannot be cleaned successfully. Visually
inspect the filter element for cracks.

WARNING: Wear safety glasses when

installing or removing the spring retainers.
The retainers can, if not secured correctly,
slip off and fly out of the exhaust box.

Reinstall the filter elements. Make sure the open end of

the element is properly seated down in its recess in the
exhaust box with the O-ring (Ref. 121) correctly positioned. Retain the filter with the spring clip, tighten the
8

tension screw until the filter is secure. Place the

exhaust port gasket and cover in position on the
exhaust box and retain with the cap screws.
3.4

ter material as practice determines.

The radiator (Ref. 241) on model 0250, the fan cover
(Ref. 340) on the 0025 through 0101 models and (Ref.
244) on the 0250 model should be inspected regularly
for debris. Soiling prevents cool air intake and may lead
to overheating of the pump.

Inlet Flange

The standard inlet flange assembly contains an inlet

screen (Ref. 261) which may require occasional cleanly. The frequency of cleaning can only be determined
by experience and is affected by hours of operation and
particle size being trapped. An optional vacuum inlet filter is offered and can help minimize the need or frequency of cleaning the inlet screen.

Drain drip legs on inlet and exhaust piping.

3.7

An overhaul kit containing a set of gaskets and O-rings,

vanes, bearings and bearing sleeves, shaft seals and
taper pins, is available from the factory.

To clean the screen, disconnect the flange from the

TROUBLESHOOTING

4.1

Trouble

Pump does not reach "blank-off" pressure,

which is the lowest absolute pressure (best
vacuum) when running with the inlet closed
via a blank flange or a valve; or the pump
takes too long to evacuate the system.
Blank-off pressure can be measured by
using a good quality capsule gauge.

Routine Maintenance Schedule

See the motor manufacturers manual for the periodic

motor maintenance.

Possible Cause:
Note: Lack of proper maintenance can result in
blocked filters, radiators, oil lines, etc. This condition
can lead to excessive heat causing mechanical failure
or ignition of the oil vapors.

Contaminated oil is the most common cause of not

reaching the ultimate pressure.
Remedy:

Daily: Visually check oil level (see 3.1.1 and 3.1.2).

Shut off pump, after operating temperature has been
reached, drain the warm oil from pump and exchange
automotive-type oil filter (where applicable), if necessary. Flush and fill pump with new oil and take new
blank-off measurement after operating temperature is
reached (at least 20-30 minutes).

Weekly: Check oil for contamination (see 3.1.3).

Inspect inlet filter (see 3.5).
Every three (3) or four (4) months, 500 to 750
hours of operation, or as necessary: See 3.1.3
and 1.5. Drain and discard oil from the hot pump.
Replace the automotive-type oil filter and refill with
fresh oil through the fill plug (see 3.1.2 through 3.1.3
and 3.2).

Possible Cause:
Vacuum system or vacuum piping not leak-tight.

Every nine (9) to twelve (12) months, or as

necessary: Replace exhaust filter elements (see
3.3).

Remedy:
Check hose and pipe connections for possible leak.

As necessary: Check and/or clean the standard inlet

screen. If the optional inlet filter is used, replace the fil9

Possible Cause:

Possible Cause:

Wire mesh inlet screen plugged (Ref. 261).

Exhaust valve (Ref. 159) is not properly seated or it is

partially stuck open (RA models only).

Remedy:
Remedy:
Clean wire mesh inlet screen. Install inlet filter if problem repeats frequently.
Possible Cause:

Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the

Maintenance and Repair Manual or contact the nearest
Busch Factory Service Center.

No oil or not enough oil in oil reservoir.

Possible Cause:

Remedy:

Vanes are blocked in the rotor or they are damaged.

Shut off the pump, add the necessary oil, or if oil seems
contaminated, drain balance of oil from pump,
exchange automotive oil filter, and refill with fresh oil.
Flush if necessary.

Remedy:
Free vanes or replace with new ones following disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the
Maintenance and Repair Manual or contact the nearest
Busch Factory Service Center.

Possible Cause:

Possible Cause:

Automotive-type oil filter is dirty or clogged (where

applicable).

Radial clearance between the rotor and cylinder is no

longer adequate.

Remedy:

Remedy:

Replace automotive-type oil filter, exchange oil, if necessary, and refill with fresh oil.

Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the

Maintenance and Repair Manual on resetting the radial
clearance correctly or contact the nearest Busch
Factory Service Center.

Possible Cause:
Inlet valve plate (Ref. 251) stuck in closed or partially
open position due to contamination.

Possible Cause:
Remedy:
Internal parts worn or damaged.
Disassemble inlet valve and screen. Clean as required.
Remedy:
Possible Cause:
Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the
Maintenance and Repair Manual and replace worn or
damaged parts or contact the nearest Busch Factory
Service Center.

Oil tubing fittings are loose and leaking. Oil return line
broken on RC model.
Remedy:

Possible Cause:
Replace or retighten the oil fittings or oil tubing.
Replace only with same size tubing.

Radial clearance between the rotor and cylinder is no

longer adequate.

Possible Cause:
Remedy:
Shaft seal leaking.
Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the
Maintenance and Repair Manual on resetting the radial
clearance correctly or contact the nearest Busch
Factory Service Center.

Remedy:
Replace the shaft seal following disassembly and
assembly steps outlined in the Maintenance and Repair
Manual. Check the shaft seal. It should have a spring
installed inside and around the shaft sealing lip.

Possible Cause:
Internal parts worn or damaged.
10

Possible Cause on RC Models Only:

Remedy:

The oil return line (Ref. 290) is connected directly to

atmospheric pressure in the exhaust area. On small
model pumps, a fairly large amount of air is sucked
through the oil return line, and it may not be possible to
reach 15 torr or 29.4 inches Hg. blank-off on the inlet of
the pump under these conditions.

Change to R580 vacuum oil if very cold, or warm up oil

before starting the pump.

Blank-off of 29.4 inches Hg or 15 torr can be reached by

temporarily disconnecting and closing the oil return line;
also by squirting oil through the exhaust opening into
the exhaust filter area. Oil will be sucked into the oil
return line, and no air will reach the inlet, thus affecting
the "blank-off' pressure.

Remedy:

4.2

Possible Cause:

Possible Cause:
Pump runs in the wrong direction.

Check for correct rotation which is counterclockwise

when looking at the motor from the motor's fan side.
Reverse any two leads on the motor to change the
direction of rotation.

Trouble

Pump will not start.

Pump is overfilled with oil or wrong kind of oil is used.

Possible Cause:

Remedy:

The motor does not have proper supply voltage or is

overloaded; motor starter overload settings are too low
or wrong setting; fuses are burned; or wire is too small
or too long, causing a voltage drop to the motor.

Correct the oil level and quality per Section 1.5 and use
recommended motor oil.

Remedy:

Exhaust filters in exhaust chamber are clogged and

appear burned black with pump oil.

Possible Cause:

Check correct supply voltage; check overload settings

in motor starter for size and setting according to motor
nameplate data; check fuses; and install proper size
wire. If ambient temperature is high, use larger size
overloads or adjust setting 5% above nominal motor
nameplate value.

Remedy:
Replace exhaust filters, maintain proper oil condition,
oil level, and use only Busch recommended vacuum oil
and filters.

Possible Cause:

Possible Cause:

Pump or motor is blocked.

The exhaust filter is clogged due to process material.

Remedy:

Remedy:

Remove fan cover and try to turn pump and motor by

hand. If frozen, remove motor from pump and check
motor and pump separately. If pump is frozen, disassemble completely per the Maintenance and Repair
Manual and remove foreign objects in the pump or
replace broken vanes.

Contact the factory in Virginia Beach, Va. for recommendations or proper filter cartridge.

4.3

Possible Cause:
Loose connection in motor terminal box; not all motor
coils are properly connected. Motor operates on two
phases only.

Trouble

Pump starts, but labors and draws a very

high current.

Remedy:
Check motor wiring diagram for proper hookup, especially on motors with six internal motor windings, tighten and/or replace loose connections.

Possible Cause:
Oil too heavy (viscosity too high) or ambient temperature below 5 degrees C (41F).

Possible Cause:
Foreign particle in pump; the vanes broken; the bearing
11

is seizing.

pump when the RA/RB Series pump is stopped.

Remedy:

Possible Cause:

Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the

Maintenance and Repair Manual and remove foreign
parts, and replace vanes and bearings or contact the
nearest Busch Factory Service Center..

Oil return line (Ref. 290) on RC Standard pump is

clogged or broken.

4.4

Free clogged line or replace. Check that oil is being

drawn out of the exhaust filter area while the vacuum
pump is operating.

Remedy:

Trouble

Pump discharges smoke at the exhaust port

or expels oil droplets from the exhaust.

Note: An oil filling plug with pressure gauge is provided on all R 5 Series pumps, so that the pressure in front
of the exhaust filters can be monitored. The green field
indicates that the filters are still effective. Back pressure that causes a continuous reading in the red field
requires immediate change of exhaust filters (Ref. 120).

Possible Cause:
Exhaust filter is not properly seated with O-ring (Ref.
121) in filter base or filter material is cracked.
Remedy:

4.5
Check condition and check for proper seating of
exhaust filters. Replace if necessary. Also, check filter
spring clips for tightness.

Trouble

Pump runs very noisily.

Possible Cause:

Possible Cause:
Coupling insert worn.
Exhaust filter is clogged with foreign particles.
Remedy:
Remedy:
Replace coupling insert in motor/pump coupling.
Replace exhaust filter.
Possible Cause:
Possible Cause:
Bearing noise.
The oil return valve (Ref. 275) is stuck open on RA/RB
pumps. Proper function is that when blowing into check
valve, it should close. When applying vacuum on it,
check valve should open.

Remedy:
Follow disassembly and assembly steps outlined in the
Maintenance and Repair Manual and replace bearings.

WARNING: Do not apply pressure or vacuum by mouth.

Possible Cause:

Remedy:

Vanes stuck.

Free or replace the oil return check valve.

Remedy:

Possible Cause:

Follow disassembly and assembly instructions outlined

in the Maintenance and Repair Manual and replace
vanes. Use only recommended Busch oil and change
oil more frequently.

If RA/RB Series vacuum pumps run continuously over

8 hours without ever being shut down, it may be possible that oil accumulates behind the exhaust box cover
to the extent that oil is blown out of the exhaust with the
exhaust gas.

4.6

Trouble

Remedy:

The pump runs very hot. See Technical Data

for typical oil sump temperature.

Shut pump down during break periods or install an additional oil return line assembly. Check that oil return
valve (Ref. 275) is free and drains oil back into the

Note: The oil temperature with a closed inlet should be

approximately 185-225F depending on pump type. At
24 in. Hg, the oil in the pump can go above 225F.
12

These values are taken at an ambient temperature of

68F. The maximum recommended ambient operating
temperature for an R 5 is 100F on a continuous basis.
When it is necessary to operate a pump in ambient temperatures above this limit, careful oil monitoring and/or
optional water cooling is necessary. Contact the factory for details.

Possible Cause:
Pump was operated for an extended period of time in
the wrong rotation.
Remedy:
Inspect vanes and replace.

Possible Cause:
Possible Cause:
Not enough air ventilation to the pump.
Liquid carryover into the pump cylinder broke vanes
while pump was running, or oil broke vanes on start-up.

Remedy:
Clean motor and pump air grills. Do not install the
pump in an enclosed cabinet unless a sufficient amount
of cool air is supplied to the pump. On pumps with oil
cooling coils, clean outside fin assembly. Bring ambient
air temperature down.

Remedy:
(a)

Install condensate trap on the inlet of the pump.

(b) Pump was overfilled with oil in oil reservoir.

Follow oil filling procedure (see Section 1.5) and do not
overfill.

Possible Cause:
Automotive-type oil filter clogged and pump does not
receive enough oil.

(c)
Built-in, anti-suck-back valve (Ref. 250 through
255) leaking while pump was shut down and vacuum
was left in manifold. Clean valve seat and check that
anti-suck-back valve holds vacuum on inlet when pump
is shut down.

Remedy:
Change automotive oil filter.

(d) Two pumps or a receiver is on the same main

line. Install a manual or automatic operated valve in
front of each pump.

Possible Cause:
Not enough oil in oil reservoir, or badly burned oil is
used for pump lubrication.

4.8

Trouble

Automotive-type oil filter (Ref. 100) does not

get warm within two to five minutes when
cold pump is started.

Remedy:
Drain and refill only with Busch recommended oil.
Increase oil change intervals.

Possible Cause:
Note: On some high temperature applications, it may
be necessary to change to a high temperature oil such
as R590 or R570. Contact the factory for recommendations.
4.7

Automotive-type oil filter is clogged.

Remedy:

Trouble

Replace automotive-type filter per Section 3.2 and

exchange oil per Section 1.5.

Pump is seized.
Possible Cause:
Possible Cause:
Pump operated without oil and vanes are broken.

Wrong automotive-type filter is used and/or oil lines and

oil coolers leading to pump are clogged.

Remedy:

Remedy:

Disassemble and exchange vanes as outlined in the

Maintenance and Repair Manual or contact the nearest
Busch Factory Service Center..

Use only automotive filter as listed in Section 3.2 and

blow lines free. Flush oil cooler.
Possible Cause:
The oil cooler (Ref. 241) is plugged internally with burnt
13

oil (0250 models).
