 OPERATING and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR #1531 OIL-LESS PUMP
CAUTION: Never lubricate oil-less air pump. The carbon vanes and grease packed motor bearings
require no oil. The rotor is held in place with Loctite adhesive. Do not remove it.

STARTING: If the motor fails to start or hums, pull the plug and check the motor nameplate ratings. The
guarantee is void if damage results from motor being improperly fused. Use a three (3) amp Slo-Blow fuse
or equivalent in line to motor. If anything appears to be wrong with the motor, return the complete pump
and motor assembly to the factory.

FLUSHING: Should excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture or oil be permitted to enter the pump, the
vanes will act sluggish or even break. Flushing of the pump should take care of these situations. In order
to flush a pump, remove the filter and muffler assemblies and introduce several teaspoons full of solvent*
into the pump through the intake WHILE THE PUMP IS RUNNING. Repeat the flushing procedure and if
it does not remedy the situation, remove the end plate for further examination. Periodic flushing is
recommended.

FILTERS: Dirty filters restrict air flow and if not corrected could lead to possible motor overloading and
early pump failure. Check filters periodically and clean when necessary by removing felts from the filter
and washing in a solvent*. Dry with compressed air and replace.

DISASSEMBLY: Remove the three screws which attach retainer plate to body. Now remove the retainer
plate and carbon wear plate and you have success to the vanes. Use compressed air to clean out the pump
chamber. The carbon wear plates have two (2) usable sides. When one side is worn, simply flip it over but
use if on the same end of the pump. DO NOT REMOVE THE ROTOR. It is held in place by Loctite and
should only be serviced by an authorized service facility. Do not loosen or remove the body “thru-bolts”.
To reset clearance between top of rotor and top of bore of the body, just LOOSEN the four (4) screws that
attach body to electric motor. DO NOT REMOVE BODY of pump because an exact factory determined
body spacer gasket provides necessary clearance. After the four (4) screws are loosened, place a .001”
feeler gauge between the top of the rotor and the body, holding the body in position while the body bolts
are tightened. Withdraw the feeler gauge and rotate the rotor to be sure all points clear the bore.

REASSEMBLY: Simply place carbon plate and retainer plate in position, add and tighten the three (3)
end plate screws. Should the pump still fail to produce proper vacuum or pressure, send to authorized
service center for repairs.

*Recommended Solvents: Loctite Safety Solvent, Inhibisol Safety Solvent and Dow Chemical
Chlorothane. DO NOT USE KEROSENE.

DANGER: To prevent explosive hazard, do not pump combustible liquids or vapors with these units.

It is usually quickest and least expensive to send the unit in for repair. Authorized service facilities are

 International Warranty
Air Techniques International

Air Techniques International, hereinafter referred to as ATI, warrants the equipment purchased hereunder
to be free from defect in materials and workmanship under normal use and service, when used for the
purpose for which it is designed, for a period of (1) one year from the date of shipment. ATI further
warrants that the equipment will perform in accordance with the technical specifications accompanying the
formal equipment offer.

ATI will repair or replace any such defective items that may fail within the stated
warranty period, PROVIDED:

1. That any claim of defect under this warranty is made within thirty (30) days
after discovery thereof and that inspection by ATI, if required, indicates the
validity of such claim to ATI’s satisfaction; and
2. That the defect is not the result of damage incurred in shipment to or from our
factory; and
3. That the equipment has not been altered in any way whether as to design or
use, whether by replacement parts not supplied or approved by ATI, or
otherwise; and
4. That any equipment or accessories furnished but not manufactured by ATI, or
not of ATI design, shall be subject only to such adjustments as ATI may
obtain from the supplier thereof.

ATI’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of

defective parts with the exception noted above. If the equipment includes a
scattering chamber, ATI’s warranty does not extend to contamination of the
scattering chamber by foreign material.

At ATI’s option, any defective equipment that fails within the warranty period shall
be returned to ATI’s factory for inspection, properly packed with shipping charges
prepaid. No equipment shall be returned to ATI without prior issuance of a return
authorization by ATI.

No warranties express or implied, other than those specifically set forth herein shall be
applicable to any equipment manufactured or furnished by ATI and the foregoing
