HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE AND
LONG LIFE FROM SAS PUMPS
GENERAL INFORMATION:
This pump is only to be used for the purpose of pumping air and under NO circumstances be used with any other gases. The pump must not be used for the pumping of fluids, particles, solids or any substance mixed with air, particularly combustible substances likely to cause explosions. Your rotary pump is a precision product with a clearance of Top . 0015” End .0015” for model 0523 (1/4
HP & 1/3HP) and Top .003” End .002” for models 0823 and 1023 (1/2HP and 3/4HP). Foreign particles or excessive dirt and/or dust could cause eventual “jamming” of the pump. The unit is built of steel and cast iron and is designed for pumping dry air. Consequently, any moisture (especially when pump stands idle) will tend to corrode interior. The Carbon Vanes life is between 5,000 -
15,000 hours depending upon application.
NEVER lubricate this oil-less rotary vane pump. The sealed bearing are grease-packed. The service life of the carbon vanes will be reduced by petroleum or hydrocarbon products. Precision ground vanes take up their own wear and will last thousands of hours depending upon speed and degree of pressure. Excessive dirt, foreign particles, or moisture could cause the vanes to stick in the rotor slots and even break.. Periodic “Flushing” could prevent this see page 10.
PRODUCT USE CRITERIA:
Pump only clean, dry air and operate at 32°F - 104°F (0° C - 40°C). Protect unit from dirt and moisture. Do not pump flamable or explsive gases or use in an atmosphere that contains such gases.
INSTALLATION:
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:
Disconnect electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing this product. Install this product where it will not come into contact with water or other liquids. Install this product where it will be weather protected. Electrically ground this product. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION: Blocking air flow around the product in any way can cause the product to over heat and shut off.
MOUNTING:
This product may be installed in any orientation. Mounting the product to a stable, rigid operating surface and using shock mounts will reduce noise and vibration.
INSPECTION:
Regular inspection, cleaning filters, and "flushing" (see page 10) may prevent extensive repairs.
Dirty or clogged intake filter felt can be responsible for failure of the pump to build up pressure and eventual pump overheating. Replace exhaust filter element every 90 to 100 running hours. Do not be alarmed if temperature of exhaust air reaches 225°F when running continuously. If there is evidence of overheating or excessive noise, stop immediately for repairs. Keep external surfaces clean for proper heat dissipation. Most failures to build up pressure are due to leaks in connecting lines, damaged filter jar threads, collapsed air lines, dirty filtering elements or sluggish vanes in the pump. The latter is generally caused from the pump being operated above its recommended duty and getting too hot.
START UP:
If the motor fails to start or slows down significantly under load, shut off and disconnect from power supply. Check that the voltage is correct for motor and the motor is turning in the proper direction.
Vane life will be drastically reduced if motor is not operating properly. Vanes can break or be damaged it motor/pump runs in the wrong direction. Motors are equipped with thermal protector that turns current of automatically when to mechanical or electrical overloads. Also check the wiring instructions on motor case or on thermal plate cover.
LUBRICATION:
CAUTION:
NEVER LUBRICATE DRY "OIL-LESS" AIR PUMPS. The carbon vanes and
FLUSHING:
Flushing this product to remove excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture or oil that occurs in the operating environment will help to maintain proper vane performance. Most pump troubles can be corrected by flushing solvent rather than by taking apart. A noisy or inefficient pump is frequently nothing more serious than vanes stuck in a rotor slot due to foreign material (dust) and / or dirty filters.
CAUTION -- Recommended commercial solvents for SAS pumps are Loctite Safety Solvent,
Inhibisol Safety Solvent, and Dow Chemical Chlorothane. In the event one of the above are not available, use any NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-TOXIC, NON-PETROLEUM BASE, INDUSTRIAL
CLEANING SOLVENT. (SAS PUMP FLUSHING LIQUID --- P/N 9700-11).
FLUSHING PROCEDURES:
Remove Intake Filter Assembly and Exhaust Port Assembly. Flushing should be done while the unit is running and in a well ventilated area. Then while wearing proper protection have a clean cloth over the exhaust port marked "OUT". Spray or pour a small amount of flushing solution in the intake port marked "IN". Continue flushing until solution coming out exhaust port appears to be clear.
After all solvent has passed through the pump continue to let the pump run while unseen solution can dissipate into the air, then re-attach the Intake Filter Assembly to the port marked “IN” and
Exhaust Port Assembly to the port marked “OUT”. Frequent flushing is recommended to help maintain proper vane performance.
FILTER ELEMENTS:
Replace Intake and Exhaust Filter every 90 to 100 running hours.
DISASSEMBLY:
If foreign matter has entered pump, try flushing. If this does not eliminate the foreign matter, unplug pump, remove only the dead end plate and the four vanes (DO NOT at any time remove the rotor).
Wash vanes, end plate, and pump chamber with solvent (see above for correct type of solvents to be used). Dry and reassemble.
DANGER:
TO PREVENT EXPLOSIVE HAZARD, DO NOT PUMP COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS
FOR MAXIMUM PUMP LIFE USE MINIMUM PRESSURE NEEDED TO DO THE JOB.

WARNING
1. Selection or use of this respirator must be done in accordance with American National
Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection Z88.2 and the Occupational Safety and
Health statutes to which you are subjected.
2. DO NOT use this facepiece on a pressure demand unit. Fullface and Halfmask Supplied
Air Respirators are approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
3. DO NOT wear supplied air respirators in any atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health. "Atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health" are: a. Those which the wearer could not breath for short periods. b. Those from which the wearer could not escape without the aid of the respirator. c. Those which would have an immediate or delayed adverse effect on health.
COMPONENTS:
Each Fullface & Halfmask Supplied-Air Respirator consists of the following major components: Face piece
Assembly, Down-Tube Assembly, Nylon-Web Waist Belt, 50 ft. Breathing Air Supply Line.
Use only the components having the part numbers listed on the MSHA/NIOSH approval plate. Use of any
other components voids the approval.
Accessories:
To extend the utility of the Full face Supplied-Air respirator, the following accessories are offered as option equipment.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Air Supply:
Unless safety and health codes in your area specify otherwise, air purity must meet the requirements of
Type 1, Grade D gaseous air set forth in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification for
Air, G-7.1. The responsibility of maintaining the quality of the air is yours. Install purification and monitoring equipment as necessary.
Pressure relief valve on SAS pump is factory set for maximum air flow. Pressure of the air supply must be maintained within the range specified for the length of air supply line, measured at the inlet to the air supply line. Refer to respirator manufacturer's recommendation for specific settings.
WARNING
If a compressor is used to supply breathing air, the following precautions must be taken:
A. The compressor air intake must be located so that only clean, fresh air is drawn into the
B. The responsibility for compliance with safety and health codes, applicable to you area, is YOURS.
LENGTH OF HOSELINE
The length of hoseline to be used will be determined by the job to be done. In NO case may the hose length exceed 100 feet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Donning:
1. Connect the air supply hose to the air supply.
2. Put the waist belt on. tighten the belt snugly around your waist.
3. Tuck the Full face mask or Half mask under your arm and attach the clip-on end of the low pressure hose (downtube) coming from your mask to the ring on your waist belt. Attach it so the plug on the end
12
13 of the hose pints rearward.
4. Plug the end of the low pressure hose coming from your mask into the hoseline and turn on the air supply. Your mask should now be supplying air.
5. Don the Full face mask or Half mask:
5.1 Full face Mask: a. Extend all headstraps to their full length. b. Push the whole headstrap up and over the "forehead" part of the mask as far as possible. c. Insert your chin into the Face piece first, then pull the headstraps down over the back of your head and down as far as they will go. a. Place the Half mask against your face and pull the cradle headstrap down behind your head. Ensure the straps are above your ears. b. Connect the lower two straps together behind your head.
6. Tighten the straps -- lower straps first, then the upper straps. The straps must be tight enough so that they securely hold the Full face mask or Half mask on and prevent leakage. Do not make them so tight that you become uncomfortable.
7. Your respirator is now ready to use.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
NOTE
The Supplied-Air Respirator should be inspected for defects after each use, and at least once monthly if it is not used. The Supplied-Air Respirator should be repaired as necessary, cleaned and disinfected, and then stored properly to assure that it is maintained in satisfactory working condition. A record should be kept of inspection dates and findings.
INSPECTION
1. WAIST BELT: Check the waist belt for broken, twisted, or excessively frayed straps, defective or excessively rusty buckles: defective stitching, and cuts, tears, or holes.
2. FACEPIECE: The face piece skirt and headstrap should be inspected for pliability and signs of deterioration. Stretching and manipulating the rubber with a massaging action will keep it pliable, flexible and prevent it from taking a set during storage. All parts, and especially the lens, should be clean and free of dirt and dust. Examine the buckles to see that they function properly and free of excessive rust. Check the face piece for leaks. Special attention should be given to the exhalation valve and the joint between the lens and the skirt.
3. HOSE: Inspect the mask and air supply hose for leaks, cuts, cracks, and abrasions. Check the end fittings for tightness.
CLEANING:
1. For sanitary reasons, the respirator face piece should be cleaned and disinfected after each use, even if it does not look dirty.
2. Make a cleaning solution by mixing water with any detergent that contains effective disinfectants
(such ammonium
3. Heat the solution to 140-160° F. (60 - 71.1` C).
4. Immerse the face piece, top first, in the cleaning solution. Immerse it only until the exhalation
5. Using a soft brush, gently clean the face piece
6. Rinse the face piece in a fresh-water bath and allow it to air dry. Mild heat (less than 160° F, 71.1° C) may be used to speed up the drying. Use of towel to dry the face piece is not recommended unless a clean, lint free towel is used.
7. Use caution when cleaning the face piece lens. Although the outer surface of the lens has a proprietary anti-scratch coating, it can be damaged through careless or abusive handling. Do not attempt to "polish out" scratches with any abrasive agent as this will only cause further damage to the remaining coating. Warm, soapy water (using Joy, Mr. Clean, Lestoil, etc.) is usually adequate to remove adhering grime. Stubborn deposits may require the use of denatured or isopropyl alcohol or other mild solvents. DO NOT allow any solvent to come into contact with rubber or plastic parts. Use solvents only in a well-ventilated area.
REPAIR:
Repair of the Supplied Air Respirator by the user is limited to replacement of the components as listed on the
MSHA/NIOSH approval label. Disassembly should be performed only to the extent necessary to replace the components.
WARNING
Before disassembly, make sure that all air is bled from the lines. Shut off or deplete the air supply to prevent equipment damage or personal injury.
To protect your warranty and the MSHA/NIOSH certification on the equipment, all other repairs must be done only by authorized Service Center. If there are none at your facility, consult your SURVIVAIR distributor for the one nearest you.
STORAGE:
After inspection, cleaning and necessary repair, the Supplied-Air Respirator should be stored to protect it against dust, sunlight, heat, extreme cold, excessive moisture, or damaging chemicals.
The Supplied Air Respirator should be stored in compartments built for that purpose. The compartments should be clearly marked.

(e)
* Medical evaluation. Using a respirator may place a physiological burden on employees that varies with the type of respirator worn, the job and workplace conditions in which the respirator is used, and the medical status of the employee. Accordingly, this paragraph specifies the minimum requirements for medical evaluation that employers must implement to determine the employee's ability to use a respirator.
(e)(1)
* General. The employer shall provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee's ability to use a respirator, before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace. The employer may discontinue an employee's medical evaluations when the employee is no longer required to use a respirator.
(e)(2)
* Medical evaluation procedures.
(e)(2)(i)
* The employer shall identify a physician or other licensed health care professional (PLHCP) to perform medical evaluations using a medical questionnaire or an initial medical examination that obtains the same information as the medical questionnaire.

(e)(5)(i)(A)
* (A) The type and weight of the respirator to be used by the employee;
(e)(5)(i)(B)
* The duration and frequency of respirator use (including use for rescue and escape);
(e)(5)(i)(C)
* The expected physical work effort.
(e)(5)(i)(D)
* Additional protective clothing and equipment to be worn; and
(e)(5)(i)(E)
* Temperature and humidity extremes that may be encountered.
(e)(5)(ii)
* Any supplemental information provided previously to the PLHCP regarding an employee need not be provided for a subsequent medical evaluation if the information and the PLHCP remain the same.
(e)(5)(iii)
* The employer shall provide the PLHCP with a copy of the written respiratory protection program and a copy of this section.
* Note to Paragraph (e)(5)(iii): When the employer replaces a PLHCP, the employer must ensure that the new PLHCP obtains this information, either by providing the documents directly to the PLHCP or having the documents transferred from the former PLHCP to the new PLHCP. However, OSHA does not expect employers to have employees medically reevaluated solely because a new PLHCP has been selected.
(e)(6)
* Medical determination. In determining the employee's ability to use a respirator, the employer shall:
(e)(6)(i)
* Obtain a written recommendation regarding the employee's ability to use the respirator from the
PLHCP. The recommendation shall provide only the following information:
(e)(6)(i)(A)
* Any limitations on respirator use related to the medical condition of the employee, or relating to the workplace conditions in which the respirator will be used, including whether or not the employee is medically able to use the respirator;
(e)(6)(i)(B)
* The need, if any, for follow-up medical evaluations; and
(e)(6)(i)(C)
* A statement that the PLHCP has provided the employee with a copy of the PLHCP's written recommendation.
(e)(6)(ii)
* If the respirator is a negative pressure respirator and the PLHCP finds a medical condition that may place the employee's health at increased risk if the respirator is used, the employer shall provide a
PAPR if the PLHCP's medical evaluation finds that the employee can use such a respirator, if a subsequent medical evaluation finds that the employee is medically able to use a negative pressure respirator, then the employer is no longer required to provide a PAPR.
(e)(7)
* Additional medical evaluations. At a minimum, the employer shall provide additional medical evaluations that comply with the requirements of this section if:
(e)(7)(i)
* An employee reports medical signs or symptoms that are related to ability to use a respirator.

* Information from the respiratory protection program, including observations made during fit testing and program evaluation, indicates a need for employee reevaluation; or
(e)(7)(iv)
* A change occurs in workplace conditions (e.g., physical work effort, protective clothing, temperature) that may result in a substantial increase in the physiological burden placed on an employee.
(f)
* Fit testing. This paragraph requires that, before an employee may be required to use any respirator with a negative or positive pressure tight-fitting face piece, the employee must be fit tested with the same make, model, style, and size of respirator that will be used. This paragraph specifies the kinds of fit tests allowed, the procedures for conducting them, and how the results of the fit test must be used.
(f)(1)
* The employer shall ensure that employees using a tight-fitting face piece respirator pass an appropriate qualitative fit test (QLFT) or quantitative fit test (QNFT) as stated in this paragraph.
(f)(2)
* The employer shall ensure that an employee using a tight-fitting face piece respirator is fit tested prior to initial use of the respirator, whenever a different respirator face piece ( size, style, model or make) is used, and at least annually thereafter.
(f)(3)
* The employer shall conduct an additional fit test whenever the employee reports, or the employer,
PLHCP, supervisor, or program administrator makes visual observations of, changes in the employee's physical condition that could affect respirator fit. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, facial scarring, dental changes, cosmetic surgery, or an obvious changes in body weight.
24
25
(f)(4)
* If after passing a QLFT or QNFT, the employee subsequently notifies the employer, program administrator, supervisor, or PLHCP that the fit of the respirator is unacceptable, the employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to select a different respirator face piece and to be re-tested.
...1910.134(f)(5)
(f)(5)
* The fit test shall be administered using an OSHA-accepted QLFT or QNFT protocol. The OSHAaccepted QLFT and QNFT protocols and procedures are contained in Appendix A of this section.
(f)(6)
* QLFT may only be used to fit test negative pressure air-purifying respirators that must achieve a fit factor of 100 or less.
(f)(7)
* If the fit factor , as determined through an OSHA-accepted QNFT protocol, is equal or greater than
100 for tight-fitting half facepieces, or equal to or greater than 500 for tight-fitting full face pieces the
QNFT has been passed with that respirator.
(f)(8)
* Fit testing of tight-fitting atmosphere-supplying respirators and tight-fitting powered air-purifying respirators shall be accomplished by performing quantitative or qualitative fit testing in the negative pressure mode, regardless of the mode of operation (negative or positive pressure) that is used for respiratory protection.
(f)(1)(8)(i)
* Qualitative fit testing of these respirators shall be accomplished by temporarily converting the respirator user's actual face piece into a negative pressure respirator with appropriate filters, or by using an identical negative pressure air-purifying respirator face piece with the same sealing surfaces as a surrogate for the atmosphere-supplying or powered air-purifying respirator face piece.
(f)(1)(8)(ii)
* Quantitative fit testing of these respirators shall be accomplished by modifying the face piece to allow sampling inside the face piece in the breathing zone of the user, midway between the nose and mouth. This requirement shall be accomplished by installing a permanent sampling probe onto a surrogate face piece, or by using a sampling adapter designed to temporarily provide a means of sampling air from inside the face piece.
(f)(1)(8)(iii)
* Any modifications to the respirator face piece for fit testing shall be completely removed, and the face piece restored to NIOSH-approved configuration, before that face piece can be used in the workplace.
(g)
* Use of respirators. This paragraph requires employers to establish and implement procedures for the proper use of respirators. These requirements include prohibiting conditions that may result in face piece seal leakage, preventing employees from removing respirators in hazardous environments, taking actions to ensure continued effective respirator operation throughout the work shift, and establishing procedures for the use of respirators in IDLH atmospheres or in interior structural firefighting situations.
(g)(1)
