SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
2.10 Introduction
2.11 This manual has been compiled not only for the care and maintenance of the Welch Aspiration/Filtration
Vacuum System now in your possession, but as a helpful reference and guide to prevent many problems
which may occur if used improperly.
2.20 Unpacking
2.21 Carefully remove the Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum System from the shipping case. Preserve all
paperwork for future reference. If damage has occurred from shipment a claim must be filed with the
carrier immediately; preserve the shipping carton for inspection by the carrier. If you are required to
communicate with your dealer or Welch Vacuum, be sure to include your order numbers for quick
identification. Do not return the pump to the factory without first calling for a returned goods number.
2.30 Pump Mounting
2.31 Rubber feet are attached to the pump. Rubber feet are excellent for applications involving a
semi-flexible surface such as a bench top; they help to isolate noise and eliminate creeping.
All Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum Systems should be mounted on a horizontal plane.
2.40 Pump Location
2.41 The Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum System should be located preferably in a clean, dry, and well
ventilated area. Please be sure not to block the ventilation holes located on the motor housing. The
system should be placed where the surrounding temperature remains between 10°C and 40°C
(50°F and 104°F). Always check to insure the location chosen is protected from direct or indirect
moisture contact. Welch recommends that the pump be installed at the highest point within the system
to prevent possible water condensate from entering the pump. The pump should be located as closely to
its system in order to utilize it most efficiently.
WARNING
The motor is thermally protected and will automatically restart unexpectedly
when the overload device resets. Don’t pump flammable or explosive gases or
vapors or operate this pump in an atmosphere containing flammable or
explosive gases or vapors.

2.50 Intake And Discharge Provision
2.51 The vacuum regulator and vacuum dial gauge is attached to the collection jar. The vacuum regulator
allows the vacuum level to be set between roughly atmospheric pressure and the maximum vacuum
allowed for the pump model. The collection jar and hydrophobic filter keeps water from accidentally
being drawn into the unit. The regulator allows discharge pressure to be set between atmospheric and
the maximum possible for the pump model. Model 2511 is equipped with a pressure port.
Note: Adjusting the vacuum regulators will affect the performance of the pump.
WARNING
Never block the discharge port. If the exhaust is blocked, pressure will build-up
in the pump above its rated operating pressure.
Be sure to call Welch technical service prior to start up at 847-676-8800 if you have any questions.

2.60 Electrical Power
2.61 Power Source Review
Review the power source and the motor rating to be sure they agree in voltage, phase, and frequency.
Serious damage may occur to the motor if it is connected to an improper voltage. All Welch pumps must
be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of an electrical short circuit.
The plug must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Consult your local electrical codes if you
have doubts.
2.62 Overload Protection (Model 2515)
Motor thermal overload protection is made available by the motor manufacturer as an aid to minimize
motor failure. Overload protection is a standard feature on both 50 and 60 Hz single-phase-motors.
The motors have automatic overload protection. Automatic reset protection is designed to reset itself
after a predetermined cooling period. If the fault to the drive remains unaltered, the motor will cycle on
and off until the fault is corrected.
2.63 Servicing of Double-Insulated Product (Model 2511)
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for grounding
to be added to the product. Servicing of a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for the
double-insulated product must be identical to those parts in the product.
2.64 Classification And Symbol Glossary
2.70 Vacuum Connection
2.71 For best results, Welch recommends the length of the tubing between the pump and the chamber be
kept as small as possible.
2.80 Vacuum Gauges
2.81 All Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum Systems come with dial vacuum gauges. The vacuum gauge gives
negative pressure - That is pressure below atmospheric. The reference point for the gauge is
atmospheric pressure.
2.90 Traps
2.91 The need for a Trap
The pumps will handle humid air. All wetted aluminum parts are treated for corrosion protection from
moisture. All other wetted parts are stainless steel. A plastic trap with a float valve is attached to the
regulator assembly to prevent water condensate from accidentally being ingested into the pump.
See figure below.
WARNING
The pump is not recommended for pumping acid, base or organic vapors
or gases. Serious damage to the pump will shorten the pump’s service life.
In addition, pumping flammable vapors or gases can lead to serious safety
hazard leading to fire or explosion.

SECTION 3: OPERATION
3.10 Starting Procedures
3.11 Starting aWelch Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum System
Before attaching the pump to a system, familiarize yourself with the function and action of the
Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum System that you have acquired. Review the power requirements as
described in Section 2.60. Welch recommends running the pump for a few minutes to warm it up, before
use. The warm-up improves the pumps ability to handle humid air. Set the device on a level, sturdy
surface so the controls can be easily reached and adjusted. Connect one end of the application tubing
to the lid vacuum port.
Note: The in-line hydrophobic filter is designed to prevent foreign material from being
drawn into the device. Pump performance may decrease if the hydrophobic filter gets wet or
build up of forgein materialsor Medfilter occurs. It may be necessary to periodically change
the hydrophobic filter
CAUTION
Do not move this device with a full collection jar.
1. Be sure that the power switch is in the OFF (down) position. Plug in the device and turn the
switch to the ON (up) position.
2. Block the application tube leading from the collection jar and allow the gauge to reach stable
vacuum level.
3. Set vacuum level by turning the regulator knob counter-clockwise to increase vacuum or
clockwise to decrease vacuum..
Note: This procedure should be performed each time you use this device.
3.12 Cleaning The Device
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (down) position.
2. Unplug the device from the wall outlet and allow suction level to drop.
3. Remove the application tube from the lid vacuum port. Tubing should be cleaned after every use.
Run hot water through it. Soak in a solution of one part of vinegar to three parts hot water
for 20 minutes. Rinse with hot tap water and air dry.
4. Remove the pump tubing from the top of the jar lid.
5. Remove the jar from the holder and place on a firm, flat surface. Release the tabs and lift the lid
from the jar.
6. Wash the jar, gasket, lid and tube in a hot water/dishwashing detergeant solution and rinse with
hot tap water. Soak in a solution of one part of vinegar to three parts hot water for 20 minutes.
Rinse with hot tap water and air dry.
7. Wipe the outside of the case with a clean, damp cloth after each use.
3.20 Leak Detection
3.21 The importance of eliminating all leaks in a vacuum system is obvious. The pump must remove this
added volume of leaked gas to maintain the desired vacuum. Leaks for these pumps can be located by
slightly pressuring the system and painting the suspected area with a thick soap solution. Escaping air
will produce soap bubbles.

3.30 Operating Pressure Range
3.31 Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum Systems are designed to be run from slightly below atmospheric to their
maximum vacuum level on the intake side. The pumps also may be run from atmospheric to their
maximum rated pressure rating (Model 2511 only). Consult the Specification Table for the ratings of
your specific model (See Section 6, Specifications).
3.40 Shutdown Procedures
3.41 After use, Welch recommends the pump be run for about 2 minutes disconnected from the vacuum
process. The air pumped through the mechanism will purge out water vapor or droplets of water
condensate that may have formed on the inside of the pump. This purge of the pump mechanism helps
prevent corrosion.
SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
4.10 Maintenance Procedures
4.11 Maintaining a Welch Aspiration/Filtration Vacuum System
These units are 100% oil-free. The pump employs a non-lube piston and cylinder. No maintenance is
necessary for the bearings. All bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated. Lubrication should not
be attempted. The units are built for continuous duty operation with the quietness and durability of a
diaphragm, but with piston performance.
4.12 Hydrophobic Filter Replacement
Change the filter whenever foreign material is drawn into it or if you notice a reduction in vacuum level.
1. Disconnect the long tube from the fitting on top of the jar lid.
2. Gently pull the hydrophobic filter off of the short tube, that is connected to the
regulator inlet port, and then remove the long tube from the hydrophobic filter .
3. With the green dot facing down, push the new hydrophobic filter into the short tube,
that is connected to the regulator inlet port, then push the long tube.
4. Connect the long tube to the green dot facing barb, and then connect to the fitting
on top of the jar lid.

SECTION 5: TROUBLESHOOTING
5.10 VACUUM PROBLEMS
5.11 Leakage, contamination, and unusual outgassing are the general causes of problems associated with
poor vacuum. To operate at maximum efficiency, a system must be thoroughly clean. If the system
is completely clean and free from leaks and unwarranted vacuum problems still exist, the pump should
be checked. A simple criterion for the condition of the pump is the determination of its maximum
vacuum capability. This can be accomplished by blocking of the intake and reading the vacuum level on
the gauge (See Section 2.80).
5.20 PRESSURE PROBLEMS
5.21 Leakage and contamination are the general causes of problems associated with poor pressure.
To operate at maximum efficiency a system must be thoroughly clean. If the system is completely
clean and free from leaks and unwarranted pressure problems still exist, the pump/compressor should be
checked by a service technician.
