Hi all,
I have recently received a vacuum pump for bagging stuff to throw at the
skies, and it works quite well drawing 26 inches fairly quickly.
Before I use it though, I'd like to ask the knowledgeable folks how to
lubricate it. It has a bit of a squeal as it runs, and a plate on the back
says to lube it every 10 years or so at normal duty.
I have no idea how old it is, but the squeal concerns me and I'd like to
lube it as a precaution before I start running the poor thing for 12 hours
at a stretch.
I don't see any lubrication fittings.
Any help that could be offered would be very much appreciated,
Thanks
Dan
