Sumpster™ Skimmer

This free-standing skimmer in- take attachment can be mount- ed on the provided rod or on the sump wall with a magnet, de- pending upon your tank depth. Position the Sumpster so the top of the box is 1/4” ABOVE the maximum fluid level in the tank. It can handle a 3” fluid level drop once installed.

The chip screen will prevent large floating chips, such as aluminum and plastic, from clogging the intake hose or damaging the pump diaphragms and other internal pump components. Periodically clean the debris to maintain the 1 gpm flow rate of the system and to maxi- mize the pump life.

Oil Wand™ Skimmer

This manual at- tachment is used to clean machine ways and other hard to access

machine and

sump areas, which also tend to accumulate oil.

Just connect it to the intake hose when ready to use.

Cam Lock Quick-Connectors

We supply these con- nectors standard with the Sierra. The female is permanently fixed to the oil intake hose and the male to the end of the intake attachment. Before making the con-

nection, verify that the interiors of these connectors are free of chips, debris, and oil residue to maintain a tight seal.

Hoses

The 1/2”, clear braided hose is industrial strength and will with- stand use with water, coolants, and oils. Over time, however, they may become stiff, depend- ing upon your overall tank condi- tions.

You may contact your distributor for replacement hose or choose your own. If choosing your own, please se- lect a grade that has a wall thickness comparable to our standard to prevent wall collapse and thus poor system performance. Periodically inspect them for any block- ages caused by debris to maintain system performance and maximize pump life.

Push-to-Connect Fittings

Zebra uses Department of Transportation-rated push- to-connect fittings for vacuum loss prevention

Pump Prefilter

The pump prefilter is made of stainless steel with 500µ pores to prevent debris from damaging the pump.

It may be cleaned and reused as

long as the mesh integrity is maintained. After cleaning and reinstallation, verify that the filter housing and o-ring is free of debris to prevent vacuum loss.

Pressure Limiter

Zebra incorporates a pressure limiter to prevent over-pressurization of the pump diaphragms, which leads to immediate pump failure.

If more than 85psi is needed to draw fluid through the system, thorough inspection of the intake attachment, connectors, hoses, and fittings is needed. It is likely that there is a vacuum leak caused by an improper seal of one of the above components or there is a debris block- age in the system.
