3.0 Component Review
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 uid level in the tank.
It can handle a 3” uid level drop
once installed.
The chip screen will prevent large oating 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 ow 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 xed 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 ttings for vacuum loss prevention
Pump Prelter
The pump prelter 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 lter 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 uid through the
system, thorough inspection of the intake attachment,
connectors, hoses, and ttings 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.
