3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Safety
• A suitably trained and supervised technician must install the pump.
• Wear the appropriate safety-clothing when you come into contact with contaminated components.
• Vent and purge your vacuum system before you start installation work.
• Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the
pump-oil and the products processed by the pumping system. Take suitable precautions to avoid
the inhalation of oil mist and excessive skin contact with pump -oil, as prolonged exposure can be
harmful.
• Disconnect the other components in the pumping system from the electrical supply so that they
cannot be operated accidentally.
• Safely route any electrical supply cables so that they cannot accidentally trip people.
• You must ensure that the E2M28 or E2M30 pump is suitable for your application. If you have any
doubts as to the suitability of the pump for your application, refer to the BOC Edwards guidelines
on vacuum pump and vacuum system safety (see the Associated Publication at the end of the
contents list at the front of this manual).
