Checking the colour of the oil
NOTE : The oil must be clear and transparent. A permanent milky

colour is an indication for oil that has been chemically altered or con-
taminated by foreign bodies.
WARNING
Dark colored oil may indicate a hazardous pump condition which
could cause personal injury.
If dark oil similar to the example shown is observed, you have to
contact the Busch Customer Service without delay.
Oil change
WARNING
If the vacuum system has pumped gases that were contaminated
with foreign bodies that are hazardous to health, the oil is also
contaminated with these foreign bodies.
There is a health hazard when changing contaminated oil.
There is also a danger to the environment.
Wear protective clothing when replacing contaminated oil.
Contaminated oil must be treated specially and must be disposed
of according to applicable regulations.

temperature wait no more than 20 minutes before the oil is drained.
