Safety
Intended Use
Definition
: For the purpose of these instructions, “handling” the
vacuum pump means the transport, storage, installation, commission-
ing, influence on operating conditions, maintenance, troubleshooting
and overhaul of the vacuum pump.
The vacuum pump is intended for industrial use. It shall be handled
only by qualified personnel.
The allowed media and operational limits (
page 3: Product De-
scription) and the installation prerequisites (
page 5: Installation
Prerequisites) of the vacuum pump shall be observed both by the
manufacturer of the machinery into which the vacuum pump is to be
incorporated and by the operator.
The maintenance instructions shall be observed.
Prior to handling the vacuum pump these installation and operating
instructions shall be read and understood. If anything remains to be
clarified please contact your Busch representative!
Safety Notes
The vacuum pump has been designed and manufactured according to
state-of-the-art methods. Nevertheless, residual risks may remain.
These operating instructions highlight potential hazards where appro-
priate. Safety notes are tagged with one of the keywords DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION as follows:
DANGER
_a
Disregard of this safety note will always lead to accidents with fa-
tal or serious injuries.
WARNING
_a
Disregard of this safety note may lead to accidents with fatal or se-
rious injuries.
CAUTION
_a
Disregard of this safety note may lead to accidents with minor inju-
ries or property damage.
Emission of Oil Mist
CAUTION
_a
The non-OEM spares market offers exhaust filters that are geomet-
rically compatible with Busch-vacuum pumps, but do not feature
the high retention capacity of genuine Busch-exhaust filters.
Increased risk of damage to health.
In order to keep the emission on the lowest possible level only gen-
uine Busch-exhaust filters shall be used.
The oil in the process gas is separated to the greatest possible extent,
but not perfectly.
CAUTION
_a
The gas conveyed by the vacuum pump contains remainders of oil.
Aspiration of process gas over extended periods can be harmful.
The room into which the process gas is discharged must be suffi-
ciently vented.
Note
: The possibly sensible smell is not caused by droplets of oil,
though, but either by gaseous process components or by readily vola-
tile and thus gaseous components of the oil (particularly additives).
Noise Emission
For the sound pressure level in free field according to EN ISO 2151
page 2: Technical Data.
Transport
Note
: Also a vacuum pump, that is not topped up with oil contains res-
idues of oil (from the test run). Always transport and store the vacuum
pump in upright position. Do not put the vacuum pump on its side nor
put it upside down.
Transport in Packaging
Vacuum pumps individually packed in cardboard boxes can be carried
by hand.
Packed on a pallet the vacuum pump is to be transported with a
forklift.
Transport without Packaging
In case the vacuum pump is packed in a cardboard box with inflated
cushions:
Remove the inflated cushions from the box
In case the vacuum pump is in a cardboard box cushioned with rolled
corrugated cardboard:
Remove the corrugated cardboard from the box
In case the vacuum pump is laid in foam:
Remove the foam
Version without handle:
Grasp the vacuum pump with both hands
Version with handle:
Carry the vacuum pump using the handle
CAUTION
_a
Tilting a vacuum pump that is already filled with oil can cause large
quantities of oil to ingress into the cylinder.
Starting the vacuum pump with excessive quantities of oil in the cyl-
inder will immediately break the vanes and ruin the vacuum pump.
Once the vacuum pump is filled with oil it shall not be lifted any-
more.
Prior to every transport make sure that the oil is drained
Storage
Short-term Storage
Make sure that the suction connection and the gas discharge are
closed (leave the provided plugs in)
Store the vacuum pump
–
if possible in original packaging,
–
indoors,
