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
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
Ú

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
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
In case the vacuum pump is bolted to a pallet or a base plate:
◆
Remove the bolting between the vacuum pump and the pal-
let/base plate
In case the vacuum pump is fastened to the pallet by means of tighten-
ing straps:
◆
Remove the tightening straps
CAUTION
_af
Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads.
●
Make sure that the eyebolt (b) is in faultless condition (replace a
damaged, e.g. bent eyebolt with a new one)
●
Make sure that the eyebolt (b) is fully screwed in and tightened by
hand
●
Attach lifting gear securely to the eyebolt (b) on the oil separator
●
Attach the lifting gear to a crane hook with safety latch
●
Lift the vacuum pump with a crane
In case the vacuum pump was bolted to a pallet or a base plate:
◆
Remove the stud bolts from the rubber feet
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 (i) 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
Version with gas ballast without ball-valve, with sinter metal filter:
◆
Close the sinter metal filter of the gas ballast device with adhe-
sive tape
●
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,
–
dry,
–
dust free and
–
vibration free
Conservation
In case of adverse ambient conditions (e.g. aggressive atmosphere, fre-
quent temperature changes) conserve the vacuum pump immediately.
In case of favourable ambient conditions conserve the vacuum pump if
a storage of more than 3 months is scheduled.
During the test run in the factory the inside of the vacuum pump was
completely wetted with oil. Under normal conditions a treatment with
conservation oil is therefore not required. In case it is advisable to treat
the vacuum pump with conservation oil because of very adverse stor-
age conditions, seek advice from your Busch representative!
Version with gas ballast without ball-valve, with sinter metal filter:
◆
Close the sinter metal filter of the gas ballast with adhesive
tape
●
Make sure that all ports are firmly closed; seal all ports that are not
sealed with PTFE-tape, gaskets or o-rings with adhesive tape
Note : VCI stands for “volatile corrosion inhibitor”. VCI-products (film,
paper, cardboard, foam) evaporate a substance that condenses in mo-
