Page: 4 / 24

Cooling
CAUTION
Operating the motor without water cooling will destroy the motor.
Water must be neutral and clean. It must fulfill the following
conditions :
Temperature of water :
10-15°C at inlet
Quantity of cooling water : 4 l/min.
To ensure the flow rate regulation of the cooling water, we
recommend to fit a regulating valve at the cooling water inlet.
The Roots WY 4500 C has cooling systems in both cylinder covers
(cooling coils). These cooling systems are separated from each other.
A recirculating water-cooling system into the outlet flange enables a
stable temperature of the oil and the bearings.
Cooling water connection:
The cooling water connection can be made with flexible hoses or water
pipes (Connection: 1/4"). The water outlet must be without pressure.
Initial filling-up with cooling water:
- Remove the safety caps from the connections. Connect up the two
hoses at the water inlet.
- Fill in water until water flows out at the outlet.
- Connect up the two hoses at the water outlet.
On/ Off switch
The vacuum pump comes without on/ off switch. The control of the
vacuum pump must be provided in the course of the installation.

non-insulated vacuum pump must wear suitable hearing protection.
Transport
Roots vacuum pumps undergo a rigorous operating test in the factory
and are packed carefully to avoid transport damage.
The inlet and outlet flange are sealed with plugs so that no dirt can
enter the pump during transport. These covers must be removed
before connecting up the pump.
Please check packaging for transport damage on delivery.
The pump can be lifted from the packaging with suitable lifting gear
using the lifting brackets on the pump.
The packaging materials must be disposed of in accordance with
