Installation

3.10.3

Check the direction of rotation

CAUTION

Ensure that the pump motor rotates in the correct direction. If it does not, the pump and the vacuum system
can become pressurised.

1. Watch the motor cooling fan through the motor fan cover (

Figure 1

, item 13).

2. Use the on/off switch (12) to switch on the electrical supply to the motor for a few seconds.

3. Check that the motor cooling fan rotates in the correct direction (14) shown by the arrow on the motor fan

cover. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, switch off the electrical supply immediately and contact the
supplier or Edwards for advice.

3.11

Inlet and outlet connections

CAUTION

Ensure that the outlet hose is routed below the level of the pump outlet. If not, condensates may drain back
into the pump and damage it.

Use suitable

-inch inside diameter hose to connect the vacuum system to the inlet (

Figure 1

, item 3) on the inlet

catchpot and to connect the outlet (5) on the oil mist filter to the exhaust extraction system.

3.12

Leak test the system

Leak test the system after installation is complete and seal any leaks found to prevent leakage of hazardous
substances out of the system and leakage of air into the system.

WARNING

Connect the exhaust to a suitable treatment plant to prevent the discharge of dangerous gases and
vapours to the surrounding atmosphere.
