Changing oil and oil filter
The first oil change must take place after 100 operating hours. Afterwards, the
interval increases to ~ 3000 hours or twice per year.
The vacuum pump must be at operating state temperature when the oil is changed:
Put the FAM into operation for 10 minutes.
Switch off the FAM at the main switch.
Wait until the pressure in the vacuum column has reached atmospheric pressure
(~ 1000 mbar absolute).
To perform these tasks, you will need the following tools and equipment:
Compressor oil VE101 (for part-no., see replacement parts list)
Maintenance set, comprising oil filter, air deoiling element, ventilation
cover seal (for part-no., see replacement parts list).

2.
Open the oil drain (c) and allow the used oil to drain into the container.
Dispose of the used oil properly.
3.
Close the screw plug when the flow of oil diminishes.
Let the pump run again briefly for a few seconds,
4.
Open the plug screw once again and drain off the remaining oil.
5.
Screw in the screw plug and tighten it firmly.
6.
Remove the oil filter and dispose of it properly.
