8.4 Replacing the Operation Fluid Reservoir
Under normal operating conditions the operation fluid reservoir needs to be
exchanged at least once a year. Under extreme stress or dirty environment, please
contact your INFICON Service representative for special recommendations.
Notice: The operation fluid reservoir has a limited shelf life. Please order only when
needed.
1
Switch off the Ecotec E3000 and wait at least 5 minutes until the turbo molecular
pump has reached atmoshperic pressure and has cooled down.
2
To exchange the operation fluid reservoir, place the Ecotec E3000 on its front-side
or position it on the edge of a sturdy bench.
If placing it on the edge of a bench, please pay attention to its center of gravity.
If placing it on its front-side, please remove the sniffer line and the built-in ECO-
Check first.
To prevent scratching of the front-cover, it is recommended to use a soft base.
3
Open bottom lid with 19 mm ring spanner wrench and lift out operation fluid reservoir
using two small screw drivers (see Fig. 8-6 ).
Warning
Before exchanging the operation fluid reservoir the Ecotec E3000 must be
disconnected from power.
Caution
The operation fluid reservoir may contain toxic substances from the pumped media.
Please dispose of operation fluid reservoir as required by local regulations. A Safety
Data sheet for the operation fluid is available on request.
