Warning
Contamination
Form
5.8
Service by Leybold
Whenever you send a pump to Leybold, indicate whether the pump is con-
taminated or is free of substances which could pose a health hazard. If it is
contaminated, specify exactly which substances are involved. You must
use the form we have prepared for this purpose; we will forward the form
on request.
A copy of the form is printed at the end of these operating instructions:
„Declaration of contamination of vacuum equipment and components“.
Another suitable form is available from the Leybold homepage:
http://www.leybold.com under the headline “Support & Download”.
Attach the form to the pump or enclose it with the pump.
This statement detailing the contamination is required to satisfy legal requi-
rements and for the protection of our employees.
Pumps which are not accompanied by a contamination statement will be
returned to the sender.
The pump must be packed in such a way, that it will not be damaged
during shipping and so that any contaminants are not released from the
package.
5.8.1
Waste Disposal of Used Pump
Materials
The corresponding environmental and safety regulations apply. This applies
equally to used filters and filter elements (oil filter, exhaust filter and dust
filter).
In the case of hazardous substances determine the kind of hazard first
and observe the applicable safety regulations. If the potential hazard still
persists, the pump must be decontaminated before starting with any
maintenance work. For professional decontamination we recommend our
Leybold service.
Never exchange the oil or the filters while the pump is still warm. Let the
pump cool down to uncritical temperatures first. You must wear suitable
protective clothing.
