Transport and Storing
2 Transport and Storing
Pumps which have been filled with operating agent must only be moved in the
upright position (horizontally). The angle of slope may not be over 10° max. Oth-
erwise oil may escape. Avoid any other orientations during transportation.
Check the pump for the presence of any oil leaks, because there is the danger
that someone may slip on the oil which has leaked from the pump.
Only use the lifting lugs which are provided on the pump to lift the pump with the
specified lifting devices.
Until the pump is put back in to service again, the pump should be stored in a dry
place, preferably at room temperature (20 °C) but not below 0°C.
Before taking the pump out of service, it should be properly disconnected from the
vacuum system, purged with dry nitrogen and oil should be exchanged too. The
inlet and exhaust ports of the pump must be blanked off using the shipping seals
which are included upon delivery of the pump.
The gas ballast must be closed and if the pump is to be shelved for a longer peri-
od of time it should be sealed in a plastic bag together with a desiccant
(Silicagel).
If the pump has been shelved for more than one year, standard maintenance
must be run and oil must be exchanged too before the pump is put into service
again. We recommend that you contact the service from Leybold.
