Transport and Storing
2.1 Transport and packaging
Sogevac
®
vacuum pumps pass a rigorous operating test in our factory and
are packaged to avoid transport damages.
Please check packaging on delivery for transport damages.
Packing materials should be disposed off according to environmental laws or
re-cycled. These operating instructions are part of the consignment.
The connection ports are blanked off by plastic protective caps or self-
adhesives. Take these caps or self-adhesives away before turning on the
pump.
For SV40 B and SV65 B, the necessary oil is supplied in a can beside the
pump. For the SV100 B, the oil is filled in.
2.2 Mounting orientation
See required space on drawings in paragraph 1.2.
Pumps which have been filled with oil must only be moved in the upright
position (horizontally). Otherwise oil may escape. The angle of slope may not
be over 10° max. Avoid any other orientations while moving the pump.
Only use the lifting lugs which are provided on the pump to lift the pump with
the specified lifting devices.
Use only lifting devices appropriated to the pump weight. Check name plate.
Do not use other pump elements than the lifting lugs as handles.
Make sure that these have been installed safety. Use suitable lifting
equipment. Make sure that all safety regulations are observed.
2.3 Storing
Before stocking the pump for a long time put it back in its original condition
(blank off inlet and exhaust ports with the shipping seals, drain the oil) and
store the pump in a dry place at room temperature.
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 - 168 °F). Before
taking the pump out of service, it should be properly disconnected from the
vacuum system, purged with dry nitrogen and the oil should be exchange
too. The gas ballast must be closed and if the pump is to be shelved for a
longer period of time is should be sealed in a plastic bag together with a
desiccant (Silicagel).
If the pump has been shelved for over one year, standard maintenance must
be done and the oil must be exchanged too before the pump is put in to
service once more.
We recommend that you contact the service from Leybold.
