5.3 Leybold Service
Whenever you send us in equipment, indicate whether the equipment is contami-
nated or is free of substances which could pose a health hazard. If it is contami-
nated, specify exactly which substances are involved. You must use the form we
have prepared for this purpose.
A copy of the form has been reproduced at the end of these Operating Instruc-
tions: “Declaration of Contamination for Compressors, Vacuum Pumps and Com-
ponents”. Another suitable form is available from the Leybold home-page:
www.leybold.com → Downloads → Download Documents → Declaration of Con-
tamination
Attach the form to the equipment or enclose it with the equipment.
This statement detailing the type of contamination is required to satisfy legal re-
quirements and for the protection of our employees.
We must return to the sender any equipment which is not accompanied by a con-
tamination statement.
The pump must be packaged in such a way that it will not be damaged during
shipping, and so that no harmful substances can escape from the package.
When disposing of used oil, please observe the relevant environmental regula-
tions.
5.4 Maintenance Work
A. Oil level
The oil level should be checked at least once a day. If the oil level is below the
“MAX” mark, oil has to be added until the level reaches the mark. If the oil level is
below the “MIN” mark, stop the pump and check it (see chapter 6).
B. Oil changing
See safety information page 3.
Oil must be changed after the first 150 operating hours. Further oil changes, de-
pending on operating conditions (products, vapours, ambient temperature…)
must be done every 500 to 2 000 operating hours or at least every 6 months.
If there is considerable pollution, it could be necessary to change the oil more fre-
quently.
Oil changing must be done with a switched off and still warm pump.
Open the oil drain plug and let run out the used oil into an appropriate container.
Refasten the oil drain plug when oil runs slower, start up the pump briefly (5 sec.
max) and switch off immediately. Reopen the oil drain plug and drain the rest of
the oil. Before refastening the oil drain plug, inspect the O-ring and if necessary
replace it. Open the oil fill plug and pour in clean oil; refasten the oil fill plug. The
pump has to be rinsed out if there is considerable pollution. Therefore pour in
clean oil up to the low edge of the oil level glass, let the pump run briefly (for a
few minutes) then drain the oil again.
