WARNING:
Use of this pump in a manner not specifically stated in
this user guide could result in severe bodily injury.
Read and understand the information in this owner’s manual before
operating the pressure/vacuum pump.
■
The vacuum pump should be operated in a dry clean and well ven-
tilated area.
■
When the unit is not in use, wrap the power cord around the vacuum
pump and store in a dry place. Do not abuse the cord.
■
Replace the Millex-FG
50
vent filter (SLFG 050 10) if necessary.
■
Inspect hose, plug and cord for signs of damage before use. Do not
use if a deficiency is found. Never operate a damaged unit. Contact
Millipore for replacement parts; see Technical Assistance section for
details.
■
This vacuum pump needs no lubrication. Applying oil to any part
could result in polluted air delivery to the air-handling equipment
and will damage the pump.
■
To operate at maximum efficiency, the pump system must be thor-
oughly clean. Refer to the Maintenance section for details on prop-
erly cleaning the pump.
■
All vacuum pumps generate heat, even under normal operating
conditions. To avoid serious burns, never touch the head parts and
tubing, during and immediately after operation.
■
Do not carry the pump by the tube that runs between the two
heads. This is not a handle and will not bear the weight of the
pump.
