CHECK FOR LEAK-TIGHT FITTINGS
Before proceeding to instrument setup, carefully check all plumbing connections to the
instrument to ensure leak-tight installation.
OPERATE AT SAFE INLET PRESSURES
This unit should never be operated at pressures higher than the rated maximum pressure (refer to
the product specifications for the maximum allowable pressure).
INSTALL A SUITABLE BURST DISC
When operating from a pressurized gas source, a suitable burst disc should be installed in the
vacuum system to prevent system explosion should the system pressure rise.
KEEP THE UNIT FREE OF CONTAMINANTS
Do not allow contaminants of any kind to enter the unit before or during use. Contamination
such as dust, dirt, lint, glass chips, and metal chips may permanently damage the unit.
