USE CONDITIONS AND LIMITS - LIST OF DANGERS
Installation must comply, for EC countries, with directive 98/37/CE and later
amendments, while for the other countries it must comply with local safety standards.
This vacuum pump is designed to create a vacuum or a pressure inside the connected
tank. No liquid, dust and solid material must enter the vacuum pump because this may
damage it. It is necessary therefore to provide the equipment with safety overfill valves.
Any use of the vacuum pump different from that described in this manual, is to be
considered as strictly forbidden, not foreseen by the Manufacturer and thus highly
dangerous.
Do not use the vacuum pump for flammable materials, explosives or materials that
release flammable gas.
Do not use the vacuum pump in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Never remove the guards provided on the vacuum pump and check for their
efficiency each time the machine is used.
Any maintenance work must be performed with machine stopped.
Non-compliance with the indications of this manual can result in the following dangers:
Danger of crushing due to the weight of the vacuum pump during handling and
transport.
Danger of entanglement in the moving parts in case of removal of the guards.
Thermal dangers due to high temperature reached by the vacuum pump.
Acoustic danger due to the noise generated and to lack of use of personal hearing
protection devices.
Shearing danger for the operator during test with suction and/or discharge hoses
detached from the pump.
Danger of projection of solid and liquid materials due to severe breakage of the
vacuum pump.
