5.9 Exchanging the Bearings
For ATEX applications the pump must be completely refurbished every
15,000 operating hours or every three years, including replacement of the
bearings and the coupling as well as inspecting the toothed wheels. For this
please ask us for a quotation.
5.10 Service at Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum
If you send a pump to Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum indicate whether the pump
is free of substances damaging to health or whether it is contaminated.
If it is contaminated also indicate the nature of hazard. To do so, you must
use a preprinted form which we shall send to you upon request.
A copy of this form is reproduced at the end of these Operating Instructions:
“Declaration of Contamination of Compressors, Vacuum Pumps and
Components”. Moreover, you may download a suitable form from the
Internet: www.oerlikon.com/leyboldvacuum

Documents.
Please attach this form to the pump or enclose it with the pump.
This “Declaration of Contamination” is required to meet the requirements of
German Law and to protect our personnel.
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum must return any pumps without a “Declaration of
Contamination” to the sender’s address.
Before packaging (respectively shipping) the pump it should, if possible, be
purged with inert gas, but as a minimum requirement it should be completely
emptied of all pumped substances.
The pump must be packed in such a way, that it will not be damaged dur-
ing shipping and so that any contaminants are not released from the pack-
age.
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is not in a position to perform servicing (repairs)
and waste disposal of radioactively contaminated pumps. Both needs to
be ensured from the side of the user.
