Whenever you send us in equipment, indicate whether the equipment is
contaminated or is free of substances which could pose a health hazard.
If it is contaminated, 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
Instructions: “Declaration of Contamination for Compressors, Vacuum Pumps
and Components”. Another suitable form is available from

Attach the form to the equipment or enclose it with the equipment.
This statement detailing the type of contamination is required to satisfy legal
requirements and for the protection of our employees.
We must return to the sender any equipment which is not accompanied by a
contamination 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
regulations.

Checking the oil
A. Oil level
The oil level shall be checked at least once a day and must be, while the
pump is in operation, close to the MAX marks. Should the oil level be below
the MIN mark switch off the pump, check it (see chapter 4) and add the
required amount of oil.
Oil level may drop when pump is operating due to oil distribution in the
pump.
B. Oil Change
Oil must be changed after the first year of service. Further oil changes must
be done annually. If there is considerable pollution, it could be necessary to
change the oil more frequently.
Oil changing must be done with a switched off and still warm pump. Open
the oil drain plug and let the used oil run out into an appropriate container.
Refasten the oil drain plug when oil runs slowly. Switch ON the pump briefly
(5 sec. max.) and switch OFF immediately. Reopen the oil drain plug and
drain the rest of the oil.
Additional warning note: more frequent oil changes may be necessary if the
ambient temperature is above 30 °C.
Before refastening the oil drain plug, inspect the o-ring and verify that it is
free of particulate and is seated properly. Replace if necessary.
The pump should be "flushed" if there is considerable pollution.
