Installing the pump inlet facing up
When handling the pump,
a lifting device appropriate for the weight of the product must be used
.
The weight and center of gravity vary depending on the model (see chapters “Technical data” and “Di-
mensions”).
1. Affix the pump to the lifting device by using the holes designed and labelled for this purpose to
avoid the tilting of the pump.
2. Keep the pump attached to the lifting device until the high vacuum flange is secured.
5.3 Connecting to the pumping line
The presence of pyrophoric, flammable or toxic materials in the pump can lead to additional risks, which
the operator must assess and manage for the entire pumping installation.
The user and/or product OEM is ultimately responsible for the equipment and must apply the specific
safety instructions, in accordance with local regulation.
DANGER
Danger of death by fire when pumping flammable gases
There is a fire risk caused by an unintended chemical reaction (ignition) between two pumped flam-
mable materials.
► Provide an electromechanical LEL detection device in the extraction system (detection capability
at 25% of the LEL) that will stop chemical supply to the pump when gas is detected over 25% of
the LEL for that flammable material.
WARNING
Risk of crushing and/or cutting in case of contact with moving parts
The pump inlet flange is large enough for body part (finger or hand) to be inserted into it, presenting a
risk of crushing due to contact with moving parts. The inlet and exhaust ports should be sealed with
blanking plates before connection.
► Wait for the pumping line to be connected before removing the blanking plates.
►
Wait for the pump to be connected before powering on.
