Establishing the vacuum connection
1. Make sure that the cone stainer and centering ring are in the intake duct.
2. Remove the protective cap from the vacuum flange.
3. Be careful with the cone sieve and O-ring in the intake port.
4. Establish the shortest possible connection between the pump and vacuum chamber; equivalent to
the nominal flange diameter as a minimum.
5. Depending on the pump type, use metallic hoses or PVC hoses with flange connections.
6. Make sure that no piping system forces are acting on the pump.
7. Support or hang the pipes.
8. Connect both flanges with a suitable circlip.
9. Protect the pump from sucking in impurities through suitable measures.
10. Use a separator or filter if necessary

5.3 Connecting the exhaust side
WARNING
Danger of poisoning due to emission of toxic process gases from the exhaust
During operation with no exhaust line, the vacuum pump allows exhaust gases and vapors to escape
freely into the air. In processes involving toxic media, there is a risk of injury and danger to life due to
poisoning.
► Observe the relevant regulations for handling toxic substances.
► Safely purge toxic process gases via an exhaust line.
► Use suitable filter equipment to separate toxic substances.
