Risks during maintenance, decommissioning and malfunctions
WARNING
Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices
Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work,
there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub-
stances causes environmental damage.
► Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
► Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
► Wear protective equipment.
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock in the event of a fault
In the event of a fault, devices connected to the mains may be live. There is a danger to life from
electric shock when making contact with live components.
► Always keep the mains connection freely accessible so you can disconnect it at any time.
WARNING
Health hazard and risk of environmental damage from toxic contaminated operating fluid
Toxic process media can cause operating fluid contamination. When changing the operating fluid,
there is a health hazard due to contact with poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic substan-
ces causes environmental damage.
► Wear suitable personal protective equipment when handling these media.
► Dispose of the operating fluid according to locally applicable regulations.

WARNING
Tilting danger! Serious injury due to tilting of the product
There is a danger of the vacuum pump not attached tipping over due to changes in the center of
gravity or incorrect loading. Serious injuries due to trapping or crushing of limbs, e.g. feet, are the re-
sult.
► Do not use the vacuum pump as a climbing aid.
► Do not exert any force on the product.
► Ensure that the product has a safe centre of gravity, when mounting components.
► Wear protective equipment , e.g. protective shoes
CAUTION
Risk of injury from entrapment of body parts
After a power failure or a standstill as a result of overheating, the motor restarts automatically. A risk
exists of minor injury to fingers and hands (e.g., hematoma), from direct contact with the vacuum
flange.
► Maintain sufficient distance to the vacuum flange during all work.
► Safely disconnect motor from the mains.
► Secure the motor against re-start.
