Safety instructions for maintenance
For normal operation, the maintenance of 2033-2063 m
3
/h series pumps only require
regular oil changes (
see page 41
).
Insufficient tightness after servicing could result in chemical hazards. Always
perform a leak test after maintenance.
Certain gases can become corrosive and toxic when trapped in oil. Always
wear protective gloves when handling used and dirty pump oil, drain it
into a closable container, and do not breathe the oil fumes. Always use
fully self-contained breathing apparatus.
During pump removal, draining or maintenance operator could be in
contact with process residues which could cause severe injury or death.
Ask your safety department for instructions according to the local
regulations.
We recommend to:
- To purge the pumping installation with dry nitrogen.
- Wear gloves, protective glasses and, if required for the used gases, a
breathing mask.
- Ventilate the premises well.
- Do not eliminate maintenance waste via standard disposal channels. Have
it destroyed by a qualified company if necessary.
- Install the inlet and exhaust blanking plates, thus accessories are
delivered with the pump.
