Maintenance intervals
7.4 Change the operating fluid
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.
CAUTION
Scalding from hot operating fluid
Danger of burns when draining operating fluid if it comes into contact with the skin.
► Wear protective equipment.
► Use a suitable collection receptacle.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the precise service life of the operating
fluid in the first operating year.
The service life may deviate from the reference value specified depending on thermic and
chemical loads, and the accumulation of suspended particles and condensate in the oper-
ating fluid.
