5.1 Setting up vacuum pump
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
Danger of burns on hot surfaces
Depending on the operating and ambient conditions, the surface temperature of the vacuum pump
can increase to above 70 °C. If access to the vacuum pump is unrestricted, there is a danger of burns
due to contact with hot surfaces.
► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is accessible to untrained persons.
► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work.
► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions.
NOTICE
Property damage from external vibrations
Vibrations, impacts or strong oscillations originating externally can damage the bearings of the vac-
uum pump.
► Do not store the vacuum pump in the vicinity of machines, traffic routes, or similar.

Procedure
● When selecting the installation location, observe the requirement for touch protection to prevent
burns.
─ Closed housing: no touch protection required
─ Access for trained individuals only: no touch protection required
─ Unrestricted access for untrained individuals: Touch protection required
● Pfeiffer Vacuum supports you in implementing the touch protection.
1. Place the vacuum pump on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Observe the permissible angle of inclination.
3. The vacuum pump can be secured with stationary installation on the base as required.
