7. The external force extended on the in- and outlet connection is limited to 10 kg; the
connection pipes must be free of strain. No supports may be fixed to the canopy of
the machine.
8. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating:
DANGER: This machine is remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and that isolating switch
is open and locked before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons
switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure
that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice
shall be affixed to the starting equipment.
9. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of
cooling air is available and that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the
vacuum pump air inlet or cooling air inlet.
10. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines
must be earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A
lockable power isolating switch must be installed near the vacuum pump.
11. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function
after voltage failure is activated, a sign stating “This machine may start without
warning” must be affixed near the instrument panel.
12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the
machine.
13. Piping or other parts with a temperature that exceeds 70°C (158°F) and which may
be accidentally touched by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or
insulated. Other high temperature piping must be clearly marked.
14. If the ground is not leveled or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the
manufacturer.
15. Pump outlet air contains traces of oil mist. Ensure compatibility with the working
environment.
16. Any vacuum pump placed in an application with inlet gas stream temperatures
above the published maximum temperature should be approved by Quincy prior
to start-up.
