0.4 Hazards Caused by Materials and Substances
1
Never pump toxic, explosive, flammable, corrosive gases, chemicals,
solvents or powders. Flowing substances, explosion or fire can cause
bodily injury.
2
Install the pump in an area without explosive or flammable substances.
Otherwise, it can cause explosion or fire.
0.5 Danger of Damages to the Pump
1
Ask a specialist to perform repairs. Otherwise there exists the risk that
the pump may fail, is damaged or its service life is severely reduced.
Trained customers may perform maintenance themselves.
2
Use at ambient temperatures of 5 - 40 °C (during operation). Operating
outside of this range can cause damage or shorten service life.
Always operate the pump with the fan and terminal covers in place.
Always operate the single-phase pumps with the capacitor cover in
place.
3
Conduct periodic maintenance and inspections. Failure to do so can
cause damage or reduced service life.
4
Be sure to close the isolation valve between pump and vacuum sys-
tem (chamber) during startup and shutdown. If this valve is open,
debris attached to the inside of pump can be drawn back into the vac-
uum chamber.
