Make evacuation for 30 minutes and check
whether the compound meter indicates -
0.1Mpa. If the meter does not indicate -
0.1Mpa after pumping 30 minutes, it should
be pumped 20 minutes more. If the pressure
can’t achieve -0.1Mpa after pumping 50
minutes, please check if there are some
leakage points.
Fully close the handle Lo valve of the manifold
valve and stop the operation of the vacuum
pump. Confirm that the gauge needle does not
move (approximately 5 minutes after turning off
