Establishing an exhaust
As this pump is shipped with the correct amount of pump oil inside, ensure that it is
transported with the exhaust sealed with an oil cap. Remove this oil cap before
starting the pump, and fit either a standard exhaust port or an oil mist trap. (Refer to
Fig. 3.)
Fig. 3 Establishing an exhaust
An oil mist trap is effective when the pump is operated under conditions with a large
amount of oil mist (when used for a long time under high pressures).
The pump is not pressure-resistant, and has an internal pressure limit of 0.03 MPa
(gauge pressure). If the pump is operated while the exhaust is blocked or when a
device that inhibits the passage of gas at the exhaust side is fitted, the pressure
inside the pump rises, and oil may spray from the oil level gauge, the cover may be
broken, and the motor may be overloaded.
