Safety information!
Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the
protective covers from the inlet and outlet ports and keep, inspect the equipment.
If the equipment is damaged, notify the supplier and the carrier in writing within three
days; state the item number of the product together with the order number and the
supplier’s invoice number. Retain all packing material for inspection.
Do not use the equipment if it is damaged.
If the equipment is not used immediately, replace the protective covers. Store the
equipment in suitable conditions.
☞
Read and comply with this manual before installing or operating the equip-
ment.
☞
Transport the pump at the provided handles.
Use the equipment
for the intended use only
(for generation of vacuum).
☞
Prevent any part of the human body from coming in contact with the vacuum.
☞
Comply with notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section ”Use
and operation”.
☞
Make sure that the individual components are only connected, combined and oper-
ated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for use.
Comply with
national safety regulations and safety requirements
concerning the
use of vacuum and electrical equipment.
☞
Equipment must be connected only to a
suitable fused and protected electrical
supply
and a suitable earth point. Failure to connect the motor to ground may result
in deadly electrical shock.
☞
The supply cable may be fitted with a moulded European IEC plug or a plug suitable
for your local electrical supply. If the plug has been removed or has to be removed,
the cable will contain wires colour coded as follows: green or green and yellow:
earth; blue or white: neutral; brown or black: live.
☞
Check that mains voltage and current conform with the equipment (see rating
plate):
Pumps with
dual-voltage motor (100-120 V / 200-230 V; 50/60 Hz):
☞
The equipment must be connected to a
suitable fused and protected electrical
supply
and a suitable earth point only, provide slow-blow fuse according to voltage
supply (see ”Technical data”).
☞
Check that the voltage changeover switch is positioned correctly.
Attention: If the pump is switched on with the voltage not correctly selected,
the motor may be damaged!
☞
If the equipment is brought from cold environment into a room for operation, allow
the equipment to warm up (pay attention to
water condensation on
cold surfaces).
☞
Make sure ventilation is adequate if pump is installed in a housing or if ambient
temperature is elevated.
Comply with all
relevant safety requirements
(regulations and guidelines) and adopt
suitable safety measures.
☞
Provide a firm level platform for the equipment and check that the system to be
evacuated is mechanically stable and that all fittings are secure.
Attention:
Flexible elements tend to shrink when evacuated.
Due to the high compression ratio of the pumps, pressure at the outlet port might be
generated being higher than the max. permitted pressure compatible with the mechani-
cal stability of the system.
