expansion chamber, in the oil reservoir, or at the out‑
let of the pump.

Pumping different substances or media can cause the substances
to react with one another.
>
Be aware of interactions and possible chemical reactions of
the pumped media.
>
Purge the vacuum pump with ambient air or inert gas before
changing the medium to be pumped. Thereby you will pump
residues out of the vacuum pump and reduce the possibili‑
ty of reactions of the pumped substances with each other and
