Oil change procedure
>
We recommend a temperature of the vacuum pump in the
range from 12 to 40 °C (54 to 104 °F) for the oil change pro ‑
cedure. The viscosity of a cold pump's oil is increased making
the oil change more difficult.
1. 1. Switch off the pump and unplug the power plug from the
socket. Ensure that the pump cannot be operated accidental‑
ly if parts of the pump are disassembled.
2. 2. Disconnect the vacuum pump from the apparatus.
3. 3. Ventilate the pump.
4. 4. Allow the pump to cool down, if necessary.
