LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
ATTENTION : It is absolutely forbidden to package the following products in order to avoid damaging the
machine and risk accidents to the operator :
-
flammable or explosive materials and gas pressure bottles
-
loose powders and volatile products (flour, sugar, etc.)
If liquid products are frequently packaged the oil must checked frequently and replaced. In fact the vapors,
produced by the liquids under vacuum conditions, mix with the oil reducing its lubrificating characteristics.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Following are few of the common troubles that can be solved without calling the maintenance service.

Should it not be possible to solve the problem after having checked the above suggestions call the
maintenance service.
VACUUM PUMP MAINTENANCE
Check periodically the oil level indicator of the pump (on the rear of the equipment) : an oil level over the
allowed maximum could cause clogging of the filter.
An oil level too low could cause a poor vacuum level and damage the pump.
Every 200 pump operating hours or at least every 6 months it is advisable to change the oil.
The pumping of pollutant compounds may require more frequent oil changes.
If the oil appears dark, turgid or thick, the oil has lost its lub properties and needs to be changed
immediately.
