2. Important safety information
WARNING: EJECTION OF PARTS
If the mounting is not sturdy enough, a pump blockage could cause the pump to
break loose. Internal pump components could be thrown in all directions.
Attach the pump firmly to the vacuum chamber. Never operate the pump without
proper flanging to the vacuum chamber (in bench testing, for example). In case of
rotor destruction a sudden twisting of the entire pump is possible. The vacuum
chamber must be able to absorb the torque of max. 10 kNm around the rotor's axis of
rotation in the event of sudden rotor destruction.
CAUTION: CUTTING AND CRUSHING
When reaching into open flanges there is a risk of cutting and crushing your fingers.
Do not operate the vacuum pump with open flanges. Do not reach into the pump.
When installing the vacuum pump, first mechanically connect the inlets and outlets
and then make the electrical connections.
Disconnect the vacuum pump from the power supply before servicing the pump.
Only use trained service personnel.
Before servicing, ensure that gas cannot flow through the pump. Only open the pump
system when it is under atmospheric pressure.
CAUTION: BURNS
Touching hot surfaces may lead to burns.
Handle the pump only when ventilated and cooled down.
Wear suitable protective equipment.
