▪ Ensure the maintenance is done by a suitably trained and supervised technician.
Obey local and national safety requirements.
▪ Ensure the maintenance technician is familiar with the safety procedures which
relate to the products processed by the pumping system.
▪ Check that all the required parts are available and are of the correct type before
starting work.
▪ Isolate the pump and other components from the electrical supply to prevent
accidental operation.
▪ Allow the pump to cool for at least 3 hours before starting maintenance work.
6.2 Maintenance plan
More frequent maintenance may be required if the pump is used to pump aggressive
gases or vapours, such as solvents, organic substances and acids, or if the pump is
operated continuously at the higher end of its operating temperature.

6.3 Inspect and clean the inlet strainer
Whenever the pump is disconnected from the vacuum system, or on an annual basis, we
recommend:
▪ Removing the inlet strainer from the pump inlet (refer to Figure: nXDS scroll pump
on page 11 ) and remove any debris that may have accumulated.
▪ Inspecting the inlet strainer and if necessary, clean it with a cleaning solution
suitable for the substances pumped. Refit the inlet strainer before reconnecting
the pump to the vacuum system. Refer to Connect to the vacuum system on page
28 .
6.4 Clean the external fan cover
If the fan cover is not kept clean, the air flow over the pump can be restricted and the
pump may overheat.
