3.00 OPERATION
3.01 Installation
The pump must be installed on a level horizontal surface. It should also be installed in a n easily accessible
area for occasional maintenance or filter replacement. Insure that the area has sufficient air flow for the air
cooling circulation of the pump: this is very important to prevent the pump from overheating. Proper inlet
connections should be used to prevent leaks. Leaks will reduce the performance of the pump. Never restrict
the pump exhaust.
3.02 Electrical connections
Connect the motor’s cable to the winding box being careful to protect the motor with a suitable safety device
calibrating to the nominal current shown on the motor lab (pumps are not equipped with an own electric
switch as they are usually installed on a centralized plant)
G.E.V. vacuum pumps are supplied without electric cable. G.E.V. recommends to get this cable assembledby
a skilled technician as no liability for consequent misfunction can be taken
