Filling the seal chamber of the evacuation pump
Before initial commissioning, the seal chamber of the evacuation
pump must be filled with the sealing medium ISO VG 10 ... ISO
VG 100.
For topping off, use the medium to be purified having a viscosity
of ISO VG 10 … VG 100.
This is needed in order to prevent dry running of the shaft seals.
Dry running of the pump would result in premature wear and tear
and impermissible heating at the sealing lip or dust lip.
This also prevents the ingress of air into the fluid.
Check the fill level of the reservoir (1) at least once a week and
top off as needed.
