REFER TO MANUAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ROTARY PISTON PUMPS
Please read the following safety information on this page before operating your vacuum pump.
•
Do not operate the pump without the belt guard properly attached. Disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply at the
main disconnect before removing the belt guard. Replace the belt guard before reconnecting the power supply to the pump
motor. Operating the pump without the belt guard properly installed exposes personnel in the vicinity of the pump to risk from
rotating drive components.
•
Do not operate the pump with oxygen-enriched gas (greater than 21% by volume) in the suction line, unless the pump has
been prepared with an inert fluid suitable for the application and equipped with seal and start/stop purge system.
WARNING: Pumping oxygen-enriched gases with mineral oil or other non-inert fluids and without proper
purges can cause fire or explosion in the pump, resulting in damage or serious bodily injury.
•
Take precautions to avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to oil mist or process materials emanating from the discharge of
the pump.
•
Do not allow the pump to discharge into a closed, or inadequately ventilated room. Where process vapor contains environmentally
unfriendly chemical vapor, pump discharge must be connected to the properly sized scrubber system to neutralize the harmful
chemicals prior to the discharge to the atmosphere. Laws and ordinances may pertain to your local area regarding discharge
of oil mist, oil vapor, chemical vapor to atmosphere. Check local laws and ordinances prior to operation of the pump with
discharge to outside atmosphere.
•
Do not restrict the pump discharge in any way, or place valves in the discharge line. The vacuum pump is a compressor and will
generate high pressures without stalling the motor when operated at low suction pressures. Excessive pressure could cause
damage or serious bodily injury.
•
Disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply at the main disconnect before disassembling or servicing the pump.
Make sure pump is completely reassembled, the belt guard is properly installed, and that all fill and drain valves are installed
and closed before reconnecting the power supply. Accidental starting or operation of the pump while maintenance is in progress
could cause damage or serious bodily injury.
•
Lift pump only by the lifting lugs supplied with the pump. DO NOT lift equipment attached to pump by the pump lifting lugs.
•
Do not touch hot surfaces on the pump. In normal operation at low pressures, surface temperatures will not normally exceed
180° F (82° C). Prolonged operation at 200 Torr (267 mbar a) may cause surface temperatures as high as 220° F (104° C)
