2.1 Mechanical hazards
WARNING: BLOCKED EXHAUST
Risk of injury or damage to the equipment. If exhaust gases are collected or
contained, the exhaust line may get pressurised. Make sure that the gas flow from
the exhaust port is not blocked or restricted in any way.
The pressure in the oil box must not exceed 0.5 bar(g). An exhaust line too small in
diameter or which is blocked can result in overpressure within the pump. The pump
may get damaged or burst if the pump is opened. So the exhaust line must be
checked from time to time to make sure that there are no obstructions.
Design the exhaust line so that the pressure does not reach above 1.15 bar absolute
(0.15 bar relative). The pressure regulation device must be installed by the end-user.
We recommend to treat the gases from the pump exhaust in function of their nature.
▪
Do not expose any part of the human body to the vacuum as this can
cause injury.
▪
Do not step on the pump.
▪
Do not operate the pump without connecting the intake line or without
fitting a blank flange.
▪
Do not open vacuum connections, oil filling plug and oil draining valve
during operation of the pump as there is a risk of serious injury.
▪
The location at which the pump (including its accessories) is being
operated must not have an angle more than 10 degrees from the
vertical. Check that the inclination of the pump is less than 10 degrees
from the vertical. Select the operating place so that all controls are
easily accessible.
▪
Move the pump filled with oil only in its vertical position. Spilt oil
involves the risk of falling.
▪
Take adequate safety precautions before you open the intake or
exhaust port.
▪
Do not connect the intake line of the pump to a device with over
atmospheric pressure.
▪
Operating the pump without oil or operating with incorrect direction of
rotation can damage the pump.
▪
Do not use discarded seals. Always assemble using new seals.
▪
Follow the instructions concerning environmental protection to discard
used oil.
▪
Touch the inner sections of the pumps only while wearing clean gloves
and use clean tools, do the necessary work in clean and dry rooms.
▪
Do not allow the ingestion of any objects for example-screws, welding
beads, nuts, washers, pieces of wire, fittings etc. through the intake
port of the pump. Objects falling into the pump can cause severe
damage.
▪
To move the pump always use suitable transport means.
