Usage Guidelines
■
Always use the Millex
®
-FG
50
vent filter and silicone tubing included
with the pump when applying vacuum. This will prevent liquids or
vapors from entering the Millivac Maxi Pump. A properly attached
Millex-FG
50
vent filter is illustrated in Figure 1.
■
For maximum protection of the pump, use a Millex-FG
50
vent filter
AND a vacuum trap to protect the pump from vapors and gases.
The vacuum trap consists of a 1 liter filtering flask (Millipore cat.
no. XX10 047 05), No. 8 stopper (XX10 047 08) and silicone tubing.
Additional tubing is available as Millipore cat. no. XX80 000 24.
This assembly is illustrated in Figure 2.
■
Never pump or draw liquids through the pump. This will damage
the pump. The filter flask and vacuum trap should be emptied after
each use.
