and by using the recommended oil types.

Maintenance
Disconnect the power before disassembling the pump. Make absolutely sure
that the pump cannot be accidentally started.
If the pump has pumped harmful substances, ascertain the nature of the hazard
and take adequate safety measures.
Observe all safety regulations.
Service at Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum's
If you send a pump to Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum indicate whether the pump
is free of substances damaging to health or whether it is contaminated. If it is
contaminated also indicate the nature of hazard. For this you must use the form
«Declaration of Contamination of Vacuum Instruments and Components», which
is reproduced at the end of the Operating Instructions.
Please attach this form to the pump, or enclose it with it. This Declaration is
required to meet the law and to protect our personnel.
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum will return any pump received without a «Declaration
of Contamination» to the sender’s address.
The pump must be packaged in such a way that it will not be damaged during
shipping, and so that no harmful substances can escape from the package.
If you open a pump at your own works also observe a potential contamination.
When disposing of used oil, please observe the relevant environmental
regulations. Due to the design concept, SOGEVAC pumps require very little
maintenance under normal operating conditions. The work required is
described in the sections below.
All work must be done by suitably trained personnel. Maintenance or repairs
carried out incorrectly will affect the life and performance of the pump and may
cause problems when filing warranty claims.
3.1 Maintenance Schedule
