Transport and Storage
Roots pumps are heavy machines made of cast iron and thus should only be
lifted using suitable lifting equipment tied to the eyes provided for this pur-
pose, see Fig. 2.1.
When the pump is removed from the shipping container it has to be secured
with suitable lifting equipment until it is safely bolted on either a vacuum
flange or a rack that is stable enough to support the weight of the pump. If
bolted to a forevacuum pump or a rack, sufficient tilt resistance has to be
ensured.
When connecting or removing the pump, do not step under hoisted loads.
Notice safety information 0.1.
Before transporting the pump always drain out the oil (see Section 5.2).
Screw the oil-drain plug with its gasket back in and wipe any oil droplets
off from the casing. It will not be required to drain out the oil from the shaft
seal housing (oiler).
The pump should be transported and stored in a horizontal position (5°
max. tilt). Otherwise the oil from the shaft seal housing (oiler) may drain.
In addition, there is the danger that oil from the side chambers may enter
the pump chamber, even before the pump is filled with oil for the first time.
When storing the pump for a longer period of time (> 2 weeks) the flanges
should be sealed off with a piece of foil. Place a bag with desiccant in the
pump chamber, if required. Before operating the pump once more do not for-
get to remove this bag first.
Temperature -20 °C to +60 °C
Storage site dry
Maximum atmospheric humidity 95 %, non-condensing
The area of the motor (fan and slits at the flange of the motor) must be pro-
tected against dust and dripping water.
