Section I - General Information
14. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that
they function properly. They may not be put out of action.
15. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that
operating pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that
all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that they function correctly. If
removed, check that the coupling guard of the vacuum pump drive shaft has been
reinstalled.
16. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and
the inside of the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits
should be removed.
17. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent
moisture from entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
18. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping
material on the bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the vacuum
pump, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the
manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
19. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g.
polycarbonate bowls.
20. Faults or wearing of seals may cause oil lubricant leaks. Avoid dispersion in soil and
pollution of other materials.
NOTICE!
