IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock, and the injury to persons,
read and understand all instructions included in this manual.
Be familiar with the controls and the proper usage of the equipment
Solid particles in the pumping medium impair the pumping action and can lead to damage.
Prevent solid particles penetrating into the pump!
CAUTION !
CAUTION !
•
Warning notices must be observed. Disregarding them may lead to damage
to health and property.
•
The Rotary vane pumps must be operated by personnel who can detect impending
dangers and take action to prevent them from materializing.
•
The Rotary vane pumps is intended for indoor use only.
•
The manufacturer or authorized workshops will only service or maintain the rotary
vane pump if it is accompanied by a fully completed damage report.
Precise information about the contamination (also negative information if necessary)
and thorough cleaning of the rotary vane pump are legally binding parts of the contract.
•
Contaminated Rotary vane pumps and their individual parts must be disposed of
in accordance with the legal regulations. The local regulations apply in foreign countries.
Please note the following when connecting to the electrical power supply system:
•
The electrical power supply system must have a protective connector according to IEC 60364-4-41.
•
The protective connector should not have any breaks.
•
The connecting cable should not be damaged.
Improper use can lead to injuries or material damage. Observe the following instructions:
•
Only operate the Rotary vane pumps with the specified flange-mounting components.
•
Hazardous substances must be separated out as far as this is technically possible before
they reach the pump.
•
External mechanical stresses and vibrations must not be transmitted to the pump.
Only use flexible vacuum hoses for connecting Rotary vane pumps.
•
The pump should not be used to suck up fluids. Lay the exhaust pipe so that it slopes downwards,
so allowing condensate to flow out of the pump. Collect the condensate and dispose of it in an
environmentally compatible manner.
•
Maintain a space of least 20 mm between the pump and adjacent parts in order to enable
the pump to cool.
