2. Safety
The overpressure/vacuum pump must
only
be used as a source for
generating negative pressure
– any other used is prohibited. In case of
improper or incorrect use which does not correspond with the instruc-
tions for use, the manufacturer cannot be made liable for any damage.
2.1
Intended use
Find out how you stop the overpressure/vacuum pump and how you use
all the controllers.
Make absolutely sure that all parts have been re-installed correctly after
maintenance work.
Keep children and animals away from the operating area.
If you use the overpressure/vacuum pump for an extended period and
remain close to it in the process, it is advisable to use ear plugs.
2.2
Responsibility of the user
Do not touch the head, the cylinders, the cooling fins or the supply line.
During operation they can reach very high temperatures and may remain
hot for a certain amount of time even after switching off the device.
Do not place any combustible materials near to and/or on the overpres-
sure/vacuum pump.
Do not use the overpressure/vacuum pump if the mains cable is faulty or
if the power connection is not established correctly.
Do not allow anyone to use the overpressure/vacuum pump without hav-
ing received suitable training on use beforehand.
Do not strike the flywheel or the fans with blunt or metal objects. This
may cause them to break during operation.
Do not put the overpressure/vacuum pump into operation without the
condensate trap and liquids barrier.
When using the overpressure/vacuum pump, make sure that no inad-
missible pressure/vacuum is produced which might damage the tank/
pipe or their interstitial spaces.
The device must not be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Potentially explosive vapour and air mixtures MUST NOT UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be suctioned.
Do not use the overpressure/vacuum pump at temperatures lower than
0 °C. (Temperature range: +5 °C to +45 °C).
2.3
Motor protection
The overpressure/vacuum pump is equipped with a motor circuit breaker
which breaks the power supply automatically in case of an overload. In
this case, switch off the power supply and wait for a few minutes before
you reset the motor protection switch (fig. 2) and re-start the device. If
the circuit breaker triggers again, disconnect the power supply and con-
tact an authorised customer service agent.
