• Do not operate the pump with oxygen-enriched
gas (greater than 21% by volume) in the suction
line, unless the pump has been prepared with
an inert fluid suitable for the application and
equipped with seal and start/stop purge system.
WARNING !
Pumping oxygen-enriched gases with mineral
oil or other non-inert fluids and without
proper purges can cause fire or explosion
in the pump, resulting in damage or serious
bodily injury.
• Take precautions to avoid prolonged or
excessive exposure to oil mist or process
materials emanating from the discharge of the
pump.
• Do not allow the pump to discharge into a
closed or inadequately ventilated room. Where
process vapor contains environmentally
unfriendly chemical vapor, pump discharge must
be connected to the properly sized scrubber
system to neutralize the harmful chemicals
prior to the discharge to the atmosphere. Laws
and ordinances may pertain to your local area
regarding discharge of oil mist, oil vapor, or
chemical vapor to atmosphere. Check local laws
and ordinances before operating the pump with
discharge to outside atmosphere.
• Do not restrict the pump discharge in any way or
place valves in the discharge line. The vacuum
pump is a compressor and will generate high
pressures without stalling the motor when
operated at low suction pressures. Excessive
pressure could cause damage or serious bodily
injury.
• Disconnect the pump motor from the electrical
supply at the main disconnect before
disassembling or servicing the pump. Make
sure that the pump is completely reassembled,
the guards are properly installed, and all fill and
drain valves are installed and closed before
reconnecting the power supply. Accidental start-
up or operation of the pump while maintenance
is in progress could cause damage or serious
bodily injury.
• Lift the pump only by the lifting lugs supplied
with the pump. Never lift equipment attached to
the pump by the pump lifting lugs.
• Do not touch hot surfaces on the pump. In
normal operation at low pressures, surface
temperatures will not normally exceed 180°F
(82°C). Prolonged operation at 200 Torr (267
mbar) may cause surface temperatures as high
as 220°F (104°C).
