valve slightly hand-tight. Further tightening will not in-
crease sealing of the valve, and may lead to damage.
Note : Over-tightening or -loosening may damage the dia-
phragm or the valve seat, and the valve may not close
properly thereafter.
Replace diaphragm in case of leaks.

Gas ballast is a continuous purge to keep the pump’s in-
terior as clean as possible and to reduce the possibility of
condensation inside the pump.
Air and pumped media might react inside the pump or
at the outlet of the pump and form hazardous or explo-
sive mixtures, when you use air rather than inert gas
damage to equipment and/or facilities, a risk of per-
sonal injury or even loss of life.
Make sure that air/gas intake through the gas ballast
valve can never lead to hazardous, explosive or other-
wise dangerous mixtures. If in doubt, use inert gas.
To reduce condensation in the pump, do not pump vapor
before the pump has reached its operating temperature.
Open the gas ballast valve when pumping condensable
vapors. Turn gas ballast cap to open valve.
For condensable vapors (water vapor, sol-
vents, etc.):
- The gas ballast valve is open if the arrow on
the gas ballast cap is pointing towards the
labelling ”GB”.
- With gas ballast valve open, the ultimate
vacuum will be reduced.
