page 4 of 36 Safety information! General information ☞ Read and comply with this manual before installing or operating the equipment. NOTICE ☞ Transport the pump at the provided handle. Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the protective covers from the inlet and outlet ports and keep, inspect the equipment.
page 5 of 36 • Check that mains voltage and current conform with the equipment (see rating plate). • Change the setting of the voltage changeover switch (pump with dual-voltage motor) only if the pump is separated from mains. Check that the voltage changeo- ver switch is set correctly.
page 6 of 36 - self inflammable substances, substances which are inflammable without air and explosive substances. • The pumps are not suitable for pumping substances which may form deposits inside the pump. Deposits and condensate in the pump may lead to increased temperatures even to the point of excessing the maximum permitted tempera- tures! •...
page 7 of 36 Prevent the backpressure of gases and the backflow of condensates. Never suck liquids or dust into the pump. Provide appropriate protective measures (i.e precautions which allow for the require- ments of the respective application) even for the case of failure and malfunction. Failure of the pump (e.g.
page 8 of 36 • Before starting maintenance vent the pump, isolate the pump and other compo- nents from the vacuum system. Allow sufficient cooling of the pump. Drain con- densate, if applicable. Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably trained and supervised techni- cians.

page 17 of 36 Use and operation Installing in a vacuum system • Connection lines at the pump inlet have to be gas tight. Particles and dust must not be aspirated, the user has to provide appropriate filters if necessary. The user must ensure their suitability concerning gas flow, chemical resistance and safe- ness against clogging prior to use.
page 18 of 36 Use of a suitable valve to isolate the pump from the vacuum system is recommended to allow the pump to warm up before pumping condensable vapours or to clean the pump before it is switched off. When assembling, ensure vacuum-tightness.
page 19 of 36 Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust. The diaphragm and valves will be damaged, if liquids are pumped in significant amounts. Check the pump regularly for external soiling and deposits, clean if necessary to avoid an increase of the pump‘s operating temperature. In case of excess temperature, the motor is shut down by a thermal cutout in the winding.
