  • Page 28: Connecting The Intake And Exhaust Lines

    When choosing and installing the vacuum pumps for harsh processes or for processes of special applications, like harsh furnace process, toxic or explo- sive gas process, please check in advance with the engineers of Leybold; when necessary, we suggest installing a trap at the pump inlet or outlet port to prevent any safety accidents.
  • Page 29 In order to prevent deposits in the exhaust lines it may be necessary to heat the exhaust lines. Run the exhaust line only by way of a fixed installation to the outside and/or connected to a silencer. 300407956_002_C1 - 01/2017 - © Leybold...
  • Page 30: Connecting Cooling Water

    If there is the danger of frost, you may use a water glycol mixture of up to 30 %. When using DS water/deionised water (softened or fully desalinated water) check whether cooling system, water and materials used are suitable. For this please con- sult us. 300407956_002_C1 - 01/2017 - © Leybold...

  • Page 50 Unscrew the drain plug. Tools and bucket must be clean so as not to further contaminate the lubricant. Screw the drain plug with the sealing ring back in, wipe off any dripped lubri- cant from the casing. 300407956_002_C1 - 01/2017 - © Leybold...
  • Page 51: Maintenance

    In clean processes, you may increase the maintenance intervals; in harsh processes, you may have to decrease them. We recommend a service contract with Leybold. We recommend to inspect the pump system and all components after approximately 6 months under the process conditions. The inspection of the components shall let corrosion attacks become apparent at an early stage and indicate possible deposits of process dust.
