Reuse the transport container. Vacuum pumps should be transported or shipped
in the original packing only.
Only remove the protective covers from the high vacuum and the fore-vacuum
side immediately before connection.
Keep the original protective covers.
Always transport the turbopump in an upright position.
Close the flange openings by using the original protective covers.
Close further connection ports by using the corresponding protective covers.
Store the pump only indoors at temperatures between -25 °C and +55 °C.
In rooms with moist or aggressive atmospheres, the pump must be airproof
shrink-wrapped in a plastic bag together with a bag of desiccant.
