Serious damage may occur to the motor if it is connected to an improper voltage. All Welch pumps must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of an electrical short circuit. The plug must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Consult your local electrical codes if you have doubts.
All other wetted parts are stainless steel. If there is a chance liquid may be drawn from the process under evacuation, Welch recommends a liquid trap be placed between the process and the pump. A simple liquid trap is a fi ltering fl ask.

Review the power requirements as described in Section 2.60. Welch recommends running the pump for a few minutes to warm it up, before use. The warm-up improves the pumps ability to handle humid air.
5.10 VACUUM PROBLEMS Welch dry vacuum pumps are 100% oil-free. The pump employs a non-lube piston and cylinder. Leakage, contamination and unusual outgassing are the general causes of problems with poor vacuum. To operate at maximum effi ciency a system must be thoroughly clean. If the system is completely clean and free from leaks, and unwarranted vacuum problems still exist, the pump should be checked.
The liability of Welch-Ilmvac Inc. under this warranty is limited to servicing, adjusting, repairing or replacing any unit or component part which in the judgment of Welch- Ilmvac Inc. has not been misused, abused or altered in any way causing impaired performance or rendering it inoperative.
