Operating Instructions and follow the information so as to ensure optimum and safe working right from the start The Leybold RUVAC WH has been designed for safe and efficient operation when used properly and in accordance with these Operating Instructions. It is...
The lifting eyes of the RUVAC must never be used to lift any pump combinations (Roots pump + backing pump). Exceptions are allowed only after approval by Leybold. Use a crane to secure the pump at the lifting eyes provided until a firm link has been established with the backing pump or a corresponding fixture.
The pumps must only be operated at the allowed speeds. In particular when using frequency converters not approved by Leybold you must ensure an effective protection against overspeeding.
Since not all application related hazards for vacuum systems can be described in detail in these Operating Instructions, Leybold has availa- ble a separate document (Safety Booklet) in which the hazards and general safety concepts for design, operation and maintenance of vac- uum systems are explained.

For this see Section 5.5 Service at Leybold. Leybold is not in a position to perform servicing (repairs) and waste disposal of radioactively contaminated pumps. Both needs to be ensured from the side of the user.
The pump is not suited for applications that produce abrasive or adhe- sive substances or condensable vapours which leave adhesive or high viscosity deposits. Please contact Leybold in order to select proper separators, for example. Do not allow the ingestion of any objects (screws, welding beads, nuts, washers, pieces of wire, etc.) through the intake port of the...
Fig. 1.2 RUVAC WH 700, Part No. 167186V Lubricants The RUVAC WH 700 pumps are prepared for use with synthetic oil or for use with PFPE special lubricant (perfluoropolyether). Only the pumps with PFPE lubricant may be used to pump highly aggressive and hazardous gases.

3) Higher pressure differences are possible. Please contact Leybold 4) Gas temperatures over 40 °C can result in a reduction of the pressure difference values; please consult Leybold on this 5) The optional frequency converter automatically reduces the rotational speed of the rotors so as to compensate for overloads.

The RUVAC WH 700 must be integrated in the system control arrangement so that the pump can not run-up automatically after it has been shut down by the temperature switches in the motor. This applies equally to emergency shut-down arrangements.
Advanced repair work not described here should be left to the Leybold Service. We would like to point out that Leybold offers training cour-ses on the main- tenance, repair, and troubleshooting of RUVAC pumps. Further details are available on request.
Maintenance Service at Leybold If you send a pump to Leybold indicate whether the pump is free of sub- stances damaging to health or whether it is contaminated. If it is contaminated also indicate the nature of the hazard. To do so, you must use a pre-printed form which we shall send to you upon request.
Waste oil from vacuum pumps must not be mixed with other substances or materials. Waste oil from vacuum pumps (Leybold oils which are based on mineral oils) which are subject to normal wear and which are contaminated due to the influence of oxygen in the air, high temperatures or mechanical wear must be disposed of through the locally available waste oil disposal system.
