    2.1.3 Lubricating Fluid Ebara dry pumps use only perfluorinated polyether (PFPE) fluid to lubricate the pump's bearings and gears. This fluid is non-flammable and inert. This is the lubricating fluid referred to throughout the manual.
  • Page 13: Pump Overhaul

    EBARA Multi-Stage Dry Vacuum Pumps Overview CAUTION It is very important that the lubricating fluid is maintained at the proper level. Failure to do so could result in severe damage to the pump. CAUTION When changing or replenishing lubricating fluid, be sure to stop the pump and allow the pump to return to atmospheric pressure.
  • Page 14 EBARA Multi-Stage Dry Vacuum Pumps Overview Depending on the process, a complete pump overhaul is recommended every 1-2 years as a means of ensuring trouble-free performance. During overhaul service, all bearings, labyrinth seal rings, and O-rings are replaced; coolers are cleaned or exchanged, and the pump internals area cleaned, wet bead finished and vacuum baked.
