cian. Obey local and national safety requirements. Ensure that the technician is fa-
miliar with the safety procedures which relate to the products processed by the pumping
system. Ensure that the pump is decontaminated before repair and that you take
adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of hazardous substances if
contamination has occurred.
Read the instructions for use for the equipment carefully, especially sections "Safety
informations" and "Use and operation". If necessary order "Instructions for use" from
VACUUBRAND.
Wear parts have to be replaced regularly. In case of normal wear the lifetime of the
diaphragms and valves is > 10000 operating hours. Bearings have a typical durability of
40000 h. Motor capacitors have a typical durability in the range of 10000 to 40000 h
depending strongly on the operation conditions like ambient temperature, humidity or
load.

In order to comply with law (occupational, health and safety regulations, safety at work
law and regulations for environmental protection) vacuum pumps, components and
measuring instruments returned to the manufacturer can be repaired only when cer-
tain procedures (see section "Notes on return to the factory") are followed.

Check every capacitor regularly by measuring its capacity and estimating its op-
eration time. Exchange old capacitors early enough to prevent a failure. If an
overaged motor capacitor fails it might get hot and even melt and may cause a
flame to form which could be dangerous for persons and equipment in the
vicinity. The capacitors have to be replaced by an electrician.
The device will be contaminated with the process chemicals which have been

Take adequate precautions to protect people from the effects of dangerous sub-
stances. Wear appropriate safety-clothing, do not inhale and avoid contact with
skin.
Check the operating sequence mentally using exploded view drawings, spare
parts lists and circuit diagram on feasibility, safety requirements and consequences
on safety and function of the equipment.
Isolate equipment from mains and wait two minutes before starting mainte-
nance to allow the capacitors to discharge.
Vent the pump, isolate the pump and other components from the vacuum system.
Allow sufficient cooling of the pump. Drain condensate, if applicable.
