Assess safety precautions properly. To assess potential hazards after operation for our VACUUBRAND service, it is mandatory to have received your completed Health and Safety Clearance Form. In case of service by VACUUBRAND: > > Fill in the Health and Safety Clearance Form thoroughly and completely and send it to VACUUBRAND.
Decommissioning 4. Ensure that connected lines are vented to ambient pressure before disconnecting the connections from the application. Flushing with the cleaning set Cleaning set function Use the controlled supply of flushing gas (e. g., inert gas) in order to boost the emission of previously pumped substances and condensate out of the vacuum pumping unit. Damaging substances are flushed out and dangerous deposits cannot be formed inside the vacuum pumps.
Page 45
Decommissioning 8. Clean the vacuum pumping unit in case of contamination. 9. Recommendation: Perform a preventive maintainance before storing the vacuum pumps. Especially if the runtime exceeds 15,000 operat‑ ing hours. 10. Close the suction and exhaust tubes, e.g., with protection caps. 11.
