Warning:
carried in the nitrogen exhaust, ensure that the nitrogen exhaust
is vented via the nitrogen exhaust trap bottle and laboratory
exhaust system. The laboratory exhaust system must provide a
minimum vacuum of 0.20 kPa (2 mbar, 0.03 psi) below
atmospheric pressure (negative pressure).
Warning:
toxic compounds, and to avoid spreading contamination to
uncontaminated surfaces, wear clean, chemical-resistant,
powder-free gloves when working with the exhaust connections.
Warning:

Caution:
separate exhaust systems are required: one for nitrogen, the other
for the roughing pump. Vent the exhausts to atmosphere through
separate exhaust lines. Oil mist can seriously damage the
instrument if the nitrogen exhaust line connects with the roughing
pump exhaust line. Your warranty does not cover damage caused
by routing exhaust lines incorrectly.
