  • Page 33 A35104880_B - Installation ▪ Install the pump on a solid, level surface, suitable for taking its weight. Respect the minimal distance between the pump and the walls (Refer to Dimension drawings on page 22). ▪ Correct process lines sizes must be used to prevent restrictions and resulting pressure drops.
  • Page 34: Electrical Connections

    A35104880_B - Installation ▪ When pumping condensible vapours and particulates, more frequent fluid changes are required to maintain pump life. Contact us about types and styles of filtration units. ▪ Make sure there is no backpressure in the exhaust line of the vacuum pump. Vacuum pumps are not specifically designed to compress exhaust gas above atmospheric pressure.
  • Page 35: Pictographs

    A35104880_B - Installation ▪ For pumps with a single-phase motor, the pump should be connected to a standard wall socket, a 16 A rated protection is necessary (fuse or breaker). The motor has a "Klixon" overload protection element which looks like a red push button that must be manually reset after an overload trip.
