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.
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.
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.
A35104880_B - Operation 5. Operation 5.1 Initial start-up WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Risk of injury or damage to equipment. The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions. Refer to Safety precautions during operation on page 12 Safety precautions during operation on page 9. Note: The pump is supplied filled with oil.
A35104880_B - Operation 5.2 Start the pump CAUTION: EXCESSIVE ENERGY CONSUMPTION Risk of damage to equipment. To avoid excessive energy consumption and damage to the vacuum pump the maximum allowed starting frequency is 6 starts per hour. For more frequent operation, let the pump operate continuously and control the vacuum demand by a pitot valve on the pump inlet.
A35104880_B - Operation 5.5 Taking out of operation Note: The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions. Refer to Safety precautions during operation on page 12 Safety precautions during operation on page 9 and Fault finding on page 39 Fault finding on page 43.
A35104880_B - Maintenance 6. Maintenance 6.1 Preventive maintenance schedule WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Risk of injury or damage to equipment. The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions. Refer to Safety precautions during maintenance or repair on page 10. Before the maintenance, repair or adjustments, do the steps as follow: ▪...
Always drain the pump well. Used oil left in the pump shortens the lifetime of the new oil. nES series pumps are delivered with mineral oil, Ultragrade Performance 70, or with synthetic oil, Ultragrade Extend 110. Check the pump nameplate.
A35104880_B - Maintenance 6.3 Service kits For overhauling and for preventive maintenance, a wide range of service kits is available. Service kits comprise all parts required for servicing the component and offer the benefits of our genuine parts while keeping the maintenance budget low. Also, a full range of extensively tested lubricants, suitable for your specific needs is available to keep the vacuum pump in excellent condition.
A35104880_B - Adjustments and servicing procedures 7. Adjustments and servicing procedures 7.1 Drive motor On nES100 - nES750 (nES40 - nES65 do not have motor bearings) the motor bearings must be changed every 20,000 hours. Check recommendations on the motor's website. If installed, remove the motor condensate drain plug yearly.

A35104880_B - Adjustments and servicing procedures nES630, nES750 Tools required: Tubular box wrench 16 mm. When the exhaust filter elements are clogged, the integrated bypass opens and the filters are bypassed. Oil mist at the exhaust and high oil consumption are signs that the exhaust filters are clogged.
A35104880_B - Adjustments and servicing procedures 7.3 Oil and oil filter change WARNING: OIL CONTAMINATION Risk of damage to equipment. Always apply all relevant safety precautions. Refer to Safety precautions during maintenance or repair on page 10. Always drain the oil at all drain points. Used oil left in the pump can contaminate the oil system and can shorten the lifetime of the new oil.
A35104880_B - Adjustments and servicing procedures 7.4 Cleaning radiator, motor fan guard and pump The radiator, motor fan guard and pump must be kept clean. This can be done using compressed air and a dry cloth. Be careful not to damage the oil cooler (if applicable) by cleaning with compressed air or by exerting excessive pressure with the cloth.
A35104880_B - Adjustments and servicing procedures ▪ Install the tension meter as shown in picture 1, in the middle, halfway between the V‑belt contacts point of the V‑belts and the two pulleys. ▪ Push the Newton scale's black rubber down to reach a 10 mm bending of the V‑belt as shown in pictures 2 and 4.

A35104880_B - Storage 9. Storage To keep rubber parts and lip seals efficient and working properly, we recommend the pump is operated for at least 30 minutes every 6 months with the inlet closed. Store the pump in its packing in a covered, dry place at a temperature between -20 °C (-4 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F).
A35104880_B - Disposal 10. Disposal Used filters or any other used material (for example, lubricants, cleaning rags and machine parts) must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe manner, and in line with the local recommendations and environmental legislation. 10.1 Recycle the pump The contaminated parts can be dangerous for your health and environment.
