► Shut off the intake line with an additional shut-off valve, after the vacuum pump is switched off during longer venting operations. Pfeiffer Vacuum rotary vane pumps have an integral vacuum safety valve on the intake side. The vac- uum safety valve automatically closes from a differential pressure of ≥250 hPa between the exhaust and intake sides, when the vacuum pump is switched off, and vents the vacuum pump.
► Dismantle the vacuum pump for inspection, away from the system if necessary. NOTICE Danger of property damage from improper maintenance Unprofessional work on the vacuum pump will lead to damage for which Pfeiffer Vacuum accepts no liability. ► We recommend taking advantage of our service training offering.
