Storage | 4 Storage • Seal all apertures with adhesive tape or reuse provided caps. Version with water-oil heat exchanger: • Make sure that the cooling water has been completely removed, see Decommis- sioning [► 31]. If the machine is to be stored for more than 3 months: •...
Water Connection (Optional) [► 14]. If the machine is installed at an altitude greater than 1000 meters above sea level: • Contact your Busch representative, the motor should be derated or the ambient temperature limited. Make sure that the monitoring devices are correctly connected and integrated into a control system such that operation of the machine will be inhibited if the safety limit val- ues are exceeded, see Electrical Connection of the Monitoring Devices [► 19].
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply. If the machine is used as part of a vacuum system: • Busch recommends the installation of an isolation valve in order to prevent the oil from flowing back to the vacuum system.
