● Fill the gear and bearing chambers with lubricant only once the final installation posi- tion is reached. Preparations for transport Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov- General information regarding safe transport 1. Observe weight specified on the rating plate.
Neither the suction chamber nor the pistons in the roots pump in the roots pump interior are provided with corrosion protection. Storage Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging. Procedure 1. Vacuum-seal both connection flanges. 2. Store the roots pump only in dry, dust-free rooms, within the specified ambient conditions.
Attainment of product-specific performance data is not ensured. If non-approved lubricants are used, all liability and warranty claims against Pfeiffer Vacuum are excluded. ► Use only lubricants approved by Pfeiffer Vacuum. ► Use alternative, application-specific lubricants only following consultation with Pfeiffer Vacuum.

Installation Fig. 5: Filling sealing oil for radial shaft seal rings 1 Oiler Procedure 1. Open the filler flap on the oiler. 2. Fill the oiler with lubricant to max. halfway. 3. Close the filler flap. 4. Always make sure that the lubricator is screwed tightly to the vacuum pump. 5.4 Connecting vacuum side WARNING Risk of crushing from rotating parts...
Installation 5.5 Connecting the fore-vacuum side WARNING Risk of crushing from rotating parts Fingers and hands may be caught by rotating pistons within the connection flange. This results in se- vere injuries. ► Keep limbs out of the reach of the roots pump. CAUTION Danger of injury from bursting as a result of high pressure in the exhaust line Faulty or inadequate exhaust pipes lead to dangerous situations, e.g.
► Route the mains connection in accordance with locally applicable provisions. ► Always provide a suitable mains fuse to protect the motor and supply cable in the event of a fault. – Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends the circuit breaker type "K" with slow tripping characteristic. NOTICE Motor damage from overheating Limited motor fan cooling capacity, caused by low speeds, causes the motor to overheat.
2. If the direction of rotation is incorrect, exchange the 2 phases on the connection cable. 5.6.3 Connecting the PTC thermistor tripping unit Tripping units store the shut-down Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends connecting motors with PTC in the stator winding to a PTC resistor tripping device for protection against overload. 25/52...

Operation 6 Operation 6.1 Putting the vacuum pump into operation Before switching on 1. Check the lubricant levels on both sight glasses. 2. Compare the specifications on the motor rating plate with the available mains voltage and fre- quency. 3. Make sure that the suction chamber is free from all foreign matters. 4.
2. Set a max. pressure of 2500 hPa on the pressure reducer. 3. Set the desired quantity of sealing gas on the dosing valve of the flow meter. Example for Okta 1000 G with, e.g., 50 hPa intake pressure and 8 % sealing gas content = (1284 × 50 × 0.08)/1013 = 5.07 Nm...
Procedure ► Choose a suitable spray lance from the Pfeiffer Vacuum accessories range and follow the recom- mended cleaning procedure, as specified in the lance’s operating instructions. You can find this document in the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center.
Operation 6.6 Restarting NOTICE Damage to the roots pump from significant temperature fluctuation If the housing cools down too quickly due to external influences, there is a risk of contact being made between the rotor at warm operating temperature, and the colder pump housing. This will result in irreversible pump damage.

The usable life may deviate from the reference value specified depending on thermic and chemical loads, or due to penetrating process media in gear and bearing chambers. Safety data sheets You can obtain the safety data sheets for lubricants from Pfeiffer Vacuum on request, or from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center.
Maintenance Drain the lubricant 1. Shut down the vacuum pump and allow it to cool if necessary. 2. Vent the vacuum pump to atmospheric pressure via the intake side. 3. Unscrew the lubricant filler screws. 4. Place the collection receptacle underneath. 5.
A decreasing oil level, with no leaked oil visible below the roots pump, is due to a worn inner radial shaft seal ring. ► Should this occur, arrange for maintenance to be carried out by Pfeiffer Vacuum Service, during which all 3 radial shaft seal rings and the protective sleeve are replaced.
