Installation Fig. 10: Installing a flushing device Installing a protective If there is a risk that solid particles will be carried along in the evacuation process then a protective strainer should be installed in the intake connection piece to protect the Roots strainer pump (see accessories).
Operation Operation Before switching on the pump Check lubricant levels at both sight glasses and at the oiler as well. Operate shut-off units in the exhaust line in such a way that they open before or at the same time as starting the pump.
Operation This applies to exhaust pressures > 100 hPa: · (p Δ ) · A NOTICE High pressure in the sealing gas line when the pump is switched off! Risk of damage to the pump seals. Lower sealing gas pressure to < 1200 hPa or stop sealing gas feed immediately. Adjusting the flush- ...

Depending on the applications, Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the ex- act service life of the operating fluid during the first year of operation. The replacement interval may vary from the guide value specified by Pfeiffer Vacuum depending on the thermal and chemical loads, and the accumulation of suspended par- ticles and condensation in the operating fluid.
Maintenance Allow the lubricant to drain off. Screw in lubricant drain screw 124 with O-ring. Fill oiler 47 to halfway with new lubricant (sealing oil). Falling oil level in the oiler and an oil leak below the lamp indicates a defective external radial shaft seal ring.
Maintenance Cleaning the overflow valve Turn off the vacuum pump, vent to atmospheric pressure and allow to cool. Undo screws 111 and remove valve cover 23, observe O-ring 73. Remove valve plate 33 from the overflow channel and dismantle it. ...
Maintenance Dismantling and assembling the motor/coupling WARNING Exposed, rotating coupling! Items of clothing could be trapped and wound up. When mounting the motor, always ensure a correct seating of the coupling protection. Wear close-fitting clothing.
