Transport and storage Storage The ONF 025/040, ONF 025/040 C should be stored dry and protected from moisture. The filter inserts can absorb moisture, and the lubrication properties of the oil and hence the ultimate pressure can be negatively influenced in pumps with an oil return unit.

Installation Installation Assembly To install the ONF in a vacuum system, an ISO small flange or ISO clamp flanges are provided on the input side and output side. The flanges are provided with protective caps when delivered to protect the seals. If gases are pumped that may not enter the atmosphere, an exhaust line must be con- nected to the small flange on the pressure relief valve.

Installation Prior to conversion work check the pump's ultimate pressure to get a reference value. ONF 040, ONF 040 C For this purpose, measure the ultimate pressure at the intake side with a vacuum gauge (e.g. Pirani). ONF 040 ONF 040 C 4.1/ Fig.
Operation Operation NOTICE Damage to the pump due to condensate in the operating fluid! Returned condensate generated by vapors or by temperature differences between the oil mist filter and pump impairs the quality of the operating fluid and negatively impacts the pump's final vacuum.

Maintenance Replace cover seal 9, mind that the sealing surfaces are not damaged. Loosen deflector 10 if required. Remove washer 18, pay attention to seal 19. Replace seals 19 and O-rings 20 (if existing). Replace filter elements 12; cleaning is not recommended in most cases. Use organic solvents to clean them (not water-soluble agents such as soda).
