Lubrication is limited to the two bearing and gear chambers which are arranged separately from the suction chambers. Scan the QR code or click here and see how Pfeiffer Vacuum roots pumps work. Fig. 2: HiLobe 14004 design 1 Filler screw...
The vacuum pump is suitable for vertical direction of flow. 3.2 Identifying product To ensure unambiguous identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always keep all of the information on the rating plate at hand. The following information is shown on the rating plates: ●...
● Fill the gear and bearing chambers with lubricant only once the final installation posi- tion is reached. Packing Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the transport packaging. Safe transport of the product 1. Observe weight specified on the rating plate. 2. Where possible, always transport or ship the roots pump in its original packaging.
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.
► Install suitable touch protection if the vacuum pump is accessible to untrained persons. ► Allow the vacuum pump to cool down before carrying out any work. ► Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum for suitable touch protection in system solutions. General notes for the installation of vacuum components ►...

Installation 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. NOTICE Property damage from intake of solid particles During commissioning, there is a risk of damage to the suction chamber from dirt from the system or the pipes.

Operation Acknowledge error - Query status ► Set up the control unit so that the vacuum pump does not start up automatically after eliminating the fault. ► Set up the control unit so that it actively starts up the vacuum pump after acknowledging the mal- function message.
► Keep limbs out of the reach of the roots pump. 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.
We recommend that Pfeiffer Vacuum Service (PV) carry out maintenance work at level 3. Pfeiffer Vacuum will be released from all warranty and liability claims if maintenance work is not carried out properly. This also applies wherever parts other than original spare parts are used.
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 Draining lubricant Unscrew the fill level limiter To drain the lubricant, in addition to the drain screw, also unscrew the fill level limiter on the pump bottom side. 1. Make sure that there is sufficient space underneath the vacuum pump to place a collection recep- tacle for the lubricant.
