INSTRUCTION WARNING AND CAUTION PLEASE READ BEFORE OPERATION While reading your manual, please pay close attention to areas labeled: WARNING AND CAUTION. The description of each is found below. WARNING Warnings are given where failure to observe instruction could result in injury or death to people.
Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly has been dropped damaged or has fallen into water, please return the product to a Welch service center for examination and repair.
If you are required to communicate with your dealer or Welch Vacuum, be sure to include your order numbers for quick identification. Do not return the pump to the factory without first calling for a returned goods number.
Review the power source and the motor rating to be sure they agree in voltage, phase, and frequency. Serious damage may occur to the motor if it is connected to an improper voltage. All Welch pumps must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of an electrical short circuit. The plug must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
Review the power requirements as described in Section l-6. Welch recommends running the pump for a few minutes to warm it up, before use. The warm-up improves the pumps ability to handle humid air.
Section 08 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.10 VACUUM PROBLEMS Leakage, contamination, and unusual outgassing are the general causes of problems associated with poor vacuum. To operate at maximum efficiency, a system must be thoroughly clean. It the system is completely clean and free from leaks, and unwarranted vacuum problems still exist, the pump should be checked. A simple criterion for the condition of the pump is the determination of its maximum vacuum capability.
