1. Safety instructions

The rotary-vane pump 1003317 is in accordance

with the following applicable European directives

and standards:

89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility

73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive

EMC: EN55014-1 (2000) + A2 (2002),

EN55014-2 (1997) + A1 (2001)

LVD: EN60034-1 (1998) + A11 (2002)

Safe operation of the pump is guaranteed, pro-

vided it is used correctly. However, there is no

guarantee of safety if the equipment is used in

an improper or careless manner.

The pump may only be used for its intended

use. Any other use is to be considered improper.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for

damages caused by improper use of the pump.

Under no circumstance must the pump be al-

tered or tampered with.

In case of tempering the manufacturer declines

any responsibility for the functioning and safety

of the pump.

If it may be assumed for any reason that non-

hazardous operation will not be possible (e.g. visible

damage), the pump should be switched off immedi-

ately and secured against any unintended use.

In schools and other educational institutions, the

operation of the pump must be supervised by

qualified personnel.

• Before setting up and using the pump for the

first time, read the manual carefully.

• Confirm that the voltage selector switch is

set to the local mains voltage.

• The pump may only be connected to the mains

via a socket that has an earth connection.

• The pump may only be opened/repaired by

qualified and trained personnel. Always discon-

nect the pump by pulling the mains plug before

proceeding to any of the mentioned operations.

ervoir to the proper oil level with clean vacuum pump oil. 4.4 Maintenance 4.4.1 Vacuum pump oil The condition and the type of oil used in any high performance vacuum pump are extremely important in determining the ultimate attainable vacuum. It is recommended to use the high performance vacuum pump oil, which is specifically blended to maintain maximum viscosity at normal running temperatures and to improve cold weather start up. 4.4.2 Oil change • Ensure that the pump is warmed up. • Pull the mains plug.
