Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Preparing for installation Check the following points: • • • • • Machine freely accessible from all sides Do not close ventilation grids and holes Sufficient room for installing and removing pipes and for maintenance work, particularly for installing and dismantling the machine No external vibration effects Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other machines into the cooling system. The filter housing (Fig. 2/S) should be easily accessible. The cooling air inlets (Fig.
Installation 5.3 Connecting pipes a) Vacuum connection at (Fig. 2/A) NOTICE Material damage resulting from the forces and torques of the pipes on the unit being too high. Only screw pipes in by hand. Bei zu enger und/oder langer Saugleitung vermindert sich das Saugvermögen der Vakuumpumpe.
Installation 5.5 Connecting the motor DANGER Danger of death if the electrical installation has not been done professionally. The electrical installation may only be done by a specialist electrician observing EN 60204. The operating company has to provide the main switch. a) The motor’s electrical data is given on the data plate (Fig. 2/N) or on the motor data plate. The motors comply with DIN EN 60034 and are in protection class IP 55 and insulation class F.
Commissioning and decommissioning 6 Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1 Commissioning WARNING Improper use May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be sure to obey the safety instructions. CAUTION Hot surfaces When the machine is at operating temperature the surface temperatures on the components (Fig. 2/ Q) may go above 70°C. You must avoid touching the hot surfaces (marked with warning plates).
Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1.1 Checking the rotation direction The drive shaft direction of rotation is shown by the rotation direction arrow (Fig. 2/O) on the motor flange. a) Start the motor briefly (max. two seconds) to check the direction of rotation. When looking at the motor fan, it must rotate clockwise. NOTICE Incorrect direction of rotation Running the machine in reverse for a long time may cause damage to the blades which may lead to the blades breaking.
Maintenance and repair 7 Maintenance and repair DANGER Danger of death from touching live parts. Before maintenance work disconnect the machine by pressing the main switch or unplugging it and ensure that it cannot be turned on again. WARNING Hot surfaces During maintenance work there is the danger of getting burnt on hot components (Fig. 2/Q) of the machine. Wait for the machine to cool down. 7.
Maintenance and repair 7.2.1 Lubrication w1 s a L s s s M a s w1 G s A bearing (motor side) The A bearing (motor side) has life long lubrication and is therefore maintenance free. After 20,000 operating hours or 2½ years (3- shift operation), the A bearing must be replaced by a qualified professional or by our authorised workshops. B bearing (side facing away from the motor) The B bearing (on the side facing away from the motor) must be lubricated on the grease nipple (Fig.
Maintenance and repair Changing blades: If the minimum height or the minimum thickness has already been reached or if the blades have fallen below these levels the whole blade set must be changed. NOTICE Do not undo the slotted nuts (Fig. 4/w1) on the housing lid (Fig. 5/b). Only the screws (Fig. 4/s) need to be removed to change the blades. b c G1 d s Fig. 5 Lubrication/ Blades G1 Protective cover b Housing lid c Grease store d Blade s Screws Y Z X O1 Fig.
