Do not start the pump if the

pressure difference between

inlet and outlet ports exceeds max. 16.0 psi (1.1 bar).

Attempts to start the pump at higher pressure difference

may cause stalling and damage of the motor.

If pumping condensable vapors (water vapor, solvents,

etc.), let the pump run with

gas ballast to help purge any

condensation in the pump.

Prevent internal condensation, transfer of liquids or dust.

The diaphragms and valves will be damaged, if liquids are

pumped in significant amounts.

Check the pump regularly for external soiling and depos-

its. Clean the pump if necessary to avoid an increase of

the pump’s operating temperature.

In case of overload, the motor is shut down by a

self-hold

thermal circuit breaker in the winding.

Note: Only a manual reset is possible. Switch off the

pump and disconnect the electrical power cord. Identify

and eliminate the cause of failure. Wait approximately five

minutes before restarting the pump.

Note: In case of supply voltage below 100V, the lock

of the breaker may not latch and the pump might re-

start on its own after sufficient cooling. Take appropri-

ate precautions, if an automatic restart of the pump

may lead to a dangerous situation.

A warm up period (approximately 15 min.) is required to

ensure that the rated ultimate vacuum and pumping speed

are attained. Avoid overheating (e.g., due to hot process

gases).

Important notes regarding the use of gas bal-

last

Gas ballast is a continuous purge to keep the pump’s in-

terior as clean as possible and to reduce the possibility of

condensation inside the pump.
