Safety during operation

Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-

gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting

fluids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission of

such substances from the pump outlet, install an ap-

propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro-

tective action for pump and environment.

You must take suitable precautions to prevent any for-

mation of explosive mixtures in the oil reservoir (PC 8

with RC 6), in the pump chamber, or at the outlet of the

pump. In case, e.g., of a diaphragm failure, mechani-

cally generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity

may ignite these mixtures. Use inert gas for gas ballast

or venting, if necessary.

Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any potential-

ly explosive mixtures at the outlet of the pump, or dilute

them with inert gas to non-explosive concentrations.

Never operate this pump if it has a damaged cord or

plug.

+

If the pump is not working properly, has been dropped

or has fallen into water, contact your pump service pro-

vider.

+

Prevent any part of the human body from coming into

contact with vacuum.

+

Never aspirate liquids or dust into the pump.

+

Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become

blocked.

+

Check the overpressure safety relief device at the ex-

haust waste vapor condenser at appropriate intervals.
