Secure hose connections at the pump appropriately, e.g.,
with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detach-
ment.
Note: The pump must only be operated in a horizontal
position. When transporting a pump containing oil, take
great care not to tilt the pump to an angle that would allow
oil to make its way into the filter element.
During operation
➨
Vent and dispose of potentially dangerous gases or
vapors at the outlet of the pump appropriately.
+
Due to the high compression ratio, the pump might
generate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure
compatibility with system components (e.g., exhaust
tubing or exhaust valve) at the outlet. Ensure that the
pump outlet is neither blocked nor restricted.
+
Maximum ambient temperature: 104 °F (40 °C)
Check the maximum temperatures, if installing the
pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation
is adequate, especially if the ambient temperature is
elevated.
• If the pump is installed at an altitude of more than 6500
ft (2000 m) above mean sea level, check compatibility
with applicable safety requirements, and adopt suit-
able measures. There is a risk of the motor overheat-
ing due to insufficient cooling.
• Check compatibility with the maximally permitted
pressures at inlet and outlet and the maximum pres-
sure difference between inlet and outlet ports.
• Check the oil level of the rotary vane pump every time
before starting the pump, however at least once a week.
