Safety guideline for rotary vane pumps
Oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps can reach high operating temperatures. It is
therefore recommended to let the pump cool down before performing any type of
maintenance.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Always carry the pump by means of the ring-bolt provided.
The pump must be set in position taking the upmost care in order to avoid
accidental falls.
In case of a need to handle the pump after a period of operation, it must be
left to cool first as the external surface temperature may be in excess of
60 °C.
To avoid damage to equipment and to prevent injuries to operating
personnel the installation instructions as given in this manual should be
strictly followed!
