7.1 Indication and control elements
Danger from electric shock!
Electric shock will cause death or serious injury.
• Before commissioning, ensure that all electrical lines are covered and that the terminal
box is closed!
Burn hazard!
The surface of the vacuum pump may reach operating temperatures in excess of 70 °C
in operation.
Do not touch the vacuum pump during and directly after operation.
Insufficient familiarity with the indicators and operating controls may result in damage
to the vacuum system.
Wrong operation.
• Operating staff must be familiar with the indicating and operating elements.
Operation of the vacuum pump without oil will cause severe damage to it quickly.
• The vacuum system is not filled with oil at delivery. Before start-up, the vacuum
pumps have to be filled with oil and the oil level must be checked.
