system.
2. Shut down the pump as described in Section 4.4.
3. Disconnect the pump from the electrical supply and vacuum system.
4. Disassemble, clean and reassemble the pump. (Where necessary, contact your supplier or Edwards for advice.)
5. Place and secure protective covers on the inlet and outlet (exhaust) ports.
6. Store the pump in cool, dry conditions until it is required for use. When required, prepare and install the pump
as described in Section 3.

Dispose of the booster pump and any components removed from it safely in accordance with all local and national
safety and environmental requirements.
Take particular care with components and waste oil which have been contaminated with dangerous process
