2.1 Installation
The standard pump is not suited for instal-
lation in explosion hazard areas.
• Before starting up the pump for the first
time make sure that the pump and the
installed accessories meet the require-
ments of your application and that safe ope-
ration is ensured. If hazardous substances
are to be pumped, ensure that all relevant
safety regulations are observed.
• Avoid exposure of any part of the human
body to a vacuum.The exists the danger of
injury. Never operate the pump with its
intake open.Vacuum connections as well as
oil fill and oil drain openings must never be
opened during operation.
The safety regulations which apply to the
application in each case must be observed.
This applies to installation, operation and
maintenance (servicing) as well as waste
disposal and transport.
Our technical sales staff are at hand should you have
any questions in these matters.
Before pumping oxygen (or other highly
reactive gases) at concentrations excee-
ding the concentration in the atmosphere
(> 21 % for oxygen) it will be necessary to
use a special pump. Such a pump will have
to be modified and de-greased, and an inert
special lubricant (like PFPE) must be used.
The pump is not suited for processes and
pumping of:
1 - Explosive gases or vapours.
2 - Oxidants (except the Formblin types,
see Operating Instructions GA PFPE
07.009).
3 - Pyrophrous gases.
4 - The pumps are not suited for pumping
of liquids or very dusty media. Corres-
ponding protection measures must be
introduced.
Our technical sales staff are at hand should you have
any questions in these matters.
Install the pump on a flat, horizontal surface.The base of
the pump must be supported evenly and horizontally at
the four points of contact. If the pump stands on a level
floor, it is not necessary to bolt it down unless the inlet
and exhaust lines are rigidly connected. Always bolt the
pump down when installing it in a frame or on a stand.
For this we recommend using our vibration absorbing
feet (see Accessories).
The use of vibration absorbing feet does not
prevent pump vibration, but merely reduces
the vibrations transmitted to the supporting
structure.
However, the inclination of the pump must
not exceed 10° from the vertical.
The pump's ambient temperature should be
between 12 °C and 40 °C. Lower tempera-
tures necessitate additional measures
when starting the pump (pre-heating the oil,
larger motor); higher temperatures cause
greater wear of the pump and require more
frequent oil changes.
To permit adequate cooling of the pump
leave about 0.5 m (20 inches) space bet-
ween the pump and the wall. Always keep
the air intakes at the motor fan clean.
