General
safety information
Indicates procedures that must be strictly observed to prevent hazards to
persons.
Indicates procedures that must be strictly observed to prevent damage to,
or destruction of the MAG.
The Leybold MAG
digital
vacuum pump system is designed for safe
and efficient operation when used properly and in accordance
with this manual. It is the responsibility of the user to carefully read
and strictly observe all safety precautions described in this section
and throughout the manual. The turbomolecular pump must only
be operated in the proper condition and under the condi-
tions described in the Operating Instructions. It must be ope-
rated and maintained by trained personnel only. Consult local,
state, and national agencies regarding specific requirements and
regulations. Address any further safety, operation and/or mainte-
nance que-stions to your nearest Leybold Vacuum office.
Never expose any parts of the body to the vacuum.
The standard version of the equipment is not suited for operation
in explosion hazard areas. Contact us before planning to use the
pump under such circumstances.
The pump must be securely attached. If the pump should sud-
denly seize, inadequate attachment could cause the pump to
break away or allow internal pump parts to be discharged.
The rotor has to be changed after 40,000 hours of operation or
after 5000 starts/ stops or cycles at the latest. See also Section
“3.4 Operation at high gas throughput or high forevacuum pres-
sure”.
Due to high-speed and temperature, the service life of the rotor is
limited.
If the rotor is changed too late, it may be destroyed. Thus in the
flange mounts high forces and torque conditions can occur.
The mounting screws for the pump may be torn off. When
using clamped flange connections at the housing or with compo-
nents above the housing, sudden twisting of the entire pump can
be experienced.
