2 Transport and Storing
2.1 Transport and packaging
vacuum pumps pass a rigorous operating test in our factory and
are packaged to avoid transport damages.
Please check packaging on delivery for transport damages.
Packing materials should be disposed off according to environmental laws or
re-cycled. These operating instructions are part of the consignment. The
connection ports are blanked off by plastic protective caps or stickers.
Take these caps or self-adhesives away before turning on the pump.
The SV40 B & 65 B pumps have the LVO 210 oil delivered separately.
The SV100 B pumps have the LVO 210 oil filled in.
See required space on drawings in paragraph 1.2.
Pumps which have been filled with oil must only be moved in the upright
position (horizontally). Otherwise oil may escape. The angle of slope may not
be over 10° max. Avoid any other orientations while moving the pump. Check
the pump for the presence of any oil leaks, because there is the danger that
someone may slip on the oil which has leaked from the pump. Only use the
lifting lugs which are provided on the pump to lift the pump with the specified
lifting devices.
Make sure that these have been installed safety. Use suitable lifting
equipment. Make sure that all safety regulations are observed. Use only lifting
devices appropriated to the pump weight. Check name plate. Do not use
other pump elements than the lifting lugs as handles.
Before stocking the pump for a long time put it back in its original condition
(blank off inlet and exhaust ports with the shipping seals, drain the oil) and
store the pump in a dry place at room temperature.
Until the pump is put back in to service again, the pump should be stored in a
dry place, preferably at room temperature (20 °C - 168 °F). Before taking the
pump out of service, it should be properly disconnected from the vacuum
system, purged with dry nitrogen and the oil should be exchange too. The
inlet and exhaust ports of the pump must be blanked off using the shipping
seals which are included upon delivery of the pump. Drain the water from the
cooling circuit (See § 3.2). The gas ballast must be closed and if the pump is
to be shelved for a longer period of time is should be sealed in a plastic bag
together with a desiccant (Silicagel).
If the pump has been shelved for over one year, standard maintenance must
be done and the oil must be exchanged too before the pump is put in to
service once more.
We recommend that you contact the service from Leybold.
