2 Transport and Storing
To lift the pumps only use the handle provided for this purpose,
respectively use corresponding lifting facilities. When connecting or
removing the pump, do not move under hoisted loads.
If possible transport the pump in its original packaging, if not available
exercise due care.
Pumps which are filled with operating agents must only be moved while
standing upright. Otherwise oil may escape. Avoid any other orientations
during transport. Check the pump for the presence of any oil leaks, since
there
exists the danger that someone may slip on spilt oil.
Before putting a pump into operation once more it should be stored in a dry
place preferably at room temperature (20 °C). Before the pump is shelved it
must be properly disconnected from the vacuum system, purged with dry
nitrogen and the oil should be changed too.
The inlets and outlets of the pump must be sealed with the shipping seals
which are provided upon delivery.
The gas ballast switch must be set to the „0“ position and if the pump is to
be shelved for a longer period of time it should be sealed in a PE bag contai-
ning some desiccant (silica gel).
When a pump is put into operation after it has been shelved for over one
year, standard maintenance should be run on the pump and the oil should
also be exchanged (see Section 5.4). We recommend that you contact the
Leybold Service.
