2 Transport and storing
When moving the heavier pumps, the lower surfaces on the base flange are
suitable for accepting a lifting fork; see Fig. 2.1.
Remove the equipment from the transportation box and keep the packaging.
Make sure that the product has not been damaged during transportation. If
this unit is damaged contact your carrier and inform Leybold if necessary. For
storage of the product, use the packaging pro vided.
Be careful not to damage the sockets and connections during transporta-
tion.
Do not stand below the pump while connecting or removing the turbomo-
lecular pump.
The turbomolecular pump is shipped in a sealed PE bag with desiccant. Do
not open the sealed package until immediately before installing.
Do not remove the covers and blanking flanges until you are ready to make
the connections, to ensure that the turbomolecular pump is installed under
the cleanest possible conditions.
Turbomolecular pumps which were not operated for a period of over 12
months should be returned to us. For more information on this please con-
tact your local sales partner.
Do not store pump and accessories in a moist atmosphere so as to prevent
these items from suffering corrosion.
keep the packaging
