The pump can be damaged if it is operated if it is operated in the incor-
rectly installed position. Observe the sticker on the pump and install the
pump only in the permitted orientation.
Never touch the rotor. Touching the rotor may cause injury and damage the
rotor bearing.
If the mounting is not sturdy enough, pump blockage could cause the
pump to break loose; internal pump components could be thrown in all
directions.
Mount the pump firmly to the vacuum chamber. Never operate the pump
without proper flanging to the vacuum chamber (in bench testing, for
example).
Do not operate the vacuum pump with open flanges. Do not reach into the
pump.
