4.1 Transport
WARNING
Risk of serious injury from swinging, toppling or falling objects
During transport, there is a risk of crushing and impact on swinging, toppling or falling objects. There
is a risk of injuries to limbs, up to and including bone fractures and head injuries.
►
Secure the danger zone if necessary.
►
Pay attention to the center of gravity of the load during transport.
►
Ensure even movements and moderate speeds.
►
Observe safe handling of the transport devices.
►
Avoid sloping attachment aids.
►
Never stack products.
►
Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
NOTICE
Destruction of the vacuum pump due to failure to observe the type-specific spatial position
Impermissible spatial positions lead to pollution of the vacuum pump by operating fluid. There is a
risk of pollution of the process vacuum and damage to the vacuum pump up to and including its de-
struction.
►
Observe the labels relating to the valid spatial position of the vacuum pump.
►
Observe the property labels on the type plate.
►
Drain off the operating fluid before moving or transporting the vacuum pump.
►
Only fill the vacuum pump with operating fluid after mechanical installation.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov-
er.
General information regarding safe transport
1. Observe weight specified on the rating plate.
2. Where possible, always transport or ship the turbopump in its original packaging.
3. Remove the protective cover only immediately prior to installation.
Information regarding transport of the turbopump in its packaging
1. Use a pallet truck to transport the turbopump when still in its packaging.
2. Note the center of gravity of the load.
3. Observe safe handling of manually operated transport devices.
4. Only transport the turbopump in its valid spatial position and with the rotor axis vertically aligned.
5. Ensure harmonious movements and moderate speeds.
6. Ensure a flat substrate.
7. Wear protective equipment, e.g. safety shoes.
