5.2.5 Mounting orientations
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.

►
Take measures to counteract the backflow of operating fluids or condensate from the fore-vacuum
area.
