VWR Rotary Vane Pump ver 1.3 23.11.2020
11.45 Frequency of oil changes
The oil change interval is completely dependent upon the running conditions of temperature, operating
pressure, hours of daily operation, and upon the materials pumped. Clean, dry air at pressures below 0.7
mbar (50 mtorr) are the most forgiving conditions. To determine your own oil change interval, visually
monitor the pump oil conditions at regular intervals. If you suspect harsh operating conditions, daily visual
checks are recommended. When the oil becomes cloudy, dark or includes particles of solids, it is time to
change the oil. Be sure to use only VWR RV+ Oil. The ultimate pressure guarantee applies only if this oil is
used!
11.50 Maintenance by the manufacturer
Repairs and maintenance going beyond the extent of the work described in chapter 7.10 Maintenance
Performed by the User or reconditioning or modification may only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized workshops. Drain the oil before dispatching the pump and dispose of the oil according to the
regulations. The prerequisites for a handover are a complete and factually correct damage report, and a
clean pump. Clean the pump aggregate and the pump casing after pumping media which are harmful to
health and the environment. Fill up with sufficient oil to protect against corrosion during transport!
