1.20 To Prevent Injury
- Never operate this product if it has a damaged cord or plug.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. All electrical products generate heat. Do not touch the
marked areas.
- Maintain a space of least 20 cm between the pump and adjacent parts in order to enable the pump
to cool.
- Always disconnect power source before servicing and secure against switching on again.
- Do not insert any object into the ventilation slots.
- Do not operate this product where oxygen is being administered.
- Wear safety glasses and goggles when operating this product.
- Use only in well ventilated areas.
- The manufacturer or authorized workshops will only service or maintain the rotary vane pumps if it is
accompanied by a fully completed damage report. Precise information about the contamination (also
negative information if necessary) and thorough cleaning of the pump are legally binding parts of the
contract.
- Contaminated pumps and their individual parts must be disposed of in accordance with the legal
regulations.
- Only operate the rotary vane pumps with the specified flange-mounting components.
- Hazardous substances must be separated out as far as this is technically possible before they reach
the pump.
- External mechanical stresses and vibrations must not be transmitted to the pump. Only use flexible
vacuum hoses for connecting rotary vane pumps.
- The pump should not be used to suck up fluids. Lay the exhaust pipe so that it slopes downwards,
so allowing condensate to flow out of the pump. Collect the condensate and dispose of it in an
environmentally compatible manner.

rotary vane pump must not be operated in rooms which might contain explosive or
flammable gases
