NOTE
Illustrations
In this instruction manual the illustrations may differ from the machine appearance.
2.1 Operating Principle
The machine works on the Roots blower principle.
A bypass valve (BPV) limits automatically the differential pressure between inlet and out-
let.
2.2 Application
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic
and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the
machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The vacuum booster is used in combination with a backing pump in vacuum system.
The machine is suitable for continuous operation.
Permitted environmental conditions, see Technical Data [►22].
NOTICE
Chemical compatibility of the process gases with the machine component materials.
Risk of corrosion inside the compression chamber which can reduce performance and
its lifetime!
• Check if the process gases are compatible with those following materials:
- Cast iron
- Steel
- Aluminium
- Fluoroelastomer (FKM/FPM)
• In doubt, please contact your Busch representative.
2.3 Shaft Sealing Variants
2.3.1 Mechanical Seal
The shaft sealing consists, in standard execution, of a mechanical seal.

3 | Transport
6 / 24 Instruction Manual PANDA WV 4500 B_EN_en
2.3.2 Lip Seals (Optional)
Optionally, the shaft sealing may consist of three lip seals. This variant requires an oiler
(OR) in order to continuously lubricate the sealing system.
3 Transport
WARNING
Suspended load.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads.
WARNING
Lifting the machine using the motor eye bolt.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not lift the machine using the eye bolt fitted to the motor. Only lift the machine as
shown.
NOTICE
In case the machine is already filled with oil.
Tilting a machine that is already filled with oil can cause large quantities of oil to in-
gress into the cylinder.
• Drain the oil prior to every transport or always horizontally transport the machine.
• Make sure that the eyebolt(s) (EB) is/are in faultless condition, fully screwed in and
tightened by hand.
Machine weight:
see the technical data or the nameplate (NP)
• Check the machine for transport damage.
If the machine is secured to a base plate:

Storage | 4
Instruction Manual PANDA WV 4500 B_EN_en 7 / 24
• Remove the machine from the base plate.
4 Storage
• Seal all apertures with adhesive tape or reuse provided caps.
If the machine is to be stored for more than 3 months:
• Wrap the machine in a corrosion inhibiting film.
• Store the machine indoors, dry, dust free and if possible in original packaging
preferably at temperatures between -20 ... 55 °C.
5 Installation
5.1 Installation Conditions
NOTICE
Use of the machine outside of the permitted installation conditions.
Risk of premature failure!
Loss of efficiency!
• Take care that the installation conditions are fully complied with.
• Make sure that the environment of the machine is not potentially explosive.
• Make sure that the ambient conditions comply with the Technical Data [►22].
• Make sure to use a suitable backing pump, if necessary seek advice from your Busch
representative
• Make sure that the environmental conditions comply with the protection class of the
motor and the electrical instruments.
• Make sure that the installation space or location is vented such that sufficient cooling
of the machine is provided.
• Make sure that cooling air inlets and outlets are not covered or obstructed and that
the cooling air flow is not affected adversely in any other way.
• Make sure that the oil sight glass (OSG) remains easily visible.
• Make sure that enough space remains for maintenance work.
• Make sure that the machine is placed or mounted horizontally, a maximum of 1° in
any direction is acceptable.
• Make sure that the machine is secured either from the four feet or from the discharge
flange.
• Check the oil level, see Oil Level Inspection [►16].
• Make sure that all provided covers, guards, hoods, etc. are mounted.
If the machine is installed at an altitude greater than 1000 meters above sea level:
• Contact your Busch representative, the motor should be derated or the ambient
temperature limited.
5.2 Connecting Lines / Pipes
• Remove all protective covers before installation.
• Make sure that the connection lines cause no stress on the machine‘s connection; if
necessary use flexible joints.

5 | Installation
8 / 24 Instruction Manual PANDA WV 4500 B_EN_en
• Make sure that the line size of the connection lines over the entire length is at least as
large as the connections of the machine.
In case of very long connection lines it is advisable to use larger line sizes in order to
avoid a loss of efficiency. Seek advice from your Busch representative.
5.2.1 Suction Connection
WARNING
Unprotected suction connection.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not put hand or fingers in the suction connection.
NOTICE
Ingress of foreign objects or liquids.
Risk of damage to the machine!
If the inlet gas contains dust or other foreign solid particles:
• Install a suitable filter (5micron or less) upstream from the machine.
Connection size(s):
– DN250, DIN 28404
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
5.2.2 Discharge Connection
Connection size(s):
– DN160, DIN 28404
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
• Make sure that the discharged gas will flow without obstruction. Do not shut off or
throttle the discharge line or use it as a pressurised air source.
5.3 Filling Oil
NOTICE
Use of an inappropriate oil.
Risk of premature failure!
Loss of efficiency!
• Only use an oil type which has previously been approved and recommended by
Busch.

In case of a machine delivery without motor:
• Fit the second coupling hub on the motor shaft (separately delivered).
• Axially adjust the hub in such a way until value "E" is reached.
• When the coupling adjustment is done, lock the coupling hub by tightening the
radial screw.
• Mount the motor on the machine by including the coupling spider.
For further coupling information, go to www.ktr.com and download the instruction man-
ual of the ROTEX® coupling.
