.Consult local, state, and national agencies regarding specific require-
ments and regulations. Address any further safety, operation and/or mainten-
ance questions to your nearest Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum office.
Failure to observe the following precautions could result in serious
personal injury.
Never pump toxic, explosive, flammable, corrosive gases, chemicals,
solvents or powders. Flowing substances, explosion or fire can cause
bodily injury.
Install the pump in an area without explosive or flammable substances.
Otherwise, it can cause explosion or fire.
Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. Otherwise there is the risk
of suffering an electric shock.
Prevent short-circuits with a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) of pro-
per capacity.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock or fire.
Ask a specialist to perform repairs. Otherwise there exists the risk that the
pump may fail, is damaged or its service life is severely reduced. Trained
customers may perform maintenance themselves.
Be sure to install a main disconnect switch. Failure to do so can result in
damage, fire, or injury.
Be sure to disconnect the electric source before changing the wiring or
before an inspection. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or
damage by the rotating fan.
