Safety during operation
➨
Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-
gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting
fluids, vapors and gases. To prevent any emission of
such substances from the pump outlet, install an ap-
propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro-
tective action for pump and environment.
➨
You must take suitable precautions to prevent any for-
mation of explosive mixtures in the oil reservoir (PC 8
with RC 6), in the pump chamber, or at the outlet of the
pump. In case, e.g., of a diaphragm failure, mechani-
cally generated sparks, hot surfaces or static electricity
may ignite these mixtures. Use inert gas for gas ballast
or venting, if necessary.
➨
Drain appropriately or otherwise remove any potential-
ly explosive mixtures at the outlet of the pump, or dilute
them with inert gas to non-explosive concentrations.
➨
Never operate this pump if it has a damaged cord or
plug.

If the pump is not working properly, has been dropped
or has fallen into water, contact your pump service pro-
vider.

Prevent any part of the human body from coming into
contact with vacuum.

Never aspirate liquids or dust into the pump.

Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become
blocked.

Check the overpressure safety relief device at the ex-
haust waste vapor condenser at appropriate intervals.
