with hose clamps, to protect against accidental detach-
ment.
Note: The pump must only be operated in a horizontal
position. When transporting a pump containing oil, take
great care not to tilt the pump to an angle that would allow
oil to make its way into the filter element.
During operation
➨
Vent and dispose of potentially dangerous gases or
vapors at the outlet of the pump appropriately.
+
Due to the high compression ratio, the pump might gen-
erate overpressure at the outlet. Check pressure com-
patibility with system components (e.g., exhaust tubing
or exhaust valve) at the outlet. Ensure that the pump
outlet is neither blocked nor restricted.
+
Maximum ambient temperature: 104 °F (40 °C)
Check the maximum temperatures, if installing the
pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation
is adequate, especially if the ambient temperature is
elevated.
• If the pump is installed at an altitude of more than 6500
ft (2000 m) above mean sea level, check compatibility
with applicable safety requirements, and adopt suitable
measures. There is a risk of the motor overheating due
to insufficient cooling.
• Check compatibility with the maximally permitted
pressures at inlet and outlet and the maximum pres-
sure difference between inlet and outlet ports.
• Check the oil level of the rotary vane pump every time
before starting the pump, however at least once a week.
Check the oil level more frequently if high amounts of
gas or vapor are pumped.
