• Check the power source and the pump’s rating plate
to be sure that the power source and the equipment
match in voltage, phase, and frequency.
• Use only oil of the recommended type. Other oils or op-
erating fluids may cause damage of the pump or dan-

Use special oils (see “Oil change”, pg. 32) for the
rotary vane pump, if, e.g.,
- acid vapors are pumped.
- extremely high aging stability is required.
- oxygen or other strong oxidizing agents are pumped.
• Take adequate precautions when handling pump fluids,
lubricants, and solvents. Use appropriate protective
clothing, safety goggles and protective gloves to avoid
excessive contact with the skin and possible skin irrita-

that possible toxic effects of certain vapors are avoided.
Maintain adequate levels of hygiene and cleanliness.
• Comply with all relevant statutory requirements and
regulations concerning the handling, storage and dis-

Note: Do not allow oils to enter the drainage system
or other bodies of water. Spillage can cause accidents
(slip hazard)!
