Lock the main compressed air valve in the closed position during maintenance.
The unit can be placed indoors or outdoors.
Consider the following when installing VAC 20:
The foundation is to be level and hard, see '5.2.2 Foundation'.

Indoor installation

Also consider the following when installing VAC 20 indoors:
•
There are to be at least two ventilation openings for ventilation, at least 250×250 mm
(10"×10") in size. One is to be placed up high and the other on down low.
•
Never seal a small room with a VAC 20 unit installed completely. At some stages
the unit will admit air directly into the roots pump. This can cause a dangerous
underpressure in the room if the air flow is obstructed.
