Operation

WARNING
Risk of accident - read the following prior to
operation:
• The indicator on the vacuum gauge [1-3] must
remain within the green sector at all times.
As soon as the indicator enters the red sector,
stop work immediately and rectify the cause of
the fault (see "Chap. 13 Fault rectifi cation").
• Make sure that all covers, protective grilles,
hoods, etc. supplied with the machine are fi tted
and closed.
• Make sure that all installation requirements
are fulfi lled at all times, especially those re-
garding adequate cooling.
Working method
• Switch on the pump at the switch [1-2] (I = ON,
0 = OFF).
• Connect a vacuum hose to the connector [2-2].
• Wait until the indicator on the vacuum gauge
[1-3] is within the green sector.
The machine is now ready for operation.
• After use, switch off the pump at the on/off
switch [1-2].
8 Service and maintenance
WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
•
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
•
All maintenance and repair work which re-
quires the housing to be opened must only
be carried out by an authorised service work-
shop.
•
Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales service
workshop.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
ventilation openings [1-4] on the pump container
clean and free of blockages. Clean the protective
grille with a dust extractor. If damaged, have the
protective grille replaced by an authorised service
workshop. The slides (fi ns) on the dry-running
rotary vane pump wear during operation and must
be replaced after 5000 - 8000 operating hours.
Replacement is necessary if the [2-2] connection
is closed off with a protective cap [2-3] and the
indicator on the vacuum gauge [1-3] indicates
less than -0.7 bar.
The slide valve should be changed by an author-
ised service workshop only.
Changing the air fi lter
We recommend changing the air fi lter [4-1] every
12 months to avoid damage to the pump.
Procedure: see assembly instructions.
