0.1 Mechanical Hazards

1 When operated with an open intake flange, there exists a risk of suffer-

ing injury by rotating parts. Do not operate the pump with an open

intake flange or fan cover except when checking the direction of rota-

tion.

2 Avoid exposing any part of the human body to the vacuum.

3 The pump is intended for generating a vacuum only. If an overpressure

can occur in the system then the pump must be protected against

such an overpressure by an overpressure safety valve, for example.

4 We recommend to always operate the pump with a silencer or a con-

nected discharge line. The pressure in the discharge line must not

exceed atmospheric pressure by 200 mbar max.

Make sure that the gas flow at the discharge is not blocked or restrict-

ed in any way, even when the pumped out gases need to be collected

or contained.

The discharge line must not be blocked or restricted. Before commis-

sioning the pump, open all shutoff devices or valves in the discharge

line.

In the case of processes involving much condensate, we recommend

the installation of a condensate separator in the discharge line.

5 Select the location where the pump is installed so that all controls can

be easily accessed. Deposit the pump only on a floor which is level. It

can topple when it is tilted by more than 10° with respect to the verti-

cal axis. When the pump is filled with oil an angle exceeding 2° is not

permissible.

For pumps on castors only

Because of the fitted castors, the pump must only be placed on a level

floor capable of supporting the pump’s weight, as otherwise there

exists the risk of the pump rolling away. Moreover, the pump may only

be moved on a level floor! Moving the pump along sloping paths or

ramps is prohibited! The pump must only be transported with a forklift

or a crane! At the installation location, secure against rolling away.

6 For transporting the pump use only approved transport means. When

selecting the lifting and transport means take note of the total weight

before transporting the pump. As standard, the pump has been

equipped with two crane eyes. When transporting the pump with a

forklift or alike, ensure that the pump has been secured on the

supplied or a suitable palette.

The crane eyes of the screw pump must never be used to lift any

pump combinations (Roots pump + backing pump).

CAUTION

Safety Information

GA02412_002_C0 - 10/2016 - © Leybold

7 Before beginning with any maintenance and servicing work always

ensure that no gas can flow backwards through the pump since then

the rotors might turn against the normal direction of rotation. For this

reason vent the vacuum chamber to the exhaust pressure level or

ensure through suitable valves that the vacuum chamber and the lines

are reliably separated from the pump. When connecting several pump

systems, pressure differences between inlet and discharge can give

rise to uncontrolled turning of the pump’s shafts.

8 Lay the electric feed lines so that there is no risk of tripping over these.

9 The warning information on the pump must not be covered.

10 When changing the oil remove any escaped oil as otherwise there is

the risk of slipping.

0.2 Electrical Hazards

1 The electrical connection must only be provided by a trained person.

Please observe the national regulations in the country of use like

EN50110-1 for Europe, for example.

2 Lay the connecting lines so that they cannot be damaged. Protect the

lines against humidity and contact with water. Avoid thermally stressing

the lines due to unfavourable laying.

3 Note the information on the type of protection.

4 The pump must only be operated at the frequency specified for the

motor even when operated off a frequency converter.

When using frequency converters you must ensure an effective protec-

tion against overspeeding.

5 Always operate the pump with a properly connected protective earth

conductor.

6 The pump must be integrated within the system controller such that

the pump can not run up automatically when the pump has been shut

down before due to an overloaded motor.

This equally applies to any emergency shutdowns. After having

removed the fault cause, the pump must be switched on manually

again.

7 Before starting with any maintenance or servicing work reliably discon-

nect the pump from all sources of power (lockout/tagout).

8 High electric voltages! When touching parts at high electric voltages,

there is the risk of suffering severe injuries by an electric shock! Covers

marked with this symbol must only be opened by trained electricians

after having reliably deenergised (lockout/tagout) the equipment.

9 Observe the manufacturer’s information and the Operating Instructions

for the respective frequency converter.

10 After having connected the motor and each time after having made

changes to the wiring, check the direction of rotation. If the direction of

rotation is wrong, the pressure can increase on the intake side.

Moreover, the pump can suffer severe damage.

DANGER

Safety Information

GA02412_002_C0 - 10/2016 - © Leybold

0.3 Thermal Hazards

1 With the pump warm from operation, the housing and oil temperature

may exceed 70 °C. Protect hot parts against being touched. Let pump

and oil cool down. Always wear protective gloves and protective gog-

gles, also for protection against aggressive residues in the oil.

2 Handle the pump only while vented and after having let it cool down.

3 Take note of the warning information on the housing surface. If this

warning information was removed, covered or obstructed, then pro-

vide corresponding additional warning information.

4 Never open the oil fill or oil drain plugs while the pump is running.

There is the risk of suffering burns.

0.4 Hazards Caused by Materials and Substances

1 The pump is not suited for pumping of:

■combustible and explosive gases and vapours (except within the

permissible scope for pumps certified in accordance with ATEX

Category 3 inside)

■radioactive and toxic substances

■gas mixtures with an oxygen share exceeding 21%

■pyrophorous (self-igniting) substances.

Moreover, the pumps are not suited for placement and operation

within explosion hazard areas.

Please consult us first when planning such an application.

2 Before commissioning the pump, make sure that the media which are

to be pumped are compatible with each other so as to avoid hazar-

dous situations. All relevant safety standards and regulations must be

observed.

3 Before operating the pump with a gas ballast or a purge gas (option)

check the compatibility of the gas with the pumped media so as to

avoid dangerous conditions during operation.

4 Pump with installed purge gas unit:

When operating the pump with a purge gas valve, secure the purge

gas supply so that in the event of a malfunction no overpressure can

occur in the system.

5 When nitrogen is used as the purge gas or as the gas ballast, small

quantities of nitrogen can escape to the surroundings. Ensure sufficient

ventilation for the room in which to pump has been installed.

6 The vacuum line must be leaktight. Reactive or corrosive process

gases may escape or the pumped gases can react with air or atmos-

pheric humidity. After installation of the pump and after servicing work

on the vacuum, a leak search will always be necessary.

Please note the special information on the pump’s shaft seal given in

the following.

CAUTION

DANGER

Safety Information

GA02412_002_C0 - 10/2016 - © Leybold

7 Shaft seal of the pump

Shaft seals are present only on the discharge side of the pump’s

rotors. The two shaft seals are non-contacting owing to a combination

of piston ring and labyrinth seals, but are not hermetically tight. The

seal in the direction of the atmospheric side and in the direction of the

gear chamber is vented.

In the case of a low pressure in the discharge line there is the risk of

adding small quantities of air via the shaft seal to the process gas.

When the discharge pressure on the process gas side exceeds atmos-

pheric pressure, small quantities of processed gas can escape into the

gear housing and also to the outside.

In order to prevent any process gas from escaping from the pump

chamber, use purge gas for the shaft seal. The purge gas will reliably

prevent any leaks between the gas chamber and the surroundings

provided the correct quantity of purge gas is used within the specified

limits.

Please consult us first when planning such an application.

8 When the pump has been used to pump harmful media before, intro-

duce corresponding safety precautions before opening the intake or

the discharge connections. Before opening the pump, purge it for a

longer period of time with an inert gas. If necessary, wear gloves,

breathing protection or protection clothing and work under a fume

hood. Firmly seal off the pump. When shipping the decontaminated

pump for servicing please also indicate the type of hazard. For this see

Section 5.7 Service at Leybold.

When shipping contaminated pumps which require approval by the

authorities, note the applicable regulations regarding packaging and

shipping.

9 In special cases the composition of these substances may be relevant

to safety. In these cases, the user must carefully review the effect of

these substances and introduce suitable personnel protection meas-

ures.

You must also expect the gas to have a different composition at the

inlet compared to the discharge. This must be included in the assess-

ment of potential hazards.

10 In case of a malfunctioning pump, in particular because of a blocked

discharge line or seized rotors due to hard deposits or foreign objects,

the possibility of leaks in the casing cannot be ruled out. When pump-

ing harmful gases, the operator must ensure that such a malfunction

cannot occur, respectively that leaks at the pump will not be a hazard.
