5.2 Oil specifications
It is strongly recommended to use genuine Atlas Copco Lubricants. They are the result of years of field experience
and research. See section Preventive maintenance schedule for the advised replacement intervals and consult your
Spare Parts list for part number information.
Avoid mixing lubricants of different brands or types as they may not be compatible and the
oil mix may have inferior properties.
Atlas Copco vacuum vanes fluid plus 100
Atlas Copco’s vacuum vanes fluid plus 100 is a specially developed lubricant that can be used in the gearbox of the
claw pump. It’s specific composition keeps the vacuum pump in excellent condition.
5.3 Storage
If the pump is to be stored for a short time then it is advisable to take some precautions. Always isolate the pump
from the suction inlet and exhaust outlet. Make sure it is clean and dry from process or condensation within the
element. In order to keep rubber parts and lip seals efficient and properly working, we recommend to operate the
pump for at least 30 minutes every 6 months with the intake closed.
Ideally the pump should be covered to protect from mechanical damage and kept clean, dry and isolated.
Long-term storage needs a little more consideration. It is best to ask for further advice from Atlas Copco especially
when a restart / decommissioning is required.
If the pump is going to be stored without running from time to time, protective measures must be taken.
Consult Atlas Copco.
5.4 Disposal of used material
Used lubricants or any other used material (for example, cleaning rags, machine parts, and so on) must be disposed
of in an environmentally friendly and safe manner, and in line with the local recommendations and environmental
legislation.
