SECTION I
SAFETY CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Listed are some, but not all, cautions that must be observed with vacuum pumps and compressed air systems. Failure
to follow any of these warnings may result in death, serious injury and property damage and/or vacuum pump
damage.
This vacuum pump is designed for use in the compression of normal atmospheric air only. No other gases, vapors or
fumes should be exposed to the vacuum pump intake or processed through the vacuum pump.
Disconnect and lock out all power supplies to the vacuum pump plus any remote controllers prior to servicing the
unit.
Relieve all pressure internal to the vacuum pump prior to servicing. Do not depend on check valves to hold system
vacuum.
Do not change the pressure setting of the relief valve, restrict the function of the relief valve or replace the relief valve
with a plug. Over pressurization of system or vacuum pump component can occur, resulting in death, serious injury
and property damage.
Never use a flammable or toxic solvent for cleaning the air filter or any parts.
Do not attempt to service any part while the vacuum pump is operating.
Do not operate the vacuum pump at sump pressures in excess of its rating.
Do not remove any guards or canopy panels while the vacuum pump is operating.
Observe gauges daily to ensure vacuum pump is operating properly.
Follow all maintenance procedures and check all safety devices on schedule.
Never disconnect or tamper with the high air temperature (HAT) sensors.
Use the correct fluid at all times.
