Safety
2.3 Designated use
The machine must only be operated in such areas
as are described in the operating instructions:
• only operate the machine in a technically perfect
condition
• do not operate the machine when it is only partially assembled
• the machine must only be operated at an ambient temperature and suction temperature of
between 5 and 40°C. Please contact us for
temperatures outside this range.
• Rotary lobe pumps are used, normally, in combination with backing pumps.
• the machine may convey, compress or extract
the following media:
• all non-explosive, non-infl ammable, non-ag-
gressive and non-poisonous dry gases and
gas air mixtures
• also to feed in extremely damp gases. The
water vapour compatibility is very high.
2.4 Unacceptable operating modes
• extracting, conveying and compressing explosive, infl ammable, aggressive or poisonous media, e.g. dust as per ATEX zone 20-22, solvents
as well as gaseous oxygen and other oxidants,
water vapour, liquids or solid materials
• using the machine in non-commercial plants if
the necessary precautions and protective measures have not been taken in the plant
• installing in environments that are at risk of explosions
• using the machine in areas with ionising radiation
• modifi cations to the machine and accessories

2.5 Personal qualifi cations and training
• Ensure that people entrusted with working on
the machine have read and understood these
operating instructions before starting work,
particularly the safety instructions for installation,
commissioning, maintenance and inspection
work.
• Manage the responsibilities, competence and
monitoring of staff
• all work must only be carried out be technical
specialists:
