ROOTS OPERATING INSTRUCTION
1Important basic information
These operating instructions form part of the
technical documentation of the system, and are
addressed to the person in charge of the plant,
who is obliged to provide them to the staff
responsible for the system set-up, connection,
operation and maintenance.
He must ensure that all information included in the
operating instructions and the enclosed
documents have been read and understood.
These operating instructions are the exclusive

Any company or personal can not duplicate,
transfer it to third party, or make illegal business
use. Any operation on the pump should be in
accordance with the instruction.
The manufacture does not accept liability for
damage to persons, animals, objects or
incomplete observance of the safety precautions
included in these operating instructions or by
modifications to the system or use of improper
Warning: Do not move and modify any safety and
insulating device, which may cause great danger.
Warning: The pump can only pump gas. However,
It can not pump any gas that is poisonous,
inflammable, explosive and corrosive, either gas
that reacts with vacuum gas. The pump cannot
used to transit gas. It could be used to pump gas
with few particles, however, it can not pump
Chemicals, condensates, powders and other
granules which will damage equipment, reduce
performance and shorten service life.
Warning: Do not put the pump in rain, steam and
humid air which may cause an electric shock, a
short circuit and the damage of the whole system.
Warning: Whenever changing the wire, please
Warning: Use suitable fuses to prevent short
Warning: Do not put hands or other stuff into the
pump when it operates. The behavior will cause
bodily injury and damage of pump parts.
Attention: (please ignore if the pump use air
cooling. This is for water cooling type only) The
pipe of the cooling water cannot be obstruct,
otherwise the temperature of pump will be too
Attention: The pump needs regular maintenance;
otherwise there will be damage, or even reduction
of its life. Cut down circuit before check and repair,
and only operate when power is off.
Attention: The temperature of operation
environment should be 5C-40C to prevent the
pump from damaging and shortening the life of
Attention: The pump should be put at safe places
with proper ventilation, solid and flat base , and
clean floor, without corrosive gas. Otherwise, the
pump will be damaged and the life of use will be
Attention: please ignore if the pump use air
cooling. This is for water cooling type only) In cold
area, the coolant jacket must be drained after car
stopped. Otherwise the coolant may freeze and
thus damage the pump shell.

Except the above features, ZJP series Roots
Pump has own a relief valve which function is to
control roots pump's differential pressure
between air-inlet and air-outlet. When the
differential pressure is over standard one the
relief valve opens automatically. Because the
pump's inlet-outlet is interlinked, some of gas
returns to the inlet. At this time, the pump
operates in a constant differential pressure.
When the differential pressure is lower than that
of a relief valve, the valve close automatically
