Warnings
Do not evacuate combustible, explosive, or poisonous gases.
Do not operate the vacuum pump in the rain.
Do not remove or insert power plug, or turn ON the pump in an
explosive atmosphere.
If using the pump in a confined area, connect a hose to the pump’s
exhaust fitting and route the hose to the outside.
Power the pump from a grounded AC outlet. Consult a professional
electrician to ensure proper grounding.
Do not use a defective AC power plug or outlet.
Cautions
Do not evacuate gases that corrode metal or react chemically with
the pump oil.
If the air being evacuated contains dust or is above 175° F (80° C),
then a filter or cooling device should be installed at the pump’s
intake.
Do not operate the pump for more than 3 minutes with the intake
open to the atmosphere.
For proper cooling and air ventilation, keep the sides of the pump at
least 1" (2 cm) away from walls, and allow 2" (5 cm) of clearance at
the front and rear of the pump.
Do not lay heavy objects on the power cord or allow the power cord
to become pinched.
Operate the vacuum pump in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Do not operate the pump below an ambient temperature of 40° F
(5° C).
Do not use as a compression pump or transfer pump.
Do not operate without clean vacuum pump oil.
Do not block the exhaust fitting when the pump is operating.
When removing the power plug, grip the plug rather than the cord.
