2.2 Application
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic
and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the
machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The machine is designed for indoor installation, in case of outdoor installation, ask your
Busch representative in order to take specific precautions.
The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data [► 22].
Depending on the version, the operating time of the machine can be limited as followed:

WARNING
Suspended load.
Risk of severe injury!
• Do not walk, stand or work under suspended loads.
NOTICE
In case the machine is already filled with oil.
Tilting a machine that is already filled with oil can cause large quantities of oil to in-
gress into the cylinder. Starting the machine with excessive quantities of oil in the
cylinder will immediately break the vanes and ruin the machine!
• Drain the oil prior to every transport or always horizontally transport the machine.

• Make sure that the environment of the machine is not potentially explosive.
• Make sure that the ambient conditions comply with the Technical Data [► 22].
• Make sure that the environmental conditions comply with the protection class of the
motor and the electrical instruments.
• Make sure that the installation space or location is vented such that sufficient cooling
of the machine is provided.
• Make sure that cooling air inlets and outlets are not covered or obstructed and that
the cooling air flow is not affected adversely in any other way.
• Make sure that the oil sight glass (OSG) remains easily visible.
• Make sure that enough space remains for maintenance work.
• Make sure that the machine is placed or mounted horizontally, a maximum of 1° in
any direction is acceptable.
• Check the oil level, see Oil Level Inspection [► 15].
• Make sure that all provided covers, guards, hoods, etc. are mounted.
If the machine is installed at an altitude greater than 1000 meters above sea level:
• Contact your Busch representative, the motor should be derated or the ambient
temperature limited.

NOTICE
Ingress of foreign objects or liquids.
Risk of damage to the machine!
If the inlet gas contains dust or other foreign solid particles:
• Install a suitable filter (5 micron or less) upstream from the machine.
Connection size(s):
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
CAUTION
The discharge gas contains small quantities of oil.
Risk to health!
If air is discharged into rooms where persons are present:
• Make sure that sufficient ventilation is provided.
Connection size(s):
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
• Make sure that the discharged gas will flow without obstruction. Do not shut off or
throttle the discharge line or use it as a pressurised air source.
Unless the aspirated air is discharged to the environment right at the machine:
• Make sure that the discharge line either slopes away from the machine or provide a li-
quid separator or a siphon with a drain cock, so that no liquids can flow back into the
machine.

• Make sure that the power supply for the motor is compatible with the data on the
nameplate of the motor.
• The electrical installation must comply with applicable national and international
standards.
• Provide a lockable disconnect switch on the power line so that the machine is com-
pletely secured during maintenance tasks.
• Provide an overload protection according to EN 60204-1 for the motor.
• Busch recommends installing a D-curve circuit breaker.
• Make sure that the motor of the machine will not be affected by electric or electro-
magnetic disturbance from the mains; if necessary seek advice from Busch.
• Connect the protective earth conductor.
• Electrically connect the motor.

NOTICE
Incorrect direction of rotation.
Risk of damage to the machine!
• Operation in the wrong direction of rotation can destroy the machine in a short time!
Prior to start-up, ensure that the machine is operated in the right direction.
• Determine the intended direction of rotation with the arrow (stuck on or cast).
• Jog the motor briefly.
• Watch the fan wheel of the motor and determine the direction of rotation just before
the fan wheel stops.
If the rotation of the motor must be changed:
• Switch any two of the motor phase wires.
