Vacuum pumps of category "2/-G" are designed for transfer-
ring gases, vapors or mists for which it is to be expected that
an explosive atmosphere forms occasionally.
The devices are to be arranged so that they cannot be me-
chanically damaged from the outside.
No changes may be made to the pumps. After replacing a
wear part, the original function of the pump must be tested by
achieving the specified ultimate vacuum (see operating in-
structions, Chapter 11 Servicing [} 37]).
