NOTE
Illustrations
In this instruction manual the illustrations may differ from the machine appearance.

2.1 Operating Principle

The machine works on the Booster blower principle.

The two oil housings (on each side) allow the lubrication of the gears and bearings.
A bypass valve (BPV) limits automatically the differential pressure between inlet and outlet.

2.2 Intended Use

WARNING
In case of foreseeable misuse outside the intended use of the machine.
Risk of injuries!
Risk of damages to the machine!
Risk of damages to the environment!
● Make sure to follow all instructions described in this manual.

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 used in combination with a backing pump in vacuum system.
The machine is suitable for continuous operation.
Permitted environmental conditions, see Technical Data [➔ 30].
