French term or phrase: Changement de l’huile de la pompe à vide
1.1. Changement de l’huile de la pompe à vide

Chaque fois que le message "Changer huile de pompe" s’affiche au démarrage de l’équipement, l’huile de la pompe à vide doit être changée.


I just want to be sure that they are talking about a vacuum pump, and not about changing the pump's oil, à vide. Thank you.

Explanation:
Arrigo has of course got it right, I just wanted to add this alternative wording, which might work better as this is a section heading.
