SECTION III
INSTALLATION
1. Receiving
Upon receipt of the vacuum pump, immediately inspect the vacuum pump for any visible damage which may have
occurred in shipment. If visible damage is found at the time of delivery, be sure a notation is made on the freight
bill by the delivering carrier and request a damage report. If the shipment is accepted and it is later found that the
vacuum pump unit has been damaged, this is classified as concealed damage. If concealed damage is found, report it
within 15 days of delivery to the delivering carrier, who must prepare a damage report. Itemized supporting papers
are essential to filing a claim.
Read the vacuum pump nameplate to be sure the vacuum pump is the model and size ordered and that optionally
ordered items are included.
2. Moving the Unit to the Installation Site
When a forklift is used to move the unit to it's installation site, use forklift slots provided on the side of the main
frame. Use of chains and slings should be limited to the main frame. Do not attempt to lift the unit by attachment to
any components.
NOTE:
See technical data for detailed technical information and dimensions.
! CAUTION
Improper lifting may result in component system damage or personal injury. Follow
good shop practices and safety procedures when moving the unit.
3. Location
Locate the vacuum pump on a level surface that is clean, well lit and well ventilated. Allow sufficient space (four
feet of clearance on all sides and top of the vacuum pump) for safe and proper daily inspection and maintenance.
The entire length of the frame base must be supported. Shim where necessary but do not use wood.
Ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F. (Failure to heed this may result in a high air temperature shutdown.)
Careful consideration of room size and shape must be done so that hot exhaust air from the cooling fan does not
recirculate within the room, causing the operating temperatures to rise. High temperature shutdown may result. All
models are intended for indoor installation; however, it is possible, with certain modifications, to accommodate some
outdoor locations. Cabinet models are water-resistant but not watertight. Sheltering from rain, snow and freezing
temperatures is mandatory.
