Receiving
Upon receipt, immediately inspect the vacuum pump for
any 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
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 name plate to be sure the
vacuum pump is the model and size ordered, and that
motor voltage is correct plus optionally ordered items
are included.
Check the receiver and safety relief valves to be sure
they are adequate for the pressure at which you intend
to operate.
Moving the Unit to the Installation Site
Fork lift slots are provided. When a forklift is used to
move the unit to its instaHation site, be sure that the
weight of the unit is well distributed on the forks. Use
of chains and slings should be limited to the main
frame. Do not attempt to lift the unit by attaching to
any components.
!CAUTION!
Improper lifting can result in component or
system damage or personal injury. Follow good shop
practices and safety procedures when moving
the unit.
Location
Locate the vacuum pump on a level surface that is
clean, well lighted and well ventilated. Suftlcient
space
(four feet of clearance on all sides and top of the
vacuum pump)
for safe and proper daily inspection
and maintenance must be provided.
The frame base
must support its entire length. Shim where necessary,
do not use wood or lumber.
Ambient temperature should not exceed temperatures
listed on the QSVI Specifications. (Failure to heed this
may result in a high air temperature shutdown.) All
models are intended for indoor installation.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from
other pumps, compressors, or heat generating
equipment may be drawn into the unit. Never restrict
the flow of exhaust air from the fluid cooler. The
heated exhaust air must be vented to the outside to
prevent high ambient conditions in the room. If the
room is not properly ventilated, the vacuum pump
operating temperature will increase and cause the high
temperature switch to activate.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing the vacuum pump
in a basement or other unventilated location. Control
vacuum pump temperature and monitor vacuum pump
fluid for signs of water contamination. Fluid filter
changes may need to be increased in areas of high
humidity or saturated applications.
~~()~~c’!
Removal or modification of sound insulation wil~
result in higher sound levels which may be
hazardous to personnel.
The Quincy QSVI models are essentially vibration free,
however, some customers may choose to bolt the unit to
the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or
electrical connections, if it were ever bumped. Use lag
bolts to only locate the unit, do not pull the bolts down
tight since this, under some circumstances, may place
the frame in a twist or bind causing eventual breakage
of fluid coders, piping, receiver tanks, etc.
