INITIAL FREIGHT RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Before a system ships from DEKKER, it is thoroughly tested, and will not be released unless it passes our
Quality Control standards. Once the system is received and signed for in Good Condition, DEKKER cannot
be held accountable for undiscovered, unclaimed damage that is a result of freight transit. It is the
responsibility of the receiver to thoroughly inspect and test the system for functionality upon delivery. The
customer should take photos of the system as it arrives and send to DEKKER if there are any issues. Failure
to report these issues within the freight carriers’ undiscovered damage window can result in non-
acceptance of warranty claims. DEKKER does keep photos of all systems, as shipped, to assist in freight
claims. Report any damage immediately to AfterSales_Support@DEKKERvacuum.com
Key items to check:
 Is system received as requested? Are all parts, accessories, and components delivered?
 Check the skid and crating for cosmetic damage. Was the skid or crating received in good condition?
 Is there any cosmetic damage to the vacuum system or control panel?
 Wiring inside of control panel. All wires should be terminated and connections tight.
 Control panel components should be tight on DIN rail or other mounts/fasteners.
 Are there any leaks or puddles around the pump? Specify hose, piping or housing leak.
System must be given an initial startup test as soon as possible after delivery. This is to check and make sure
that the pump has not shifted out of alignment during transit as well as to verify that electrical components
are functioning without fault (VFD, DEKKER Controller, PLC’s, panel cooling fans, transducers)
INSTALLATION
The design of the piping system, foundation layout and plant location are the responsibility of the purchaser.
DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. and its representatives may offer advice but cannot assume
responsibility for operation and installation design.
Please consult an authorized dealer or a specialist skilled in the design of plant layout, system piping design
and foundation design. The installer should carefully read this manual before installing the equipment.
DEKKER or your local dealer can provide start up assistance in most instances at reasonable cost.
Unpacking
Upon receipt of pump or system, immediately inspect for signs of damage. Carefully remove
packing or crating from around pump or system. Be sure to keep equipment in upright position.
Lifting
Lift the equipment carefully and with weight evenly distributed. DEKKER is not responsible for equipment
that has been damaged through mishandling or dropping. Use of DEKKER provided lifting points will ensure
proper handling.
Location
Install the unit in a well ventilated and dust free area. The pump or system should be a minimum distance of
3 feet from surrounding walls to allow for checking fluid level, temperatures, pressures and general
servicing.
Mounting
The pump or system must be installed on a level surface in a horizontal position. The foundation must be
designed to support the total unit weight, without any settlement or crushing, be rigid and substantial
enough to absorb any equipment vibration, maintain true alignment with any drive mechanism, and must
permanently support the system baseplate at all points. The vacuum system must be leveled and secured
with foundation bolts. Foundation bolts must be of adequate size to withstand the mechanical stresses
exerted on it.
