Installation
You must be able to purge the pumping system with an inert gas when you shut down the pumping system, to
dilute dangerous gases to safe concentrations. Contact Edwards or your supplier if you are in doubt.
If the booster pump is to be fitted in a new system, ensure that all preliminary pipelines have been installed and that
a suitable base for the booster pump has been prepared before you start installation.
Ensure that the following services and facilities are available for connection to the booster pump:
Electrical Supply.
Backing pump.
Inlet screen (if required, to prevent debris from entering the pump during commissioning).
3.3 Unpack and inspect
Remove all packing materials, remove the booster pump from its packing box, remove the protective covers from
the inlet and exhaust ports, and inspect the pump.
If the booster pump is damaged, notify the supplier and your carrier in writing within three days; state the Item
Number of the pump together with the order number and supplier's invoice number. Retain all packing materials for
inspection. Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the booster pump is not to be used immediately, refit the protective covers. Store the pump in suitable conditions
as described in Section 6 of this manual.
3.4 Move the booster pump to its operating location
Use a fork-lift truck to move the booster pump (attached to the shipping crate) to the installation location. Lift the
booster pump with the forks well outward of the centre of mass, to prevent the booster pump tipping over when you
move it.
When the booster pump has been unpacked and disconnected from its shipping crate, lift the pump; refer to Figure
12 and use one of the following two methods:
1. To use lifting-bolts and chains (see details A and B):
Fit two 3/4-10 lifting bolts (1, not supplied) to the pump.
On a booster pump with a motor: fit a suitable size lifting bolt to the motor (if necessary).
Attach lifting chains to the lifting bolts (1, 2) and connect the chains to your lifting equipment.
2. To use slings (see detail C):
Attach slings (4) around the pump body.
Connect the slings to your lifting equipment.
You must use lifting equipment and chains/slings which are suitably rated for the mass of the pump.
Use caution when you move a booster pump with a direct drive motor attached; fix the pump in position immediately
after it has been located.
Refer to Tables 4 to 8 for the mass of the pump, and to Table 11 and Figure 12 for the centre of mass location.
