▪ If using the pump in a high ambient temperature with a high gas throughput, the

temperature of the pump-body may exceed 70 °C. We recommend the use of

addional guarding to prevent contact with hot surfaces under these condions.

▪ Make sure that the exhaust pipeline cannot become restricted. Maximum exhaust

pressure is shown in Table: General performance data. If an exhaust-isolaon valve

is ed, ensure the pump cannot be operated the pump with the valve closed.

▪ Provide for a purge of inert gas when shung down the pumping system, to dilute

dangerous gases to safe concentraons. A suitable gas ballast adaptor for

introducon of purge gas into the pump is available as an accessory (see Gas-

ballast adaptor on page 53). Contact our Applicaon team for further advice on

diluon requirements if required.

4.3 Unpack and inspect

WARNING:

The mass of the RV8 and RV12 pumps is approximately 29 kg.

For the RV8 and RV12 pumps aach the mechanical liing equipment to the liing

bracket on the pump. Slings do not need to be used to move the RV8 and RV12

pumps.

1. Remove all packing materials and remove the pump from its packing-box.

2. Remove the protecve covers from the inlet and outlet-ports and inspect the

pump. If the pump is damaged, nofy the supplier and the carrier in wring within

three days, state the Item Number of the pump together with the order number

and the supplier’s invoice number. Retain all the packing materials for inspecon.

Do not use the pump if it is damaged.

If the pump is not to be used immediately, replace the protecve covers. Store the pump

in the condions, described in Storage on page 49. Refer to Disposal on page 49 for

disposal of materials.

4.4 Locate the pump

The RV3 and RV5 pumps have a liing handle enabling the pump to be moved by hand.

If using mechanical liing equipment, do not aach the equipment to the handle; for

stability, use slings around the motor and the pump-body.

Provide a rm, level plaorm for the pump. Locate the pump so that the oil-level sight-

glass is visible and the oil ller-plug, oil drain-plug, mode selector and gas-ballast control

are accessible.

If the pump will be located inside an enclosure, to ensure the ambient temperature

around the pump does not exceed 40 °C, adequate venlaon is required at both ends

of the pump. There must be a minimum space of 25 mm between the pump and the

enclosure walls.
