CHECKING UPON RECEIPT
• When the goods are delivered, make sure that all parts listed on the delivery note are in perfect
condition and have suffered no damage during shipping.
• Make sure the vacuum pump has its identification plate affixed on the front cover. Pumps without such
identification are to be considered anonymous and potentially dangerous: in such an event, they mu
st
not be used, otherwise the manufacturer will be deemed free from any liability whatsoever.
MOUNTING
• The pump must be assembled for an easy access for maintenance operations and secured rigidly
to a
frame or levelled base (max. 5° slant to the horizontal plane). The base must be such as to avoid
vibrations, bending or deformation.
• The oil tank is mounted on the suction side of the unit. Thus, the rotation direction determines the pump
overall dimensions. See par. “Dimensions”.
• Make sure there is enough room around the pump for the air for the cooling system to freely circulate and
avoid exposure to dirt and debris.
Prepare enough room for an easy access to:
1. Vanes wear check port
2. Oilers
3.
Oil tank level
4. Oil tank inlet plug
5. Oil tank outlet plug
6. Self-lubricating pump
7. Gear box oil level
8. Gear box oil outlet plug
9. Gear box oil inlet plug
10. 4-way valve handle
2 VACUUM – PRESSURE LINE
• In orde
r to avoid accidental
suction of liquids inside the pump, install a primary (pos. 1)
and a secondary flow shutoffs (pos. 2). If necessary, install also a suction filter (pos. 3) to protect
from solids infiltration.
• The exhaust silencer is designed to reduce the noise level and to separate the oil mist coming out
from the pump outlet port. The separator must be periodically drained from oil and condensate
accumulated in the separator during the normal pump functioning.
• The diameter of the vacuum/pressure line pipes must be properly dimensioned to the pump fl
ow
and, in any case, larger than the diameter of the ports (Ø100 is recommended).
• The pipes weight must not solicit the body of the pump. Use high temperature resistant rubb
er
connections.
• Before mounting the vacuum line to the pump, remove the port protections. Pipes and all line
components must be clean.
• Avoid restrictions and tight curves as much as possible if not strictly necessary.
• Exhaust pipes can reach high temperatures. Hence, they must be properly isolat
ed.
