3.1 Unpack and inspect
Take care when you unpack the pump to avoid excessive shocks which could damage the bearings and
reduce the life of the pump. The pump is supplied with the inlet and outlet sealed to prevent entry of
dust and vapour. Do not remove these seals until you are ready to install the pump on your vacuum
system.
Open the top of the packaging by disengaging the cardboard tabs and then opening the lid. Remove the
top piece of locating foam and any ancillaries included within the box. You should now be able to remove
the pump from the packaging by lifting the pump vertically from the packaging. If the pump is damaged,
notify your supplier and the carrier in writing within three days; state the Item Number of the pump
together with your order number and your supplier’s invoice number. Retain all packing materials for
inspection. Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
Check that your package contains the items listed in Table 5. If any of these items is missing, notify your
supplier in writing within three days.
If the pump is not to be used immediately, store the pump in suitable conditions as described in
Section 6.1.
It is advised to retain all packing materials for use should you return the pump for service.
WARNING
The pump weighs approximately 9 kg (20 lbs). Appropriate care should be taken when
lifting and moving the pump to avoid injury.
