Installation of ACP Series pumps
Unpacking
When you receive the equipment, unpack it carefully; do not discard the
packaging until you have ensured that the pump has not been damaged
during transport. Otherwise, take the necessary measures with the
transporting company and, if necessary, notify the manufacturer.
For all handling
of the
equipment, it is highly recommended to use
a
lifting device. Use the hoisting rings delivered with the pump by
I screwing them in the threated holes located on the top side of the
pump.

If necessary the hoisting rings can be removed from the housing.
Equipment storage
Storage of new pumps as well as used:
If the pump is to be stored, we guarantee the reliability of our equipment
without particular storage precautions for up to 3 months (storage
temperature between 14°F (-10°C) and 140°F (60°C) and pump sealed).
For storage period of over 3 months we recommend to run the pump:
- approximately 30 minutes with gas ballast opened or with a dry air flow
(case of G model),
- and 30 minutes at ultimate pressure (inlet, gas ballast and gas line ports
blocked).
Then, stop the pump and store it with the inlet, the exhaust, the gas port
orifices blocked: clamping ring, centering ring blank off flange....
Warning : It is recommended to repeat these above instructions every three
months because factors such as temperature, degree of humidity, salt air....
may cause the deterioration of the pump components.
For a storage period of over 1 year, it is recommended to make a pump
overhaul to replace among other, the seals, the ball bearings (new pump as
well as used).
For this contact your local service center (address of the main contacts at
the rear of the manual).
