Transport
The COBRA BC vacuum pumps are tested and checked in our factory
before careful packing. Check the packaging for transport damage
when the goods arrive. The pump can withstand temperatures
between -25°C and +55°C during transport.
Transport in packed state
Packed on a pallet, the vacuum pump can be moved with a hand
forklift truck.
Transport in unpacked state
CAUTION
Do not work, walk or stand under suspended loads.
CAUTION
Please check out the weight of the vacuum pump before lifting it up
(see "Technical Data").
Use adequate lifting gear for this.
NOTE : The suspension eyes are located at about the centre-of-gravity
of the vacuum pump. If the vacuum pump is equipped with accessories
that could influence the centre-of-gravity, this must be taken into ac-
count when lifting and a belt must additionally be attached to a
specific point.
l Fasten the hoist to the suspension eye on the cylinder
l
Use a hoist that is equipped with a hook and safety lock
l Lift the vacuum pump
CAUTION
The vacuum pump may not be lifted anymore when it has been fil-
led with oil.
Moving of the vacuum pump is simple using the four wheels placed
under the vacuum pump frame.
Make sure before every transport that the oil has been drained out of
the vacuum pump.
The packaging material must be disposed of in accordance with local
and national regulations.
This handbook is contained in the delivery package.
Storage
Temporary storage
l Make sure that the intake and exhaust flanges are closed (put on
the protective caps included in the delivery package of the vacuum
pump)
l Store the vacuum pump
–
if possible, the vacuum pump should be stored in its original
packaging,
–
indoors,
–
dry,
–
in a dust-free and
–
vibration-free room
Removal of the pump
Before starting a vacuum pump that has been stored outside the buil-
ding for a while, the vacuum pump must be moved to a room with
ambient temperature, where it should rest for a day.
Preservation
If the vacuum pump will be exposed to unfavourable ambient condi-
tions (for example, aggressive environment, frequent temperature
changes), begin immediately with preservation work on the vacuum
pump.
In the case of favourable ambient conditions, perform preservation
work on the vacuum pump if a storage period of more than three
months is planned.
l Make sure that all openings are hermetically sealed; use adhesive
tape to fasten loose parts (seal rings, flat seals, etc.).
NOTE : VCI is the abbreviation for “volatile corrosion inhibitor”. The
VCI molecule is an organic corrosion inhibitor in the vapour phase.
Integrated in various carriers such as film, cardboard, paper, foam, li-
quid and powder, it protects the parts against corrosion as a result of
its action in the vapour phase. However, VCI packaging can attack syn-
thetic surfaces and surfaces of other elastomers. If in doubt, please
contact your nearest distributor. VCI packaging provides several years
of protection against corrosion, even under the harshest of conditions:
overseas shipment, extended storage before use.
l Wrap the vacuum pump in a VCI film
l
Store the vacuum pump
–
if possible, the vacuum pump should be stored in its original
packaging,
–
indoors,
–
dry,
–
in a dust-free and
–
vibration-free room
Start-up of the vacuum pump after storage:
l Make sure that all protective elements, stoppers or adhesive tapes
attached before preservation have been removed
l Switch on the vacuum pump in the sequence described in the
chapter “Installation and start-up”
