Installation
BEFORE COMMENCING ANY WORK, READ THIS INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY!
Design limitations and technical data for each pump are found in the
Product description.
Installation of an IMO AB ACE pump does not require special skills. However, these instructions presume that the work is carried out by
experienced fitters.
1
Failure to comply with these instrutions
may cause damage and personal injury!
2
The installation must always be designed
to minimise damage, should an
operational or functional failure occur.
E.g. precautions should be considered to
collect oil spillage due to a broken pipe or
pump housing, to stop pump operation if
overheating should occur or if the oil vol
ume is below a minimum tank level
Fig 1 Clean and dry environment
Fig 2 Lifting of pump
3
When fitting the shaft coupling, do not use a
hammer or similar as this may damage the
ball bearing and shaft seal.
Use some kind of press tool.
4
When handling liquids that may harm skin
use gloves and/or protective clothing.
5
When handling liquids which may involve
fire hazards appropriate precautions to
avoid danger are to be taken.
Transport and storage
Always protect the pump against ingress of water
and other impurities. Store the pump in a clean, dry
and warm environment. The pump is delivered with
the internals oiled and with protective covers over the
pipe connections and drain openings. These covers
should remain in place for as long as possible during
the mounting and installation procedure but must be
removed before start up.
6
All work carried out on the pump has to be
performed in such a manner that risks for
personal injury are minimized!
Lifting of pump
7
The pump should be lifted with straps se
curely attached to the pump or pump unit,
so that the center of gravity is located
between the straps in order to avoid
tipping of the pump.
Lifting of the complete pump unit with the lifting device
attached to the motor, should be avoided as the motor's
lifting provisions may not be able to carry the combined
weight of the pump and motor.
8
Lifting a complete pump unit, using
slings or hooks attached to the pump or
connecting frame may be dangerous since
the centre of gravity of the pump unit may
be higher than the points of attachments.
