3 Installation
3.1 Unpack and inspect
The pump is packed to prevent damage in transit. Take care when unpacking 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 the
vacuum system.
Remove all packing materials and check the pump. 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 the package contains the items listed in Table 3 . 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 .
Do not discard the packing materials; retain them to repack the pump when you return it for service.
