1.0 Introduction
1.1 General
This instruction manual contains necessary information on the TopGear pumps and must be read
carefully before installation, service and maintenance. The manual must be kept easily accessible to
the operator.
Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without
consulting your local supplier.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit, with a risk of personal injury.
1.2 Reception, handling and storage
1.2.1 Reception
Remove all packing materials immediately after delivery. Check the consignment for damage
immediately on arrival and make sure that the name plate/type designation is in accordance with the
packing slip and your order.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report
should be drawn up and presented to
the carrier at once. Notify your local supplier.
All pumps have the serial number stamped
on a nameplate.
This number should be stated in all correspondence
with your local supplier.
The first digits of the serial number indicate
the year of production.
1.2.2 Handling
Check the mass (weight) of the pump unit. All parts weighing more than 20 kg must be lifted using
lifting slings and suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or industrial truck. See section 6.6
Weights – Mass.
1.2.3 Storage
If the pump is not commissioned immediately, the shaft should be turned a full turn once every week.
This ensures a proper distribution of the conservating oil.
Never lift the pump unit with only two fastening
points. Incorrect lift can cause personal injury
and/or damage to the pump unit.
Always use two or more lifting slings. Make sure
they are secured in such a way as to prevent
them from slipping. The pump unit should be in a
straight fashion.
