1.0 Introduction
1.1 General
The range of TopLobe rotary lobe pumps are manufactured by SPX Process Equipment,
Sweden, and are sold and marketed by a network of authorized distributors.
This instruction manual contains necessary information of the TopLobe pumps and must
be read carefully before installation, service and maintenance. The manual must be kept
easily accessible by the operator.
Important!
If it is proposed to modify the system/duty or to use the pump for transporting liquids
with other characteristics than for which the pump was originally selected always consult
your distributor.
For additional information regarding the TopLobe pumps, please contact your local
distributor.
1.2 Receipt, storage and handling
1.2.1 Receipt, storage
Check the consignement for damage immediately
on arrival. In case of damage, clearly mark upon
the carrier’s paperwork (with a brief description
of the damage) that the goods have been received
in a damaged condition. Notify your local
distributor.
Always state the pump model and serial number
when asking for assistance. This information can
be obtained from the pump name plate which is
located on the pump gearbox (see section 1.5).
Should the nameplate be unreadable or missing, the serial number is also stamped on the
gearbox and the rotor case (see section 1.5).
If the pump is not installed immediately, it must be stored in a suitable environment.
1.2.2 Handling
Caution must be taken when lifting the pump. All parts with a weight of more than 20 kg
must be lifted using lifting slings and suitable lifting devices.
Lifting eye fitted to pump must only be used to lift the pump, not the pump with drive
and/or baseplate.
If the pump is baseplate mounted, the baseplate must be used for all lifting purposes.
When using slings, they must be safely and securely attached. (1.3 Safety instructions)
