Transport in unpacked state
The vacuum pump is fastened to the pallet with fixing pins:
u
Unscrew the fastening nuts underneath the pallet.
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.
CAUTION
In the case of a vacuum pump filled with oil, you ensure that the
angle of inclination of the vacuum pump at the time of rise does not
exceed 5° compared to the horizontal. In the event of too important
slope (> 5°), risk of oil leakage in the workspace.
NOTE: The suspension eyes are located at about the center-of-gravity
of the vacuum pumps. If the vacuum pumps are equipped with acces-
sories that could influence the center-of-gravity, this must be taken
into account when lifting and a belt must additionally be attached to a
specific point.
Lifting for DP 0600 C
l
Fasten the hoist to the suspension eye(s) on the cylinder
l
Use a hoist that is equipped with a hook and safety lock
l
Lift the vacuum pump
If the vacuum pump is fastened to several pallets with fixing pins:
Unscrew the fixing pins in the base frame
Before each transport requiring a means of adapted lifting, control the
slope of the vacuum pump (< 5°).
The packaging material must be disposed of in accordance with local
and national regulations.
This handbook is contained in the delivery package.
For future transportation :
l
Seal all open connections with protective caps (to prevent
penetration of dirt and water)
l
Secure loose cables
l
Protect from shock
l
Drain all process and operating media
l
Secure vacuum system firmly before transporting (e.g. bolt to
several pallets)
l
Use a lift truck to move and set the vacuum system down
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”
