Installation
3.1
Safety
A suitably trained and supervised technician must install the Connection Kit.
Ensure that the installation technician is familiar with the safety procedures which relate to the products
pumped. Wear the appropriate safety-clothing when you come into contact with contaminated components.
Dismantle and clean contaminated components inside a fume-cupboard.
If the GV pump has been in operation, vent and purge it, then switch it off and allow it to cool to a safe
temperature before you start installation.
Isolate the GV pump and other components in the process system from the electrical supply so that they
cannot be operated accidentally.
Recheck the direction of rotation of the GV pump if the electrical supply has been disconnected.
Do not reuse ‘O’ rings and Co-Seals.
Leak test the system after installation and seal any leaks found, to prevent the leakage of dangerous
substances from the system, and the leakage of air into the system.
Do not use the lifting bolts fitted to the EH mechanical booster pump to lift a GV-EH combination pumping
system.
When you refer to another instruction manual, ensure that you obey the WARNINGs and CAUTIONs in the
manual.
