Section IV - Installation
Safety
CAUTION!
Apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.
Outdoor/altitude operation
The vacuum pumps are designed according to IP2X classification. The electrical cabinet
and motor are designed according to IP54 classification. If the unit is installed outdoors,
special precautions must be taken; consult Quincy.
The vacuum pumps can only be used in temperatures above 0 °C (+32 °F). If frost might
occur, the appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and
its ancillary equipment. In this case, consult Quincy.
Also, if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Quincy.
Moving/lifting
The vacuum pumps can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care
not to damage the bodywork during lifting or transport.
Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude
from the other side of the frame. The vacuum pumps can also be lifted after inserting
beams in the slots.
Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally.
The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to
damage the Vacuum pump. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the
vacuum pump is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
