INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS
on your purchase of a new KINNEY
®
Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumping System from Tuthill
Vacuum & Blower Systems. Please examine the system for shipping damage, and if any damage is found, report it
immediately to the carrier. If the pump is to be installed at a later date make sure it is stored in a clean, dry location
and rotated regularly. Make sure covers are kept on all openings. If the system is stored outdoors be sure to protect
it from weather and corrosion.
KINNEY vacuum pumps and systems are built to exacting standards and if properly installed and maintained will
provide many years of reliable service. We urge you to take time to read and follow every step of these instructions
when installing and maintaining your pump. We have tried to make these instructions as straightforward as possible.
We realize getting any new piece of equipment up and running in as little time as possible is imperative to
production.
Additional manuals may ship with your KINNEY Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumping System that provide detailed
operation and maintenance instructions for the KINNEY KLRC™ Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump, electric motor, heat
exchanger, instrumentation and control devices or other accessories shipped with your system. We urge you to read
and understand all operation and maintenance instructions prior to starting the equipment.
