Locate The Dry Pumping System - Edwards iXH100 Instruction Manual

Locate the dry pumping system

You must use suitable lifting equipment to move the system. It is too heavy to lift by hand.
Do not exceed the topple angle of 10 ° when moving the pump. Wheel the system on its castors to
move it into its operating position. The system should only be wheeled short distances over flat
surfaces. If the floor surface is uneven or has obstacles the system should be lifted with suitable
lifting equipment. If lifting the system is impractical, or there are other site difficulties, please
consult Edwards for further advice.
Ensure that the maximum angle between paired slings used to lift the system is 45°.
Use the following procedure to locate the system in its operating position. The system must be located on a firm,
level surface, to ensure that it works correctly and the system is not damaged. The pump must be level to a maximum
of 3 degrees in any direction, measured at the pump inlet.
It is important to note that the castors are intended only to aid manoeuvre of the system into its final operating
position. The force required to push a pump on its castors varies greatly depending on the surface finish and
cleanliness of the floor and any slopes or inclines. It is the user's responsibility to carry out a risk assessment of their
own location and take appropriate measures to ensure that the system is manoeuvred safely and in accordance with
local and national manual handling guidelines.
1. Use suitable lifting equipment attached to all four lifting eyebolts to move the system close to its final operating
position.
Note: The iXH100, iXH200H and iXH 610 variants have only two eyebolts provided for lifting.
2. Adjust the levelling feet
castors, suggested jacking height is 5 mm.
3. Remove the lifting eyebolts and replace with the lifting eyebolt hole plugs supplied with the systems.
4. Ensure that access is possible to the emergency stop button (refer to

If you want to secure the system in place to prevent inadvertent movement (for example, during an earthquake),
take note of the following:
The seismic brackets

The system can be secured to the floor by fitting suitable bolts or studs (not supplied) through the 17.5 mm

diameter hole in the seismic brackets.
If vibration transmission to the floor is a concern, suitable vibration isolators (not supplied) should be fitted

between the seismic brackets and the bolt or stud.
Ensure that the bolt spacing is adequate for the floor strength and loads anticipated.
