Positioning the pump
in the pumping installation
• Pump performance will depend on the kinds of
accessories used and the quality of the mechanical
connections such as pump fittings.
• As these pumps are typically used in a corrosive
atmosphere, their reliability will depend on proper installation
and maintenance. When assembling the vacuum circuit, make
sure to provide necessary maintenance accessories such as
shut-off valves on the inlet, exhaust, and purge lines.
• For safety reasons, use accessories on the inlet
and exhaust lines whose materials and sealing properties
are compatible with the gases being used.
Determine where the pump will be placed. Refer to the technical
specifications section for dimensions, if needed (section A).
Use a hoist to handle the pump, lifting it by the three hoisting
rings.
The pump must be operated in the horizontal position,
with the pumping axis vertical and the inlet opening
upwards.
Each pump is equipped with
a locking screw jack on each
corner.
Lock the pump by adjusting
these jacks so that all four feet
are resting solidly on the floor.
