MANUFACTURER DECLARATION MOD..............................SERIAL NUMBER ......................YEAR ............................... The pump should not be operated until verification can be provided that the installation conforms to directive 2006/42/CE and any current revisions. Always be sure that the installation of the pump conforms to all applicable installation and operational requirements pertaining to the country and region for which its use is intended.
WORkING PRINCIPLE This is a three lobe positive displacement pump and can work as an exhauster and a blower. The gas enters the pump through the suction port at a certain pressure and temperature. It goes out through the exhaust port at another pressure and temperature.
Owners, operators and installers must adhere to all instructions provided in this manual. FRUITLAND will not be responsable for damages due to the use of spare parts which are not original parts supplied by or approved by FRUITLAND.
Only qualified and trained personnel who are familiar with the FRUITLAND products should work on, repair or operate the pump. Original parts supplied by or approved by FRUITLAND must only be used for repair and main-tenance. Failure to comply with the instructions provided in this manual, may lead to the following dangers: - Increased temperature rise beyond the safe operating temperature of the pump and as a burning hazard.
PIPING TO AND FROM THE PUMP Using a thick walled pipe reduces the ambient noise effect. Clean the inside of the pipes prior to installation to prevent foreign debris from getting inside the pump and causing damage. Don’t create short radius curves. Pipes should be seperately supported, not by the pump.
PRESSURE MODE Set the adjustment starting for the lower preload and increase it by tightening the regulation nuts up to the desired pressure. COUPLING ALIGNMENT Correct alignment of the pump coupling is absolutely necessary. - Measure the alignment with proper instrumentation - Keep the correct distance between the two coupling faces (see supplier instructions)
V-BELT DRIVE TENSIONING h (mm) = t/100 x 1,5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRUCk INSTALLATION OF FB VACUUM PUMPS BASE FRAME Please follow these instructions when you install the pump on a truck chassis: First mode The pump has to be installed on a steel frame with machined base to ensure the flatness with the pump base.

( use clogged filter gauge ). Different filtration systems are used depending on the material being moved. Be sure to contact FRUITLAND for the correct filter application.

DRIVES The pump is designed to be suitable for all types of drives.. The pump speed should not exceed 3.400 RPM. Couplings and shafts must be perfectly aligned. Always use the proper tools and equipment to install the coupling or sheaves so as not to damage them. Use the correct V-belts designed for the application.

STARTING ROTATION AND AIRFLOW DIRECTION The rotation is usually CCR (counter clock-wise rotation) and the flow is as shown below For CR (clock-wise rotation) please specify upon placing an order. Warning! Do not install the pump inclined because this will change the correct oil level in the sumps.

STARTING Check the transmission alignment and belt tension Check that the pump shaft rotates by hand and in the correct direction Check that the pump is secure and installed correctly Check that the inside of the pipes have been well cleaned Check that all the pipe connections have been tightened and sealed Check the relief valve set up Open all the pipe valves...
Before the pump is stopped, run it for a few minutes without pressure or vacuum inside and with valves opened; in this way no humidity condensation will remain inside. With cold temperature this condensation could create ice and problems when the pump is re-started. a small valve (3/8”) may be added to the bottom of the pump to discharge possible condensation.
