1
Use a fork truck to carefully move the pump into its operating location.
2
Use care in orienting the pump for easy access to its pump starter and clearance
for the opening of its lid and allowing easy visibility of its vacuum gauge.
3
Note the inlet and outlet of the pump. Generally, the outlet will simply exhaust
conveying air out of the muffler, but it may also be plumbed outside if desired, as
long as the exhaust line expands the size of the tube as it follows its path to
exhaust. The inlet stub will be connected to the dust collector or cyclone of the
system.
4
The use of flex hose for pump connections is recommended, to allow easy
movement or service, if needed. Line up and coordinate all connections to allow
for easy connections, but wait until pump rotation has been established (and cor-
rected, if need be) before completing installation.
5
Connect the dust collector or cyclone vacuum outlet to the pump inlet.
6
Tighten all coupling bolts evenly. Tubing must not put a strain on the inlet or
outlet of the pump connections or eventual leaks will occur.
7
Maintain an air space all around the pump for ventilation. Do not block or
cover any portion of the cooling fins that would prevent free air movement or
reduce cooling effectiveness.
8
Connect power. Refer to the accompanying wiring diagram for connection of the
main power supply and the conveying control circuit. IMPORTANT: You must
provide a wall-mounted disconnect for three-phase electrical connection.
Incoming voltage and current must match the electrical specifications on the
pump data plate and serial tag.

WARNING: This equipment
should be installed, adjusted,
and serviced by qualified tech-
nical personnel who are famil-
iar with the construction, oper-
ation and potential hazards of
this type of machine. All wiring,
disconnects and fuses should
be installed by qualified electri-
cal technicians in accordance
with electrical codes in your
region. Always maintain a safe
ground. Do not operate the
equipment at power levels
other than what is specified on
the the machine serial tag and
data plate.
INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION NOTE: The
pump inlet is equipped
with a vacuum relief valve
to prevent the vacuum
from exceeding 12 in. Hg.
Excessive vacuum will
reduce the life of the
pump and can destroy it.
For special applications
requiring a higher vacuum
level or installation above
1500 ft elevation, consult
Conair service.
