RG pumps are typically shipped bolted to a pallet and either enclosed by a box or
simply wrapped in protective plastic sheeting.
1
Carefully remove the box or wrap and unbolt the unit from the shipping
skid. When unpacking, be sure to locate any accessories or other loose parts
that may have been consolidated in the shipment along with the instruction
packet. Make sure that all packing material is completely removed from the
pump, paying special attention to the inlet and outlet tubes and crevice areas, to
prevent potential damage caused by the packing materials during the heat and
suction of operation.
2
Once the pump is unbolted from the pallet, a lifting hook, centrally located
on the top of the pump assembly may be used to lift the pump with a crane
or other lifting device. Use caution as the pump is transferred off the skid and
into the desired location for installation.

The pump should be located in a protected, indoor location, typically near the dust
collector or pump protection filter. 3 phase power will be required and a fused
disconnect switch (not included) is typically used near the pump. If the Idle Mode
Valve option is being utilized, then compressed air will also be required near the
pump. Tubing connections to the pump are typically made with a flex hose to
allow easy connections to be made between the dust collector and pump.
Securing the pump to the floor with bolts is not strictly required, but is recom-
mended to prevent the minimal motion that could occur as the pump ages or in the
event of malfunction caused by contamination of the air stream.
The pump will not require regular maintenance, but should still be located where it
is accessible and where its vacuum gauge is easily read by set-up and operation
personnel. In addition, the pump's magnetic starter (and optional Idle Mode
Control) is mounted to the unit and may need to be accessed for service on occa-
sions.
