To avoid personal injury or damage to the pump, lift the pump using a forklift or hoist
with straps that have been positioned under the pump's center of gravity.
Follow the conditions listed previously- and place the LDP pump into operating position.
Movement of the pump is best accommodated by a fork lift truck, with forks inserted below
the main frame of the pump. Carefully placed lifting straps are also suitable. Use of the
center lifting hook is NOT advised for lifting the entire LDP assembly.
For installation convenience, ease of service and to assure no mechanical pressure is applied
to the pump inlet, use a length of flexible hose for connection between the LDP vacuum
inlet and the central dust collector or tubing.
The diameter of the inlet line/tubing/hose must match the
specifications provided by Conair at the time of sale. In
some cases, the vacuum line size may be larger and/or of a
different construction (IE: aluminum) than the tubing pro-
vided for conveying material.
Common inlet line sizes, per model are:
Pump Model: LDP Pump Inlet Diameter:*
LDP-5 1.5" {38.1mm} or 2.0" {50.8}
LDP-7.5 2.25" {57.1 mm} or 2.5" {63.5 mm}
LDP-10 2.5" {63.5 mm} or 3.0" {76.2 mm}
LDP-15 3.0" {76.2}
LDP-30 4.0 {101.6}
*Vacuum lines to receivers are occasionally upsized to minimize frictional vacuum loss on long vacu-
um line systems.
