Receiving
Upon receipt, immediately inspect the vacuum pump for
any damage which may have occurred in shipment. If
visible damage is found at the time of delivery, be sure a
notation is made on the freight bill by the delivering carrier
and request a damage report. If the shipment is accepted
and it is later found that the vacuum pump has been
damaged, this is classified as concealed damage. If
concealed damage is found, report it within 15 days of
delivery to the delivering carrier, who must prepare a
damage report. Itemized supporting papers are essential
to filing a claim.
Read the vacuum pump nameplate to be sure the vacuum
pump is the model and size ordered and that optionally
ordered items are included.
Moving the Unit to the Installation Site
When a forklift is used to move the unit to it's installation
site, use forklift slots provided on the side of the main
frame. Use of chains and slings should be limited to the
main frame. Do not attempt to lift the unit by attachment
to any components.
! CAUTION !
Improper lifting may result in component system
damage or personal injury. Follow good shop
practices and safety procedures when moving the
unit.
Location
Locate the vacuum pump on a level surface that is clean,
well lit and well ventilated. Allow sufficient space (four
feet of clearance on all sides and top of the vacuum pump)
for safe and proper daily inspection and maintenance. The
entire length of the frame base must be supported. Shim
where necessary but do not use wood.
Ambient temperature should not exceed temperatures
listed on the QSVI specifications. (Failure to heed this
may result in a high air temperature shutdown.) All
models are intended for indoor installation.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from other
vacuum pumps or heat generating equipment may be
drawn into the unit. Never restrict the flow of exhaust air
from the fluid cooler. The heated exhaust air must be
exhausted to the outside to prevent high ambient
conditions in the room. If the room is not properly
ventilated, the vacuum pump operating temperatures will
increase and cause the high temperature switch to
activate.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing the vacuum pump in
a basement or other damp locations. Control the vacuum
pump temperatures and monitor vacuum pump fluid for
signs of water contamination. Fluid and filter changes
may need to be increased in high humidity areas.
Increased operating temperatures may be required.
! NOTICE !
Removal or modification of sound insulation will
result in high sound levels which may be
hazardous to personnel.
The Quincy QSVI models are essentially vibration free,
however, some customers may choose to bolt the unit to
the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or
electrical connections as a result of being bumped. Only
use lag bolts to locate the unit. Do not pull the bolts
down tight as this may, under certain circumstances, place
the frame in a twist or bind causing eventual breakage of
fluid coolers, piping and reservoirs.
