III. Handling and Storage
The FastVac system is shipped on a skid, securely crated, with
all openings sealed at the factory. It may be stored in this manner,
under cover. Use accepted rigging practices to move the system
for storage or installation.
Unpacking
Unpack the machine from the shipping crate and skid. (The
stationary model should be unpacked in its permanent location
to simplify handling.)
NOTE: Inspect the machine for damage and report any shipping
damage to the carrier. If there is any other damage, contact
your Spencer Representative.
NOTE: Small parts or accessories may have been shipped in
the dirt can. This is a standard shipping procedure to keep
orders organized. Lower the dirt can by lifting the bail and
remove any loose parts inside.
IV. Installation
Location
This equipment is designed for operation at or near sea level
atmospheric pressure and a nominal ambient temperature of
70°F (21°C). The ambient temperature should not exceed 104°
F (40° C). The area of use should have adequate ventilation to
disperse warm exhaust air from the vacuum producer. Contact
your Spencer Representative if your conditions differ.
