1.0 Introduction
1.1 General
This instruction manual contains necessary information on the TopGear pumps and must be read
carefully before installation, service and maintenance. The manual must be kept easily accessible to
the operator.
Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for without
consulting your distributor.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit, with a risk of personal injury.
1.2 Reception, handling and storage
1.2.1 Reception
Remove all packing materials immediately after delivery. Check the consignment for damage
immediately on arrival and make sure that the name plate/type designation is in accordance with the
packing slip and your order.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report should be drawn up and presented to the carrier at
once. Notify your distributor.
All pumps have the serial number
stamped on a nameplate.
This number should be stated in
all correspondence with your distributor.
The first two digits of the serial
number indicate the year of production.
1.2.2 Handling
Check the mass (weight) of the pump unit. All parts weighing more than 20 kg must be lifted using
lifting slings and suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or industrial truck. See section 6.6
Weights – Mass.
Never lift the pump unit with only two fastening
points. Incorrect lift can cause personal injury
and/or damage to the pump unit.
Always use two or more lifting slings. Make sure
they are secured in such a way as to prevent
them from slipping. The pump unit should be
lifted in a horizontal position.
1.2.3 Storage
If the pump is not commissioned immediately, the shaft should be turned a full turn once every week.
This ensures a proper distribution of the protective oil.
