STORAGE
If the pump is to be stored in a location where freezing temperatures may be encountered, drain the water
jacket. The water jacket drain plugs are located on the exhaust side of the pump. Refill with antifreeze for
storage.
INITIAL FREIGHT RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Before a system ships from DEKKER, it is thoroughly tested, and will not be released unless it passes
DEKKER’s Quality Control standards. Once the system is received and signed for in Good Condition,
DEKKER cannot be held accountable for undiscovered and/or unclaimed damage that is a result of freight
transit. It is the responsibility of the receiver to thoroughly inspect upon delivery. The customer should
take photos of the system as it arrives and send to DEKKER if there are any issues. Failure to report these
issues within the freight carriers’ undiscovered damage window can result in denial of warranty claims.
DEKKER does keep photos of all systems, as shipped, to assist in freight claims. Report any damage
immediately to
AfterSales_Support@dekkervacuum.com
.
Key items to check:
Is system received as requested? Are all parts, accessories, and components delivered?
Check the skid and crating for cosmetic damage. Was the skid or crating received in good condition?
Is there any cosmetic damage to the vacuum system or control panel?
Check wiring inside of control panel. All wires should be terminated and connections tight.
Control panel components should be tight on DIN rail or other mounts/fasteners.
Are there any leaks or puddles around the pump? Specify hose, piping or housing leak.
System must be given an initial startup test as soon as possible after delivery. This is to ensure that the
motor has not shifted out of alignment during transit as well as to verify that electrical components are
functioning without fault – Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), panel
cooling fans, transducers.
