Page 6: Introduction
SAFETY All vacuum pumps, systems and/or compressors (hereafter referred to as the Product) offered by DEKKER have been designed and manufactured for safe operation. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use and maintain these products. The safety department where the product is installed should establish a safety program based on OSHA, federal, state, and local codes. -
Page 7: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION The DEKKER HullVac rotary piston vacuum pump is designed and manufactured to achieve a high level of performance. These pumps create a vacuum with a piston that moves in a circular path. As it rotates, pressure is decreased on the inlet side and increased on the discharge side. The two sides are separated by a film of oil between the piston and the cylinder. -
Page 8: Storage
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. -
