4.1 Arrival inspection
The pump is packed in a cardboard or wood box
with plugs in the port connections to protect the
pumps from damage during transportation.
Immediately check the shipment for damage on
arrival and make sure that the name plate/type
designation is in accordance with the packing
slip and your order.
Remove all packing materials immediately after
delivery. In case of damage and/or missing parts,
a report should be drawn up and presented to
the carrier at once.
4.2 Warning
Before any lifting operation is performed,
environmental conditions must be taken into
consideration (Ex-rated areas, wind speed, wet/
dry conditions, lifting height, etc.).
4.3 General safety information
Personnel involved in lifting and transporting the
equipment (see Safety, chapter 2) must be
trained in handling and safety procedures when
lifting heavy loads. Many of the pumps and
pump units weigh more than 20 kilos, which
requires lifting slings and suitable lifting devices;
e.g. an overhead crane or industrial truck to be
used as minimum.
4.4 Transport and handling
Small pumps which have a weight below 20 kilos
(weight can be found in the Data sheet in
appendix 1) can be handled by hand if they are
not mounted together with an electric motor.
The weight of a small pump with a motor will be
above 20 kilos.
Pumps which have a weight above 20 kilos (see
Data sheet, appendix 1) must be handled by
using lifting eyes and slings.
Never use only one sling and make sure the
slings does not slip o
ff
the pump.
When the pump is mounted together with an
electric motor, the pump unit always weight
more than 20 kilos and must be handled by using
slings around the pump unit.
