For intermittent operation, the pump must always be covered by the
pumped liquid to the middle of the motor
3. CARRIAGE & TRANSPORT
During transportation the pump should be secured in such a manner as to avoid
shocks which may damage the pump.
Handle the pump carefully. Use the lifting eye provided or slings the pump from the
body and moves the pump with the aid of a hoist or proper handling equipment.
The pump should never be moved by the cable. There is a high possibility of
damage which may result in an electric short and risk of shock. The cable and cable
inlet may be damaged leading to loss of water tightness and subsequent severe
damage to the motor.
3.1 Lifting the pump
•
KJI pumps approximately weigh up to 10,000 kg without accessories. It is
therefore important to use the right lifting equipment.
-
The pump weight is stated on the pump nameplate.
•
All lifting equipment must be rated for the purpose and checked for damage
before any attempt to lift the pump. The lifting equipment rating must under no
circumstances be exceeded.
•
Always lift the pump by the marked lifting points or by designated equipment.
Never lift the pump by the power supply cables. It may result in electric short-
circuit and risk of electric shock when the pump is connected to the mains. The
cables and cable entry may be damaged, leading to loss of water tightness and
consequent severe damage to the motor.
4. STORAGE
4 .1 Warehouse Storage
•
The warehouse must be free of excessive humidity, corrosive gases or vapours
and free from vibration which might damage the pumps.
•
Store the pumps in a vertical position on a pallet or stand to keep the pump off
the floor and facilitate easy removal.
•
The cable should be coiled and the open end should be tightly sealed with
waterproof plastic and tape or a cable cap to prevent the penetration of moisture
which may reach the motor and cause severe damage to the windings.
•
All unpainted surfaces should be given a light coat of oil or grease to prevent
corrosion.
•
If the pumps is being stored for longer than two months the impeller must be
turned by hand at least every two months to prevent the lower mechanical seal
faces from seizing up.
