2.10 Warranty

Seller warrants that the equipment or services supplied will be

free from defects in material, and workmanship for a period of

months from the date of initial operation of the equipment, or

months from the date of shipment, whichever shall first

occur. In the case of spare or replacement parts manufactured

by Seller, the warranty period shall be for a period of six months

from shipment. Repairs shall be warranted for

months or, if

the repair is performed under this warranty, for the remainder of

the original warranty period, whichever is less. Buyer shall report

any claimed defect in writing to Seller immediately upon

discovery and in any event, within the warranty period. Seller

shall, at its sole option, repair the equipment or furnish

replacement equipment or parts thereof, at the original delivery

point. Seller shall not be liable for costs of removal,

reinstallation, or gaining access. If Buyer or others repair,

replace, or adjust equipment or parts without Seller's prior

written approval, Seller is relieved of any further obligation to

Buyer under this section with respect to such equipment or

parts. The repair or replacement of the equipment or spare or

replacement parts by Seller under this section shall constitute

Seller's sole obligation and Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy

for all claims of defects. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER

WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND WITH

RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES OTHER THAN

AS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 10. ALL OTHER

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. For purposes of this

Section, the equipment warranted shall not include equipment,

parts, and work not manufactured or performed by Seller. With

respect to such equipment, parts, or work, Seller's only obligation

shall be to assign to Buyer any warranty provided to Seller by the

manufacturer or supplier providing such equipment, parts or

work. No equipment furnished by Seller shall be deemed to be

defective by reason of normal wear and tear, failure to resist

erosive or corrosive action of any fluid or gas, Buyer's failure to

properly store, install, operate or maintain the equipment in

accordance with good industry practices or specific

recommendations of Seller, or Buyer's failure to provide complete

and accurate information to Seller concerning the operational

application of the equipment.

2.11 Technical documents

Technical documents furnished by Seller to Buyer, such as

drawings, descriptions, designs and the like, shall be deemed

provided to Buyer on a confidential basis, shall remain Seller's

exclusive property, shall not be provided in any way to third

parties, and shall only be used by Buyer for purposes of

installation, operation and maintenance. Technical documents

submitted in connection with a Quotation that does not result in a

Purchase Order shall be returned to Seller upon request.

2.12 Limitation of liability

Seller shall in no event be liable for any consequential, incidental,

indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of the Contract,

or out of any breach of any of its obligations hereunder, or out of

any defect in, or failure of, or malfunction of the equipment,

including but not limited to, claims based upon loss of use, lost

profits or revenue, interest, lost goodwill, work stoppage,

impairment of other equipment, environmental damage, nuclear

incident, loss by reason of shutdown or nonoperation, increased

expenses of operation, cost of purchase of replacement power or

claims of Buyer or customers of Buyer for service interruption

whether or not such loss or damage is based on contract, tort

(including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise. Seller's

maximum liability under this Contract shall not exceed the

Purchase Order amount of the equipment or portion thereof upon

which such liability is based. All such liability shall terminate upon

the expiration of the warranty period, if not sooner terminated.

3. Installation - Mechanical

Read these instructions thoroughly before installing and

operating your PACO Type L Centrifugal Pump. Successful

operation depends on careful attention to the procedures

described in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this manual. Keep this

instruction manual handy for future use.

3.1 Pump identification

All PACO Pumps are identified by Catalog and Serial Numbers.

These numbers are stamped on the pump nameplate (Fig. 1)

affixed to each pump volute casing, and should be referred to in

all correspondence with the Company.

Nameplate

3.2 Receiving

• Check pumping unit for shortage and damage immediately

upon arrival. Pump accessories when required are packaged

in a separate container and shipped with the unit.

• If equipment is damaged in transit, promptly report this to the

carrier's agent. Make complete notations on the freight bill to

speed satisfactory adjustment by the carrier.

• Unload and handle the unit with a sling. Do not lift unit by eye

bolts on the motor!

3.3 Temporary storage

• If pump is not to be installed and operated soon after arrival,

store it in a clean, dry area of moderate ambient temperature.

• Rotate the shaft by hand periodically to coat bearing with

lubricant to retard oxidation and corrosion.

• Follow motor manufacturer's storage recommendations where

applicable.

3.4 Location

• Locate the pump as close to the suction supply as possible.

Use the shortest and most direct suction piping practical.

Refer to

3.9 Suction (inlet) piping

• Locate the pump below system level wherever possible. This

will facilitate priming, assure a steady liquid flow, and provide

a positive suction head.

• Make sure sufficient NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) is

provided at the suction end by considering the pump's location

in relation to the entire system. Available NPSH must always

equal or exceed required NPSH specified on the pump

performance curve.

• Always allow sufficient accessibility for maintenance and

inspection. Provide a clear space with ample head room for

use of a hoist strong enough to lift the unit.

• Make sure a suitable power source is available for the pump

motor. Electrical characteristics should match those specified

on the motor data plate, within the limits covered in

4. Installation-electrical

and

5. Operation

• Avoid pump exposure to sub-zero temperatures to prevent

pump liquid from freezing. If freezing conditions exist during

shutdown periods, see Sections

5.6 Pump shutdown

and

5.7 Short duration shutdown

for specific recommendations.

3.5 Horizontal pump foundation

Horizontal pumps should be permanently installed on a firm,

concrete foundation mounting pad of sufficient size to dampen

any vibration and prevent any deflection or misalignment. The

pad may float on springs or be a raised part of the equipment

room floor. The foundation should be poured without interruption

to 3/4 to 1 - 1/2 inches below the final pump elevation. The top

surface should be well scored or grooved before the concrete

sets to provide a suitable bonding surface for the grout. Anchor

bolts should be set in pipe sleeves for positioning allowance, as

shown in Fig. 2. Allow enough bolt length for grout, lower base

plate flange, nuts and washers. Allow the foundation to cure

several days before proceeding with pump installation.
