3.2 Inspecting the product
After transportation and before installation, the pumping station
must be inspected by the customer.
The inspection must include the following:
• Check the pumping station for transport damage. Contact the
transporter immediately if you detect any damage.
• Check that the products delivered correspond to the order.
• Check the positions and sizes of fittings.
• Retighten various connections, as they may have become
loose during the transport.
• Check that all valves, except the draining valve in the valve
chamber, are open.
• Check other equipment such as vent pipes.
When transporting and handling the pit at low
temperatures, take into consideration that the pit
impact resistance is reduced.
Before raising the pit into vertical position, remove
transport supports and accessories from the inside of
the pit.
