4. Package, Transport, Storage
4.1. Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for dam-
age and a check made that all parts are present. If any
parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or
the manufacturer must be informed on the day of delivery.
Any claim made at a later date will be deemed invalid.
Damage to parts must be noted on the delivery or freight
documentation.
4.2. Transport
Only the appropriate and approved fastening devices,
transportation means and lifting equipment may be used.
These must have sufficient load bearing capacity to en-
sure that the product can be transported safety. If chains
are used they must be secured against slipping. The per-
sonnel must be qualified for the tasks and must follow all
applicable national safety regulations during the work. The
product is delivered by the manufacturer/shipping agency
in suitable packaging. This normally precludes the possi-
bility of damage occurring during transport and storage.
The packaging should be stored in a safe place if the loca-
tion used is changed frequently.
4.3. Storage
Newly supplied products are prepared that they can be
stored for 1 year. The product should be cleaned thor-
oughly before interim storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for
storage:
•
Place the product on a firm surface and secure it
against falling over. Submersible mixers and aux-
iliary lifting devices should be stored horizontally,
submersible sewage pumps and submersible motor
pumps should be stored horizontally or vertically. It
should be ensured that they cannot bend if stored
horizontally.
Danger from falling over!
Never put down the product unsecured. If the
product falls over, injury can occur!
•
The product has to be stored at a place free from vi-
brations and agitation to avoid damage from the ball
bearings.
•
It is also necessary to pay attention to the storage.
The device should be stored in dry rooms without
temperature fluctuation.
•
The product may not be stored in rooms where weld-
ing work is conducted as the resulting gases and ra-
diation can damage the elastomer parts and coatings.
•
It is responsible to take care that the corrosion coat-
ing will not be spoiled
•
Any suction or pressure connections on products
should be closed tightly before storage to prevent
impurities.
•
The power supply cables should be protected against
kinking, damage and moisture.
Beware of electrical current!
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal inju-
ry! Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
Beware of damp!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and
render them useless. Therefore, never immerse ca-
ble ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.
•
The machine must be protected from direct sunlight,
heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can cause con-
siderable damage to propellers, rotors and coatings.
•
The rotors or propellers must be turned at regular in-
tervals. This prevents the bearing from locking and
the film of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is re-
newed. This also prevents the gear pinions (if present
on the product) from becoming fixed as they turn and
also renews the lubricating film on the gear pinions
(preventing rust film deposits).
Beware of sharp edges!
Sharp edges can form on rotors and propellers.
There is a risk of injuries. Wear protective gloves.
•
If the product has been stored for a long period of
time it should be cleaned of impurities such as dust
and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and propellers
should be checked for smooth running, housing coat-
ing and damage.
•
After storage longer than one year the oil of motor
and, if necessary the gear have to be changed. This
is also necessary if the product never had run (natural
deterioration of mineral oil).
Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, cooling fluid
etc.) of the individual products should be checked and
topped up if required. Please refer to the machine data
sheet for specifications on filling. Damaged coatings
should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that
is completely intact fulfills the criteria for intended
usage!
If these rules are observed, your product can be stored
for a longer period. Please remember that elastomer parts
and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is
to be stored for longer than 6 months, we recommend
checking these parts and replacing them as necessary.
Please consult the manufacturer.
4.4. Returning to the supplier
Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean
and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means
that impurities have been removed and decontaminat-
ed if it has been used with materials which are hazard-
ous to health. The packaging must protect the product
against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!
