1.
Attach the hoisting equipment to the pump/pump unit and tighten. Ensure that the centre of grav-
ity lies exactly under the crane hook.
2.
Lift the pump/pump unit carefully and put it down shock-free.
3.
Before loosening the transport belts ensure that the pump/pump unit is secured against tilting.
6.5 Storing the pump
During the test run, the internal components of the pump are wetted with test oil, which has a preser-
vative effect. Pressure connection and suction connection are closed with protective caps. Unless oth-
erwise specified, the outer surfaces of the pump are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-com-
ponent paint.
The preservative applied at the factory will protect the pump for about six weeks, if it is stored in a dry
and clean location.
The manufacturer offers a long-term preservation for storage times of up to 60 months. The pump is
additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.
