II. INSPECTION AND STORAGE.
A. INSPECTION. Upon receipt of the shipment, unpack and inspect the pump, motor assemblies, and
individual parts to insure none are missing or damaged. Carefully inspect all boxes and packing material
for loose parts before discarding them. Immediately report to the factory and to the transportation
company if there are any missing or damaged parts incurred during shipment, and file a “damage and/or
lost in shipment” claim with the carrier.
B. STORAGE OF PUMP. If the pumping unit and/or parts are not immediately installed and operated,
store the equipment in a clean, dry, well-ventilated place, free from vibrations, moisture, and rapid or wide
variations in temperature.
Grease Lubricated Pump. Rotate the shaft for several revolutions at least once per month to coat the
bearings with lubricant, retard oxidation and corrosion, and prevent possible false brinelling.
Consider a unit to be in storage when:
1. The pump has been delivered to the job site and is waiting to be installed.
2. The pump has been installed but operation is delayed pending completion of construction.
3. There are long (30 days or more) periods between operating cycles.
4. The plant (or department) is shut down for periods of longer than 30 days.
NOTE
Storage requirements vary depending on climatic environment, length of storage, and equipment.
For storage periods of three months or longer, contact a representative from Carver Pump
Company for specific instructions. Improper storage will damage equipment and will require non-
warranty restoration and/or non-warranty product failures.
III. INSTALLATION.
Personnel who possess general training in the operation and maintenance of centrifugal pumps should
install the pump. The pumps should be installed in accordance with good safety and machinery practices.
Faulty installation will result in operating troubles and premature wear of parts.
After ascertaining the unit has suffered no damage in transit, the pumping unit can be installed. Proceed
as follows:
To lift pumping unit, use a hoist or device with suitable lifting capacity. Do not pick up the
complete unit by the motor or pump shaft. The motor alone may be lifted using the motor lifting
eyes.
1. Make sure the mounting frame is level and clean and free of debris. Install pump into reservoir and
bolt to mounting frame. Rotate the shaft by hand to verify that the pump rotates freely.
2. Connect piping. Extreme care should be taken when connecting new piping to ensure that no foreign
matter such as dirt, chips, tools, etc., is in the piping, tank, or return piping as this will cause debris to
draw into the pump and cause excessive damage. Any debris caught in the pump passageways will
throw the pumping unit out of balance.
