.1
Unpacking the product
Do not unpack more than required to verify that the equipment is
complete and undamaged unless installed immediately. Look
through all packaging material that is to be discarded to ensure no
parts or instructions are discarded accidentally. In some shipments,
small boxes containing additional parts are bound to pump skids.
Leave small parts in their shipping container until installation. While
unpacking, make sure that pump unit accessories are clearly
marked indicating the exact pump unit they should be used with.

.2
Transporting the product
The pump has been prepared for shipment at the factory so as to
minimize potential damage due to handling and transport.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐
Make sure all persons stand clear of the load and the
lifting equipment while product is lifted, lowered,
loaded and unloaded. Do not allow anyone to stand
on, under, or near the load.
Do not subject the pump to excessive g-forces during
handling or transport.

.3
Inspecting the product
The product must be inspected after transport and before
installation.
To complete the inspection, follow the steps below:
1.
Check the product for transport damage. Contact the
transporter immediately in case of damage.
2.
Check that the delivered products correspond to the order.
3.
Check the positions and sizes of fittings. Retighten
connections, as they may have become loose during transport.
4.
Note the extent of damage or shortage on the freight bill and
bill of lading. Failure to note damage or missing parts may
result in declined warranty or replacement of parts.
5.
Identify and properly store all pump components until ready for
installation.

Scope of delivery
A typical shipment will include:
•
one skid with the fire pump and the driver mounted on the base
plate
•
one skid with the controller and accessories, if any
•
installation and operating instructions.
Refer to the original order in case of questions about shipping, for
example, special arrangements with third-party vendors for shipping
and storage.

Handling and storing the product after delivery
Standard factory packaging is suitable for protection during
shipment and during covered storage at a job site for a short period
between installation and startup. The preservatives applied at the
factory have an effective life of two to three months from the date of
shipment from the factory, depending on the severity of the
environment. For international destinations this will vary depending
on the seaworthiness of the product's export packaging.

WARNING
Chemical hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐
This pump unit is designed to be operated within
certain limits pertaining to fluid pump, driver conditions,
etc. These limits are listed on the performance curve,
or on original contract documentation.
‐
Do not operate this pump at any pressure, flow rate, or
liquid temperature other than those for which the pump
was originally purchased. Do not pump any other liquid
than the one for which the pump was originally
purchased without the consent of Peerless Pump or its
authorized representatives. Disregarding this warning
can result in pump failure and serious personal injury
or death.
‐
Operation outside of these limits may result in damage
to the unit, personal injury, or death. Consult your
Peerless Pump representative for approval if a need
arises to operate outside of these limits.
Operation at a reduced capacity for prolonged periods
may shorten the useful life of the seals or packing, shaft
sleeves, bearings, and the shaft. Fire pumps are applied
with full knowledge that operation at reduced capacity will
occur.

.2
Location
Locate pump inlet and outlet pipes as well as auxiliary
equipment, control and starting panels so as to provide
adequate floor space and working room for access and
ease of maintenance.
To minimize frictional head loss, locate the pump so that it
can be installed with a short and direct outlet pipe and the
minimum number of elbows and fittings. If practical, locate
the pump that it will be accessible for inspection during
operation. Protect pumps, drivers and controls against
damage from flooding, freezing, etc.
