Transport and storage
The pump or the unit must be transported
properly. It must be ensured that during
transport the pump/unit remains in the
horizontal position and does not slip out
of the transport suspension points.
A pump or the motor can be suspended from the crane
hook lug provided for this purpose.
The suspension points are not suitable for transporting
a complete unit, i.e. pump with base plate and motor.
In this case, the slinging points for the ropes on the
base plate are to be used.
See F
ig. 1.
The slinging ropes must
not
be attached to free shaft
ends or to the ring bolt of the motor.

Directly after receipt of the goods, check the
consignment for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Damaged pumps must not be installed in the plant.
When unpacking magnetic drives as sin-
gle parts, the relevant notes in
Section
7.5.2
must be observed.
Handle goods carefully to prevent damage.
Flange covers serve as protection during transport and
must not be removed.
If the unit is not installed immediately after delivery,
store them properly.
The pumps be stored in a dry, vibration-free and well-
ventilated room at as constant a temperature as possi-
ble.
Elastomers are to be protected against UV light.
Generally, a storage period of 10 years does not ex-
ceeded. An admissible storage period of 4 years ap-
plies to elastomers made of NBR.
If magnetic drives are stored as single
parts, the relevant notes in
Section 7.5.2
are to be observed.
In the case of prolonged storage conservation agents
on machined component surfaces and packing with a
desiccant may be necessary.
3.1 Return consignments
Pumps which have conveyed aggressive
or toxic media must be well flushed and
cleaned before being returned to the
manufacturer's works.
It is
imperative
to enclose a
safety information sheet
/ general safety certificate
on the field of application
with the return consignment.
Pre-printed forms are enclosed with the installation and
operating manual.
Safety precautions and decontamination methods are
to be mentioned.
3.2 Disposal
Parts of the pump may be contaminated with medium
which is detrimental to health and the environment and
therefore cleaning is not sufficient.
Risk of personal injury or damage to the
environment due to the medium or oil!
♦
Wear protective clothing when work is performed on
the pump.
♦
Prior to the disposal of the pump:
♦
Collect any medium, oil etc. which has escaped
and dispose of it in accordance with the local
regulations.
♦
Neutralize any medium residues in the pump.
♦
Separate pump materials (plastics, metals etc.) and
dispose of them in accordance with the local regu-
lations.
