Transport and interim storage
3.1
Shipping
The pump can be delivered as part of the sprinkler system in an
installed state or as an individual unit. The transport and interim stor-
age instructions of the sprinkler system are to be observed. When
delivered as an individual unit the pump is lashed to a pallet ex works
and protected against dirt and moisture. The additional information
applies for the delivery of the pump as part of the sprinkler system
and as an individual unit accordingly.
Transport inspection
On arrival, inspect the pump immediately for any transport damage.
If damage is detected, the necessary steps involving the forwarding
agent must be taken within the specified period.
Storage
Before installation, the pump must be kept dry, frost-free and pro-
tected from mechanical damage.
NOTE:
Improper storage can lead to damage to the equipment, which is
excluded from the guarantee and warranty.
Short-term storage
(less than three months):
If it is required to store a pump before its installation for a short time,
keep it in a dry, clean and ventilated place, which is free of vibrations,
moisture and fast/extreme temperature differences. Protect the
bearings and couplings from sand, gravel and other foreign objects.
To prevent rust and bearing seizing, lubricate the unit and turn the
rotor by hand by several rotations at least once a week.
Long-term storage
(more than three months):
If it is planned to store the pump over a longer period of time, addi-
tional precautionary measures must be taken. All rotating parts must
be coated with a suitable protective medium to protect them from
rust. If the pump should be stored for more than a year, consult the
manufacturer.
CAUTION! Risk of damage due to incorrect packaging!
If the pump is transported again at a later time, it must be packaged
so that it cannot be damaged during transport. Use the original
packaging for this, or choose equivalent packaging.
