Storage
If the machine is not required for immediate installation, the machine should be stored in a clean, dry area protected from the
weather. The intake and discharge port covers must remain in position until the machine is installed.
For a storage period longer than 60 days, we recommend the following 2 points:-
The shaft be turned a few revolutions by hand to ensure the machine is running free every month until the machine is
installed.
Loosen any drive belts fitted.
The green protective coating on the shaft remains effective for approximately 1 year. If the machine is stored for a longer period of
time, the coat must be renewed.
Handling
Skilled personnel working in accordance with safe working practices must carry out the lifting of machines. Before lifting
the correct equipment must be available. Certified cranes, jacks, slings, and lifting beams must be capable of carrying
the weight of the machine to be lifted. Do not use the shaft extension for lifting or moving the machine.
For weights see above in Technical Specification.
Installation

adhered to. All work must be carried out in a safe area.

to faulty installation will be void.
The machine is delivered ready to be connected, with only the removal of the intake and discharge protection covers. All warning
labels and instructions must be observed and retained with the machine. Before installation, ensure there is no damage to the machine
and that it turns freely by hand.
