3 Transport, storage and disposal
The pump or the unit must be transported
properly. It must be ensured that during
transport the pump/unit remains in the hori-
zontal position and does not slip out of the
transport suspension points.
A pump or motor can be suspended from the ring bolt
provided for this purpose.
The suspension points are not suitable for transport-
ing 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
Fig. 1.
exception:
The base plate 270 x 500 mm for pumps in group 1
does not have any rope stops. In this case, the unit
(pump, motor and base plate) is suspended from the
crane eyelets of pump and motor.
The slinging ropes must not be attached to free shaft
ends.

Directly after receipt of the goods, check the con-
signment for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Damaged pumps must not be installed in the plant.
When unpacking magnetic drives as single
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 pos-
sible.
Protect elastomers against UV light.
Generally, a storage period of 10 years do not
exceeded. An admissible storage period of 4 years
applies 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 manu-
facturer's works.
It is imperative to enclose a
safety information
sheet / general safety certificate
on the field of ap-
plication 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 es-
caped and dispose of it in accordance with the
local regulations.
♦
Neutralise any medium residues in the pump.
♦
Separate pump materials (plastics, metals etc.)
and dispose of them in accordance with the local
regulations.
