TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
4. Transportation and storage
4.1. Delivery
On delivery, check immediately that the shipment is complete and
undamaged. If any parts are damaged or missing, the transport com
-
pany or the manufacturer must be notified on the day of delivery.
Claims made after this date cannot be recognised. Damage to parts
must be noted on the freight documentation.
4.2. Transport
Only the designated and approved sling gear, transport and lifting
equipment are to be used for transportation. They must have suf-
ficient load bearing capacity and lifting force to enable the pump
chamber to be transported safely. When using chains, they must be
secured against slipping.
The personnel must be qualified for the tasks and must follow all
applicable national safety regulations during the work.
The pump chamber is supplied in suitable packaging by the man-
ufacturer or supplier. This normally precludes the possibility of
damage occurring during transportation and storage.
4.3. Storage
When delivered, new pump chambers are prepared in such a way
that they can be stored for at least 1 year. For intermediate storage,
the pump chamber must be cleaned thoroughly before storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for storage:
•
Place the pump chamber securely on a solid bearing surface and
secure it against falling over or sliding away. Pump chambers are
stored vertically.
DANGER due to falling over!
Never set down the pump chamber without it being secured.
There is a risk of injury if the pump chamber falls over.
•
The pump chamber must be stored in a dry, frost-proof room. We
recommend a room temperature of between 5 °C and 25 °C.
• The pump chamber may not be stored in rooms where welding work
is carried out, as the resulting gases and radiation can attack the
elastomer parts.
• All connection ports and the pump chamber inlet must be securely
sealed to prevent contaminants.
• Accessories such as the pump and level sensors must be dismantled.
• The pump chamber must be protected from direct sunlight, heat,
dust and frost. Heat or frost can result in damage to the elastomer
parts.
•
After a long period of storage, the pump chamber must be cleaned
of impurities before commissioning.
Note that elastomer parts are subject to a natural process of em
-
brittlement. We recommend checking them if stored for more than 6
months. Consult the manufacturer for further details.
5. Installation
RISK of death due to improper handling!
Incorrect installation and improper electrical connections can be
life-threatening.
• Installation and electrical connection may only be carried out
by specialist personnel and in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
• Adhere to regulations for accident prevention!
