result anyway under 2,5 m/s
2
and are not able to create dangerous situations. In case of significant vibration, stop the machine immediately and
contact maintenance service.
HOT SURF ACE
Some surfaces may become hot during normal use, especially near the motor and its connection flange to the pump.
Please check that the motor can be enough ventilated and that nearby objects or sunrays will not irradiate it with additional heat.
TRANSPORT, MOVEMENT AND STORAGE
RECEI VEMENT CHECK
AQUA metering pumps are supplied packaged with materials, which protect them against accidental damages during transportation.
In any case, during the reception of the package, Customer should have to verify package integrity.
Eventual damages must be notified to the transporter, and added to the Transport Document Notes.
In case of damages, before starting the machine, please contact AQUA technical assistance.
STORAGE
AQUA recommends to store the machines in their original package.
In any case if not immediately used, pumps have to be stored with adequate protections in warm and dry environment, clean, without vibrations into
and protected against bad weather. Furthermore, be sure to protect from ground humidity by using a raised plan (e.g.: shelf/pallet). Avoid ambient
temperature below - 20°C. If the machine will not be used for a long period, AQUA recommends to load the oil to preserve internal components by
oxidation. Do not stack packages (except when explicitly allowed) in order to avoid damages to the below machine or package tilting and fall, which
may cause injuries. Be sure that the shelf is able to support package weight. Before starting the machine, keep it in warm environment for few hours,
in order to stabilize its temperature to the working conditions.
If required, please notify in advance about special storage conditions, in order to prepare an adequate package.
