To avoid any problems, on receipt of your pump
always use the following procedure:-
2.1 Documents
1.
Check the delivery note against the goods
received.
2.2 Unpacking
Care must be taken when unpacking the pump,
and the following stages must be completed:-
1.
Inspect the packing for any possible signs
of damage in transit.
2.
Carefully remove the packing.
3.
Inspect the pump for any visible signs of
damage.
4.
Remove packing from the pump port
connections.
5.
Ensure that any additional equipment such
as seal flushing pipework is not damaged.
2.3 Handling
Refer to the pump weights guide, prior to using
any lifting gear. Use the correct lifting slings
for the pump weight.
An M10 x 15 tapping has been provided
suitable for the fitting of an eyebolt to enable
the pump to be lifted either with or without
the hydraulic drive fitted. Alternatively slings
should be wrapped around the ports and the
hydraulic drive flange.
Note :
To stop the slings slipping always cross
the slings at the lifting hooks.

2.4 Pump storage
After receipt and inspection if the pump is not
to be installed immediately the pump should
be repacked and placed in suitable storage.
The following points should be noted:-

Plastic or gasket type port covers
should be left in place.

corrosion inhibiting treatment material

prevent bearing damage.
