3.4.2 Storage
3.4.3 Pump
Apply a suitable antirust agent on all machined, non-coated
surfaces. If the pump is to be stored for more than six months
before startup, treat the inner pump components with a suitable
antirust agent.
The antirust agent must meet these requirements:
• It must not attack rubber parts.
• It must be easy to remove.
• It must be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
In order to prevent water, dust, etc. from penetrating the pump,
cover all openings appropriately until the pipes are installed.
If this is not followed, it will be very expensive to dismantle the
pump to remove foreign bodies after commissioning.
Turn the pump shaft by hand once a month to prevent the shaft
seal from seizing up. To do this, disconnect the diesel engine
from the pump.
3.4.4 Engine
See the installation and operating instructions for the engine.
3.4.5 Coupling
See the installation and operating instructions for the coupling.
3.4.6 Controller
See the installation and operating instructions for the controller.
Warning
When lifting the entire pump set, use the lifting
eyes specifically marked on the base frame.
Never use the lifting eyes of the individual
components.
The lifting point should always be above the
centre of gravity of the pump set. See fig. 1.
Alternatively, a forklift suitable for the weight can
be used.
Use certified and approved lifting equipment in
proper condition. See the weight specification on
system nameplate located on the base frame near
the pump.
Only transport the pump set when the cabinet
door is closed and locked. Otherwise, there is a
risk of jamming.
Do not stand under or near the fire pump set
during lifting. When guidance is needed for
placing the pump set; use wires - do not touch
the pump set.
