2. Receiving the product
2.1 Inspecting the product
The pump is delivered from the factory in a crate or
wooden box specially designed for transport by a
forklift truck or a similar vehicle.
Upon receipt, check the pump visually to determine
whether any damage has happened to it during
transport or handling.
Check especially for these points:
1. broken or cracked equipment, including base
frame, motor or pump feet and flanges
2. broken motor fan cover, bent eyebolts or
damaged terminal box
3. missing parts.
Parts or accessories are sometimes wrapped
individually or fastened to the equipment.
If any damage or losses have occurred, promptly
notify Grundfos' representative and the carrier's
agent at once.
2.2 Temporary storage
If you do not store or operate the pump soon after
arrival, store it in a clean, dry place with slow,
moderate changes in ambient temperature. Protect
the pump from moisture, dust, dirt and foreign
bodies. Avoid exposing the motor to direct, intense
sunlight, rain, snow, ice and also dust for an
extended periods of time. Attach a covering structure
or an additional cover when using or storing the
product outdoors. Before and during storage we
recommend these precautions:
1. Make sure that the bearings are filled with the
recommended grease to prevent moisture from
entering around the shaft. See section
.
2. Make sure that the inlet and outlet ports and all
other openings are covered with cardboard,
wood or masking tape to prevent foreign objects
from entering the pump.
3. Cover the unit with a tarpaulin or other suitable
covering if it is to be stored where there is no
protective covering.
4. Rotate the shaft two turns every two weeks to
prevent corrosion of the bearing surfaces and the
stuffing box or sticking of the shaft seal faces.
Observe these instructions for
explosion-proof products.
A blue or grey circle with a white graphical
symbol indicates that an action must be
taken.
A red or grey circle with a diagonal bar,
possibly with a black graphical symbol,
indicates that an action must not be taken
or must be stopped.
If these instructions are not observed, it
may result in malfunction or damage to the
equipment.
Tips and advice that make the work easier.
Bolts for LS bare shaft pumps have US
threads for which inch tools are required.
