Transportation, storage and disposal
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery
1. Upon delivery unpack the pump and check for transport damage.
2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer.
3. Dispose of packaging material in accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
Lifting the pump
Notice:
If the motor and the pump are set up at an angle of 90° to each other, the centre of gravity lies
over the pump, see "Structure", page 9. The pump therefore has to be specifically secured against tilting
at the hoisting equipment after it has been placed and before loosening the hoisting equipment.
1. Attach the hoisting equipment to the pump, and lift the pump.
2. After it has been placed, ensure that the pump is secured against tilting.
Storage
During the test run, the internal components of the pump are wetted with test oil, which has a preserva-
tive effect. The pipe connections are fitted with protective covers. Unless otherwise specified, the exter-
nal components of the pump are preserved with a single-coat PU-based two-component paint. The pre-
servative applied at the factory will protect the pump for about six weeks, if it is stored in a dry and clean
location. The manufacturer offers a long-term preservation for storage times of up to 60 months. To this
purpose the pump is additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.

DANGER
Risk of injury and/or damage to equipment by tilting and falling of the pump.
► Use intact and correctly dimensioned hoisting equipment in accordance with the total weight to be
transported.
► Fasten hoisting equipment in accordance with the figures and corresponding to the centre of gra-
vity and weight distribution.
► Use at least two load ropes.
► Secure motor additionally against tilting. Separate motor and pump, if necessary.
► Do not stand under raised loads.
