Transport and Storage
2.1.1
Transport
Centrifugal pumps must be transported lying down! The lifting lugs on the motor are only
designed for the weight of the motor alone. A unit consisting of a motor and a pump unit
must be attached on both the motor and pump sides. If necessary, the position of the
centre of gravity is identified on the pump unit itself and on the packaging and the positions
for inserting lifting equipment are marked.
2.1.2
Storage
•
Temporary storage
Even for temporary storage of short duration, store in a dry, well ventilated location free
of vibration on wooden supports at a temperature that is as constant as possible.
•
Unsuitable storage
If storage conditions are unsuitable (for example high relative humidity), or if the pump
will be in storage for longer than 6 weeks, the pump housing must be filled with oil (see
2.1.3).
•
Storage for extended duration
If the storage time exceeds 2 years, the roller bearings in the motor must be regreased
or completely replaced.
Risk of injury!
Use only suitable lifting equipment and load holding devices which are in
perfect working order and have adequate load-bearing capacity!
Never work or stand under suspended loads!
