3.3- Storage
• If the pump will not be installed in place immediately, it should be stored at a clean and dry place
free of any frost hazard without excessive change in the ambient temperature.
• If the pump bearings are of grease-applied ones, extra grease should be applied to the bearings to
prevent moisture ingress around the shaft.
• Necessary precautions should be taken to protect the pump against humidity, dust, dirt and foreign
materials.
• The pump should be rotated manually by some turns occasionally (e.g. once in a week) to prevent
pitting on the bearing surfaces and sticking of the pump.

INSTALLATION ON SITE
Installation of the pump on site and levelling and adjustments of it should be performed only by
qualified personnel. Improper installation or pump base (foundation) may cause failure. Such situations
are excluded from warranty.
Installation on site should be performed as per NFPA 20 standard.
4.1- Bare Shaft Pump
• If the pump is purchased as bare shaft pump, then first a proper baseplate should be constructed
to connect the pump and motor group. The baseplate should be designed and manufactured in such
a way that it will have resistance to prevent vibration and deformation.
• If the pump is supplied without motor, proper motor and coupling should be selected before the
group is installed.
• Following points should be taken into consideration when selecting motor:
- Maximum power drawn by the pump along the entire operating range,
- Running speed of the pump,
- Applicable power supply (frequence, voltage, etc.),
- Motor type (IEC, NEMA),
- Motor connection form (pedestal, flanged, horizontal, vertical, etc.), and
• Rated motor power, rpm and type of drive should be taken into consideration when selecting coupling.
4.2- Preparation for Installation
Prior to installation of the pump in place:
• Suction and delivery flanges should be cleaned thoroughly.
• Protective film on the pump shaft should be removed.
• If the pump has been stored temporarily, the liquid oil in the bearings should be drained completely
(in case of pumps manufactured with liquid oil) and the bearings should be cleaned by a proper
cleaning agent and then oiled again. This operation is not required for the pumps lubricated by grease
and for the pumps using enclosed type of ball bearing.
ATTENTION
• The pump should be installed at a well-ventilated place free of freezing and explosion risk.
• There should be sufficient space around the pump being installed to allow easy access for
maintenance of the pump as well as sufficient space above the pump to hoist it when required.
• Suction pipe of the pump should be short as far as possible.
