INSTALLATION
Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for any damage
sustained during shipment. If damage is found,
note the nature and extent before unpacking. A
photograph is helpful in any claims to be made
against the shipper; also, inform Sundyne or the
local authorized distributor. Check the nameplate
data against the shipping papers and against
your purchase order to ensure that the correct
pump is supplied.
After unpacking check to see that the suction and
discharge flanges are sealed. If the seals have
come loose, examine the pump to ensure no
packing material or dirt is in the casing. It may be
necessary to remove the pump casing to check.
Refer to the Dismantling Instructions if required.
Inspect the suction and discharge flanges to be
certain that they are free from scratches or nicks
and that they are clean. The gasket seating
surfaces in particular should be cleaned carefully.
Ensure that a copy of this manual is in the hands
of the installation personnel and that they have
read it thoroughly before proceeding further.
The input shaft on the pump may
naturally not turn freely due to seal
drag. However, if the input shaft is
difficult to turn or if rotation is not
smooth, damage may have occurred
during shipping.
Storing Your Pump Short-Term
If your Sundyne pump is not to be installed
immediately but within the next 6 months, protect
it from exposure to moisture and dust. The pump
should be left undisturbed in its transportation
packaging and stored in a dry area and not
subjected to vibration.
If removal from the packaging is necessary, the
pump should be stored covered in a clean, dry
area protected from physical damage and
vibration. All flanged and threaded connections
should remain capped.
Note: Observe the storage instructions
provided by the driver manufacturer.
Storing Your Pump Long-Term
In addition to the precautions in the short-term
section above, additional precautions are
required for long-term storage.
If your Sundyne pump will not be operated for a
period of time exceeding six months from the
date of shipment, long-term storage conditions
must be met to prevent corrosion damage to the
fluid-end components.
Note: Sundyne does not accept liability for
equipment damaged during the storage
period. Sundyne does not guarantee
the quality of equipment during and
after the storage period.
To ensure the original quality of the Sundyne
pump after storage, all components must be
inspected by an authorized Sundyne service
engineer. Components that are not
manufactured by Sundyne (except mechanical
seals) must be inspected by its own
manufacturer.
Note: Any inspection fees are the sole
responsibility of the purchaser.
