Lifting and transportation
Before handling the pump check the weight of the pump (see 6.4. Technical data). Refer to
Your local standards on how to handle the pump. If the weight is excessive to transport by
hand it must be lifted using slings and a suitable lifting device e.g. a crane or forklift.
Always use at least two slings and make sure they are secured in such a way to prevent the
pump from slipping and that the pump unit is hanging straight.
Never lift the pump with only one sling. Incorrect lifting can cause serious injury and/or
damage to the pump.
Never lift the pump under pressure.
Be careful that nobody passes under the pump when lifted.
Never try to lift the pump by the hoses attached to the pump.
As an option pumps can be equipped with lifting eyebolts connected with the pump housing.
1.4.
Storage
If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location. The pump
should be stored in an ambient temperature of 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity
below 65%. It should not be exposed to any heat source e.g. radiator, sun as this could result
in a negative way on the tightness of the pump. Do not remove the protective covers from the
suction, discharge and air connections which have been fastened to keep pump internals free
of debris. Clean the pump thoroughly before installation.
1.5.
Foundation
The support of the pump is furnished with mounting holes. Fix the pump on a stable
foundation, which is able to absorb vibrations. It is essential for the operation of the pump to
mount the pump with the feet in a downward direction (see sketch in chapter 1.8 “Błąd! Nie
można odnaleźć źródła odwołania.”).
1.6.
Suction and discharge piping
Suction and discharge piping should be fully supported and anchored near to but independent
of the pump. The piping to the pump should be a hose, to prevent undue stress and strain on
the pump connections and the piping.
