Packaging
The packaging conforms to the relevant regulations. The symbols used on the
packages are shown on the right.
The machines are bolted down on a pallet and therefore should not move during
transportation and either cased or shrink wrapped for general protection. The
ancillary components are packed suitably within the case. The packaging and
contents should be received in good condition. When unpacking do not remove
the inlet/outlet protection covers.
The contents should be inspected against the advice note, notify Utile Engineering
within 3 days of any items, which are damaged or are missing, followed by a
written claim within seven days of the goods being delivered.
Storage
If the machine is not required for immediate installation, the machine should be stored in a clean, dry area
protected from the weather. The intake and discharge port covers must remain in position until the machine is
installed. We recommend that the shaft be turned a few revolutions by hand to ensure the machine is running free
every month until the machine is installed.
The green protective coating on the shaft remains effective for approximately 1 year. If the machine is stored for a
longer period of time, the coat must be renewed.
Handling
Skilled personnel working in accordance with safe working practices must carry out the lifting of machines. Before
lifting the correct equipment must be available. Cranes, jacks, slings, and lifting beams must be capable of carrying
the weight of the machine to be lifted. Do not use the shaft extension for lifting or moving the machine.
For weights see above in Technical Specification.
Installation
Before commencing installation, a site specific risk assessment, method statement and hazard identification list
must be completed and adhered to. All work must be carried out in a safe area. Utile Engineering trained personnel
or those trained to an equivalent standard should carry out installation, any claims for damage due to faulty
installation will be void. The machine is delivered ready to be connected, with only the removal of the intake and
discharge protection covers. All warning labels and instructions must be observed and retained with the machine.
Before installation, ensure there is no damage to the machine and that it turns freely by hand.
Typical tools required for installation include: -
Set of spanners
Pipe Wrenches
Set of screwdrivers
Hacksaw
Hammer / mallet
Drill (low voltage)

Location
The machine should be installed in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Allow adequate space and facilities for
service, inspection and future expansion. A minimum of 0.75m of working space around the machine is
recommended. Adequate space around the motor and machine, particularly any fan inlets, is also necessary to
facilitate cooling airflow. Where several machines are installed in close proximity, care must be taken to ensure
there is no recirculation of exhausted warm air.
