3 TRANSPORTATION,
STORAGE AND LIFTING
LPP-T pumps are delivered in a transport container. Use the
original container for storing and transporting the pump
until the final installation. Store the pump and spare parts in
a clean, dry and cool place protected from sunlight. Before
unpacking the pump from the transport box, ensure that
the pump foundation is finished and of the correct size and
materials.
Pumps of certain sizes are delivered equipped with transport
supports to ensure stability of the pumps. The transport
supports must not be removed until the pump has been
secured to its foundation. For further instructions, see
Chapter 4: ‘Installation.’
If the pump unit is stored for a long time after use, carry out
the following procedures:
• Remove all medium from the pump hose.
• Remove the hose from the pump, or release the hose
compression to prevent fatigue of the hose during
storage.
• Clean the pump housing.
• Store the pump in a clean, dry and cool place +5 - +20 °C
(+41 - +68 °F) protected from sunlight.
WARNING!
Falling load hazard. Lift the pump only with approved
lifting equipment of sufficient carrying capacity. Always
follow the instructions of the lifting equipment manuals.
