RECEIVING THE PUMP

Inspect the pump as soon as it is received. Carefully check that everything is in good order. Make notes of damaged or missing items on the receipt and freight bill. File any claims with the transportation company as soon as possible.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

Short Term: (Less than 6 months) normal packaging procedure is designed to protect the pump during shipping. Upon receipt, store in a covered and dry location.

Long Term: (More than 6 months) Preservative treatment of bearings and machined surfaces will be required. Rotate shaft several times every 3 months.

Refer to driver and coupling manufacturers for their long term storage procedures. Store in a covered dry location.

NOTE: Long term storage treatment can be purchased with the initial pump order or can be applied to pumps already in the field that were not treated at the factory. 

Pump and components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support equipment could result in

serious physical injury or damage to pumps. Steel toed shoes must be worn at all times.

Use care when moving pumps. Lifting equipment must be able to adequately support the entire assembly. Hoist bare pump using a suitable sling,under the suction flange and bearing frame. Baseplate mounted units are moved with slings under the pump casing and driver. Refer to Figs. 4-7 for examples of proper lifting techniques.
