2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery and shipping documents
for its completeness and that there has been no
damage in transportation.
Any shortage and or damage must be reported
immediately to Flowserve and received in writing
within one month of receipt of the equipment. Later
claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crates, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts which may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check that
this number corresponds with that advised and
always quotes this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
2.2 Handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using fork-lift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.
2.3 Lifting
Make sure that any equipment used to lift the pump
or any of its components is capable of supporting the
weights encountered. Make sure that all parts are
correctly rigged before attempting to lift.
A crane must be used for all pump sets in
excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations.
The driver and pump weights are recorded on
general arrangement drawing included into the job
user’s instruction.
2.3.1 To Lift unit
Pump, driver and baseplate can be lifted as a unit.
Sling from all four (4) eye bolts provided on baseplate
side rails. Failure to use all four (4) could result in
permanent distortion of the baseplate. Use as long a
sling as possible, or use a spreader arrangement.
Coupling bolting and spacer piece
must be removed from between pump and driver
half couplings before lifting baseplate with
pumping element.
To lift pump and baseplate, less driver, or
baseplate alone, sling from all four (4) eye bolts.

2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave piping connection covers
in place to keep dirt and other foreign material out of
pump casing. Turn pump at intervals to prevent
brinelling of the bearings and the seal faces, if fitted,
from sticking.
Electric Motors (Pump Driver) should not be stored in
damp places without special protection (Refer to
Motor manufacturers instructions).
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months.
