INSTALLATION
2.1
RECEIVING PUMP
On receipt of pump, a visual check should be made to determine if any damage has occurred in transit.
Typical points to look for, are:
a. Broken or cracked equipment e.g. base plate, motor, pump feet and flanges.
b. Bent shafts.
c. Damaged motor end bells, bent eyebolts or damaged boxes.
d. Missing items.
Loose parts are often wrapped individually and/or fastened to the equipment. If any damage or losses have
occurred notify the transit company immediately and PEERLESS PUMP COMPANY.
When unloading pump units, only lift using the lifting eyes on the base plate or support frame. DO NOT
USE THE LIFTING POINTS ON THE PUMP OR MOTOR
Pump and motor shafts are in alignment when shipped, however the alignment must be re-checked before
use.
2.2
TEMPORARY STORAGE
If the pump is not to be installed immediately it should be stored in a clean, dry area, with protection from
moisture, dust, dirt and foreign bodies. In particular, the following action should be taken:
a. Ensure the bearings are packed with the recommended grease, to prevent moisture from
entering around the shaft.
b. Remove the glands, packing and lantern rings from the stuffing box, where soft packed sealing is
used.
c. Check that the pump suction and discharge ports are covered to prevent foreign objects entering.
d. If, for a short period only, the pump has to be stored outside it should be covered to protect it
from the effects of the weather.
e. Every 6 weeks, rotate the pump shaft to prevent bearing pitting.
