Prior to use
2.1.
Receiving inspection
Although precaution is taken by us when packing and shipping, we urge you to carefully check
the shipment on receipt. Make sure that all parts and accessories listed on the packing list are
accounted for. Immediately report any damage or shortage to the transport company and to
us. Verify that bolts and nuts have not loosened.
2.2.
Specification inspection
Check the nameplate of the pump unit to verify that it is the product that you have ordered.
Pay particular attention to its voltage and frequency specifications.
NOTICE:
If you find any damage or discrepancy, contact Tapflo.
WARNING:
Do not use the product under conditions other than those specified. Doing so
may lead to short, electrical shock, or fire, or might inhibit the product from attaining its
full capabilities.
2.3.
Lifting and transportation
WARNING:
➢
Always use at least two slings and make sure they are secured in such a way to prevent
the pump from slipping and that the pump unit is hanging straight.
➢
Never lift the pump with only one sling. Incorrect lifting can cause serious injury and/or
damage to the pump.
➢
Always lift the pump by handles.
➢
Never lift the pump under pressure.
➢
Be careful that nobody passes under the pump when lifted.
➢
Always disconnect electrical power before handling the pump.
CAUTION:
➢
Never lift the pump by the electric cable. Doing so may cause a short, electrical shock,
or fire.
➢
Pay special attention to the electric cable during transport so that it does not get
jammed and get pulled.
2.4.
Storage
If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location. The pump
should be stored in an ambient temperature of 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F)
. It should not be
exposed to any heat source e.g. radiator, sun as this could result in a negative way on the
tightness of the pump. Cover the pump strainer and discharge connection to keep pump
internals free of debris. Clean the pump thoroughly before installation. See also chapter
