RECEIVING
PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE PUMP STATION
Each Floboy Pumping System is shipped on a
wooden pallet and is enclosed in either a
cardboard box or shrink wrap. It will probably
arrive in an enclosed van or semi-trailer which will
require specialized equipment, such as a fork lift,
to off-load. Please remember, it is your
responsibility to provide a safe and secure means
to remove this equipment from the carrier's
vehicle. Once you take possession of the pump
station, the freight carrier is no longer responsible
for damage due to mishandling.
CAUTION
Caution: This equipment is heavy. Do not
attempt to pick it up or move it manually.
Bodily injury may result.
INSPECTING THE SHIPMENT
Inspect the pump station for damaged goods
prior to accepting shipment. Note all damages or
missing components on the "Bill of Lading".
Note: When the pump station arrives, it is your
responsibility to inspect this equipment for
damage or lost goods prior to signing the
carrier's freight bill.
Should you notice shorted or damaged goods, you
must make a notation to that effect on the face of
the "freight bill" and keep a copy so a claim can be
processed with the freight company. If you give
the freight company a clear receipt for goods that
have been damaged or lost in transit you do so at
your own risk and expense.
If you receive the pump station and subsequently
discover damaged equipment or lost goods that
were concealed by the packaging you must
contact the freight company immediately. Do not
proceed with the system's installation until the
freight company has inspected this equipment. A
"Concealed Damage Report" must be made within
15 days of receiving the equipment or any claim of
loss will not be honored.
The factory will assist you in every possible
manner to collect a claim for loss or damage but
be advised that the laws of interstate commerce
make it your responsibility to file, process and
collect all claims directly from the freight company
or its agent.
UNPACKING AND STORING THIS EQUIPMENT
When cutting the packaging with a knife or razor,
take care not to scratch the paint on the metal
enclosure. If the pump station is to be stored for
any period of time, make certain it is left in a
secure location, preferably one which is free of
excessive moisture and freezing conditions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Locate the pumping system in a clean, well
ventilated, and properly drained location. It is
recommended that the location selected facilitates
ease of inspection, maintenance, and service.
Outside installation requires protection from
freezing.
The factory recommends positioning the Floboy
Pumping System on a concrete slab that provides
a permanent and supportive base. The system
should be positioned as close to the intended
source of water as possible. For systems lifting
water from a lake or pond, the pump station
elevation should be close to the water surface
elevation. In most cases the pump site should
never be more than five feet above the minimum
water elevation as long as this elevation is above
the normal flood plane.
