assembled but for overseas orders the
lubricating oil in the bearing housing is
drained. Pumps are protected against
corrosion and packed for transport by normal
road, rail and sea carriers.

Crushing Hazard
When lifting the pump unit, use
lifting equipment having a safe
working load rating suitable for the weight

pump not provided with lifting points.
The use of suitable forklift truck and four-
chain
crane sling equipment is
recommended but locally approved
equipment of suitable rating maybe used.
Pumps supplied on
pallets may be lifted
by forklift truck, to lift
from the pallet the
pump
should be
slung as shown.

2.3.1 Temporary Storage for up to Six Weeks
If the pump unit is not to be used
immediately it should be stored carefully in a

location. Additional rust preventative should
be applied to all unpainted carbon steel or
cast iron parts, and should not be removed
until final installation.

packaging or suction and discharge covers
are removed for inspection purposes,
replace afterwards to protect the pump and
maintain safety.
