2.0 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/ 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.
Latter claims cannot be accepted.
Check any create/boxes/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 quote 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
Four lifting lugs are provided on the motor to lift the
complete unit.
Take care by applying slings or ropes about
auxiliary piping and seal systems.
A crane must be used for all pump sets in
excess of 25kg (55lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations.
The driver and pump weights are recorded on their
respective nameplates.
2.4 Storage
If the unit will not be put immediately into service, it
should be stored in a dry room. To avoid any damage
during the storage period, the influence of any low or
high frequency vibration must be totally inhibited. If
the pump is delivered sealed in a plastic-wrapper, it is
of max. importance to avoid any damage of that
wrapper, because this will protect the pump against
humidity. Therefore it must be checked if this wrapper
has become cracked and if so, the wrapper must be
renewed.
2.4.1 Long period storage
If the pump is delivered in a plastic bag, the
preservations stands up for one year. If the storage
period exceeds this time, the preservation must be
checked and renewed. Also the air tight plastic bag
must be changed. Moreover we recommend to order
a Flowserve Service Engineer for checking the pump
before the first start up.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local regulations. If the
product contains substances, which are harmful to
the environment, these should be removed and
disposed of in accordance with current regulations.
This also includes the liquids and or gases in the
"seal system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safety and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the current
regulations at all times.
