its completeness and that there has been no damage
in transportation. Any shortage and/or damage must
be reported immediately to Flowserve and must be
received in writing within one month of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes or wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.
Each pump/wet end has a unique serial number.
Check that this number corresponds with that
advised. Always use this number in correspondence
and 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
A crane must be used for all pump sets or
components in excess of 25 kg (55 lb.). Fully trained
personnel must carry out lifting, in accordance with
local regulations. Slings, ropes and other lifting gear
should be positioned where they cannot slip and
where a balanced lift is obtained. The angle between
sling or ropes used for lifting must not exceed 60°.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
Pumps and motors often have integral
lifting lugs or eye bolts. These are intended for use in
only lifting the individual piece of equipment.
Do not use eye bolts or cast-in lifting
lugs to lift pump, motor and baseplate assemblies.
Care must be taken to lift components
or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping.
2.3.1 Lifting Wet-End
The wet end should be lifted by sling around the pump
discharge nozzle using a choker hitch pulled tight as
shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1
2.3.2 Lifting pump and motor assembly
For pump and motor, sling around the pump discharge
nozzle, and around the outboard end of the motor frame
using choker hitches pulled tight. The sling should be
positioned so the weight is not carried through the
motor fan housing. (Figure 2-2)

2.3.3 Lifting pump, motor and baseplate
assembly
If the baseplate has lifting holes cut in the sides at the
end (Type D, Type E bases and Type A when provided)
insert lifting S hooks at the four corners and use slings
or chains to connect to the lifting eye. Do not use slings
through the lifting holes.
For other baseplates, sling around the pump discharge
nozzle, and around the outboard end of the motor frame
using choker hitches pulled tight. The sling should be
positioned so the weight is not carried through the
motor fan housing. (Figure 2-3)
