2 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 Pump Division
and must be received in writing within ten days 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 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
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.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
Care must be taken to lift components
or assemblies above the center of gravity to prevent
the unit from flipping. This is especially true with
In-Line pumps.
2.3.1 Lifting pump components
2.3.1.1 Casing [1100]
Use a choker hitch pulled tight around the discharge
nozzle.
2.3.1.2 Rear cover [1220]
Insert an eye hook in the drilled and tapped hole at
the top of the cover. Use either a sling or hook
through the eye bolt.
2.3.1.3 Bearing housing [3200]
Group 1: insert a sling between the upper and lower
support ribs between the housing barrel and the
casing attachment flange. Use a choker hitch when
slinging. (Make sure there are no sharp edges on the
bottom side of the ribs that could cut the sling.)
Group 2 and 3: insert either a sling or hook through
the lifting lug located on the top of the housing.
2.3.1.4 Power end
Same as bearing housing.
2.3.1.5 Bare pump
Horizontal pumps: sling around the pump discharge
nozzle and around the outboard end of the bearing
housing with separate slings. Choker hitches must be
used at both attachment points and pulled tight. Make
sure the completion of the choker hitch on the discharge
nozzle is toward the coupling end of the pump shaft as
shown in figure 2-1. The sling lengths should be adjusted
to balance the load before attaching the lifting hook.
Figure 2-1
In-Line pumps : lift with two slings through the pump
adapter on opposite sides of the shaft. (Figure 2-2.)
Bare pump with motor adapter (In-Line only): lift with
two slings through the motor adapter shaft holes.
This method is also used to lift the bare motor
adapter. (Figure 2-2.)
