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 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 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 Bearing housing [3200]
Insert either a sling or hook through the lifting lug
located on the top of the housing.
2.3.1.3 Power end
Same as bearing housing.
2.3.1.4 Bare pump
Sling through the pump adapter and around the outboard
end of the bearing housing with separate slings. Choker
hitches must be used at both attachment points and
pulled tight. The sling lengths should be adjusted to
balance the load before attaching the lifting hook.
Figure 2-1
2.3.2 Lifting pump, motor and baseplate assembly
If the baseplate has lifting holes cut in the sides at the
end (Type D and Type E bases) insert lifting S hooks at
the four corners and use slings or chains to connect to
the lifting eye. (Figure 2-1.) Do not use slings through
the lifting holes.
For other baseplates, sling through the pump adapter,
and around the outboard end of the motor frame using
choker hitches pulled tight (Figure 2-1.). The sling
should be positioned so the weight is not carried
through the motor fan housing.
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave flange covers in place to
keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. Turn the pump shaft at regular intervals to
prevent brinelling of the bearings and the seal faces,
if fitted, from sticking.
