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 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
A crane must be used for all pump sets in
excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations.
Pumps with drivers over approximately 7.5 kW, are
supplied with the pump packed as a separate item
from the driver. These should be lifted separately
into their installed position, using lifting points on the
pump soleplate, and on the motor.
When lifting pumps with drivers fitted,
the resulting center of gravity may be above the lifting
points, and the method of slinging must prevent the
machine tipping during the lift. Slings, ropes and
other lifting gear must be positioned where they
cannot slip and where a balanced lift is obtained.
For improved stability unbolt the driver and lift the
driver and pump separately.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave piping connection covers in
place to keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. Turn pump at intervals to prevent brinelling of
the bearings and the seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
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 requirements. If the
product contains substances that 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 that may be used in
the "seal system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safely and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the current
regulations at all times.
