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 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
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.
Before lifting the driver alone, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2.4 Storage
Store the unit in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave protective covers and
plugs in place to keep dirt and other foreign material
out of the unit. Turn shaft at intervals to prevent false
brinelling of the bearings.
The unit 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.
