2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and
unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must
be checked against the delivery and 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 received in writing
within one month of receipt of the equipment. Later
claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crates, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts which 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
2.2.1 General instructions concerning handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using forklift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.
To lift machines or pieces with one or several
suspension rings, only use hooks and chains in
compliance with the local regulations concerning
safety. Never put cables, chains or ropes directly
on or in the suspension rings. Cables, chains or
lifting ropes must never present excessive
bending.
Never bend the lifting hooks, suspension rings,
chains, etc., which should only be made to endure
stresses within, calculated limits. Remember that
the capacity of a lifting device decreases when the
direction of the lifting force direction makes an
angle with the device axis.
To increase the safety and the efficiency of the
lifting device, all the lifting elements must be as
perpendicular as possible. If necessary a lifting
beam can be placed between the winch and the
load.
When heavy pieces are lifted up, never stay or
work under the load or in the area, which could be
in the path of the load if it were to swing or fall
away.
Never leave a load hanging from a winch. The
acceleration or the slowing-down of lifting
equipment must stay in the safety limits for the
staff.
A winch must be positioned in such a way that the
load will be raised perpendicularly. Where
possible, necessary precautions must be taken to
avoid the swing of the load, using for example two
winches making approximately the same angle,
below 30°, with the vertical.
2.3 Lifting
Make sure that any equipment
used to lift the pump or any of its components is
capable of supporting the weights encountered.
Make sure that all parts are correctly rigged before
attempting to lift.
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. The driver and pump weights are
recorded on general arrangement drawing
included into the job user’s instruction.
2.3.1 To Lift unit
Pump, motor stand and soleplate can be lifted as a
unit. Sling from all lifting lugs provided on motor
stand (rif. Fig. 2.3).
Failure to do this may result in permanent
distortion of the motor stand.
2.3.2 To lift driver
Refer to Manufacturer’s Instructions .
2.3.3 To lift complete pump only
Rig lifting straps around the two nozzles on the
nozzle half casing, and around the two cast lifting
lugs on cover half casing (rif. Fig. 2.1 & 2.2).
Make sure straps are adjusted to obtain an even
lift.
2.3.4 To lift cover half casing
Carefully move away in a horizontal direction the
removable covert half casing to prevent damage to
casing rings and impeller, using dedicated tools to
allow pump casing opening (rif. Fig. 2.4).
2.3.5 To lift pump rotor
Using slings that will not damage shaft, rig around
shaft close to the bearings and to overhead hoist.
Carefully lift rotor from nozzle half casing
