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 Pump Division and
received in writing within one month of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to
sidewalls 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 forklift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.
2.3 Lifting
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted by using lifting equipment certified to
local standards.
The pumps are generally very heavy
therefore, size/shape factors will have to be
considered before attempting to lift them. It is strongly
recommended to attempt lifting from a safe distance
to prevent any injury or loss of life. Consulting with
experts is recommended.
A crane must be used for all pump sets and
components in excess of 25 kg (55 lb.). Fully trained
personnel must carry out lifting, in accordance with
local regulations. If you are not sure about the driver
and pump weights contact Flowserve for information.
Pump heads may be shipped with the seal
housing installed. For ease of assembly and to
prevent damage, we recommend removing the
housing before putting the head on the pump.
For pumps supplied with hollow shaft drivers and
one-piece head shaft, attach head shaft to the
lineshaft with a coupling and tighten first.
For pumps supplied with two piece head shaft or solid
shaft drivers, proceed with the lifting as explained in
2.3.1.
Flowserve will not supply eyebolts neither fixed nor
separately with the pump. It is the responsibility of the
installer to arrange appropriate hardware that can
handle the weights and results in safe and successful
installation.
2.3.1 Lifting of fabricated discharge heads with
or without the pump
If the pump is supplied with a fabricated discharge
head use the 4 points method of lifting as shown in the
details provided below or 2 points method using a
lifting beam. This method is applicable to the lifting of
the discharge head with or without the pump
assembled.
For pump supplied with motor stand already
assembled on the discharge head, the motor stand
lifting points shall not be used for lifting. Lift the pump
using a lifting beam and two of the four discharge
head lifting points.
