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 thirty (30) calendar days 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 Rear cover [1220]
Insert an eye hook in the drilled and tapped hole on
the face of the cover. Use either a sling or hook
through the eye bolt.
2.3.1.3 Bearing housing [3200]
Group A and 1: insert a sling between the upper and
lower support ribs between the housing barrel and
the casing attachment flange. Use a choker hitch
when slinging. (Make sure there are no sharp edges
on the bottom side of the ribs that could cut the sling.)
Group B, C and 2: insert either a sling or hook
through the lifting lug located on the top of the
housing.
2.3.1.4 Power end
Same as bearing housing.
2.3.1.5 Bare pump
Horizontal pumps: sling around the pump discharge
nozzle and around the outboard end of the bearing
housing with separate slings. Choker hitches must be
used at both attachment points and pulled tight. Make
sure the completion of the choker hitch on the discharge
nozzle is toward the coupling end of the pump shaft as
shown in Figure 2-1. The sling lengths should be
adjusted to balance the load before attaching the lifting
hook. Pump models with non standard flanges can not
accommodate a sling around the discharge nozzle;
when lifting these pumps an individual trained in
properly lifting equipment must be consulted.
