2.3.1.3 Power end
Same as bearing housing.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
2.3.1.4
Bare pump
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.
Figure 2.1
2.3.1.5 Lifting pump, motor and baseplate
assembly
If the baseplate has lifting holes cut in the sides at the
end insert lifting S hooks at the four corners and use
slings or chains to connect to the lifting eye as shown in
Figure 2-2. Do not use slings through the lifting holes.
Figure 2.2
For other baseplates, sling around the pump discharge
nozzle, and around the outboard end of the motor frame
using choker hitches pulled tight. (Figure 2-1.)
Figure 2.3
The sling should be positioned so the weight is not
carried through the motor fan housing. 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.
2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry location
away from vibration. Leave flange covers in place to
keep dirt and other foreign material out of pump
casing. Turn the pump shaft at regular intervals to
prevent brinelling of the bearings.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.4.1
Short term storage
Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump
and parts during shipment and for dry, indoor storage
for up to six months or less. The following is an
overview of our normal packaging:
•
All loose unmounted items are packaged in a
water proof plastic bag and placed under the
coupling guard. Larger items are boxed and
metal banded to the baseplate. For pumps not
mounted on a baseplate, the bag and/or box is
placed inside the shipping container.
•
Inner surfaces of the bearing housing, shaft (area
through bearing housing) and bearings are coated
with Cortec VCI-329 rust inhibitor, or equal.
Bearing housings are not filled with oil
prior to shipment.)
