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 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
Fully trained personnel must carry out lifting,
in accordance with local regulations. The driver
and pump weights are recorded on their
respective General Arrangement Drawing.
A crane must be used for all pump sets,
components and accessories 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 their
respective nameplates.
The pump is fitted with auxiliary
piping. Remove this piping before the pump is
lifted to avoid damage to these pipes and even
the pump. After erection of the pumps this piping
can be re-assembled easily. With every lifting
operation this procedure has to be repeated.
Unsafe lifting is never allowed!
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown. Unless otherwise
specified in the supplementary instructions.
Lift the centrifugal pump by attaching the lifting
cables around that part of the pump casing to
which the bearing pedestals are attached. To
prevent the pump unit from being damaged, use
a spreader.
2.3.1 Lifting the upper half of the pump
casing
Lift the upper half of the pump casing using the
lifting lugs [or holes] attached to this half.
