4. Transportation and Storage

4.1 Transportation and Handling of Packed Product

The pumps/electric pumps are packed in cartons or wooden crates having different dimensions and shapes.

Some cartons (the supporting base is made of wood) are designed to be transported and handled in the vertical position. Other cartons, as well as the

wooden crates, are designed to be transported and handled in the horizontal position. Protect the product against humidity, heat sources and mechanical

damage (collisions, falls ...). Do not place heavy weights on the cartons.

Lift and handle the product carefully, using suitable lifting equipment. Observe all the accident prevention regulations.

When you receive the pump/electric pump, check the outside of the package for evident signs of damage. If the product bears visible signs of damage, notify

our distributor within 8 days from the delivery date.

4.2 Storing the Packed Product

Ambient temperature -5°C to +40°C .

Some cartons (the supporting base is made of wood) are designed for storage in the vertical position. Other cartons, as well as the wooden crates, are

designed for storage in the horizontal position.

Protect the product against humidity, heat sources and mechanical damage (collisions, falls ...). Do not place heavy weights on the cartons.

4.3 Unpacking the Product

Use suitable equipment. Observe all the accident prevention regulations in force. Lift and handle the product carefully, using suitable lifting equipment.

When you receive the pump/electric pump, check the outside of the package for evident signs of damage. If the product bears visible signs of damage, notify

our distributor within 8 days from the delivery date.

4.3.1 Carton (for transportation in vertical position)

Remove the staples and open the carton. The pump/electric pump is secured to the wooden base by screws.

Be careful not to misplace the bag containing the counterflanges. Check the pump/electric pump for evident signs of damage that may have occurred during

transportation and storage.

4.3.2 Carton (for transportation in horizontal position)

Remove the staples and open the carton. The pump/electric pump is secured to one of the sides by screws or straps. Unpack the pump/electric pump and

check it for any visible signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation and storage.

4.3.3 Wooden Crate (for transportation in horizontal position)

Open the cover, pay attention to the nails and straps. The pump/electric pump is secured to one of the sides by bolts or straps. Unpack the pump/electric

pump and check it for any visible signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation and storage.

4.3.4 Disposal of Packing Materials

I you cannot utilize the packing container for other purposes, dispose of it according to the sorted waste disposal regulations locally in force.

4.4 Handling the Product

Lift and handle the product carefully, using suitable lifting equipment. Observe the accident prevention regulations in force.

The product must be securely harnessed for lifting and handling. Some electric pumps have eyebolts that can be used for this purpose.

5. Installation

The installation operations must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.

Use suitable equipment and protections. Observe the accident prevention regulations in force.. Carefully read the installation limits specified in section 3.1.6

Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, legislation and codes in force relating to the selection of the installation site and the water and power

connections.

5.1.1 Position

Make sure that no obstructions or obstacles hinder the normal flow of the cooling air delivered by the motor fan. Make sure there is adequate clearance around

the pump for the maintenance operations. Whenever possible, raise the pump slightly from the level of the floor. Carefully observe the diagrams provided in

section 11.12.

5.1.2 Anchoring

Anchor the pump/electric pump securely with bolts to a concrete foundation or equivalent metal structure (shelf or platform). If the pump/electric pump is

large-sized and needs to be installed near rooms inhabited by people, suitable vibration-damping supports should be provided to prevent the transmission of

the vibrations from the pump to the reinforced concrete structure. The dimensions of the pump base and anchoring holes are shown in the diagrams in section

11.13.

5.1.3 Selecting the Suction and Delivery Pipes

Use pipes suited to the pumps' maximum working pressure.

In case of an open circuit, make sure that the diameter of the suction pipe is suited to the installation conditions and that it is not smaller than the diameter of

the suction port. Refer to the illustrations in section 3.1.3 and the diagrams in section 11.12.
