4. Packaging, Transport and Storage
4.1. Delivery
After receipt, the shipment must be checked for damage
and completeness immediately. In the event of any de-
ficiencies, the transport company and the manufacturer
must be informed on the day of receipt, as no claims can
otherwise be made or considered valid. Any damage must
be noted on the delivery or transport receipt.
4.2. Transport
Do not throw or tip the lifting unit during transport.
Make sure that the lifting unit does not come into con-
tact with sharp edges. Protect the lifting unit from heavy
blows. The products are shipped in suitable packaging
by the manufacturer or supplier. This generally excludes
damage during transport and storage. Should you change
locations frequently, save the packaging carefully for re-
use.
4.3. Storage
Newly delivered products are prepared for up to 1 year of
storage. If the product is being placed in interim storage, it
must be thoroughly cleaned before being stored!
The following must be observed for storage:
•
Place product securely on a fixed base and secure
against tipping over.
•
In addition, ensure that the equipment is stored in
dry areas.
•
Products with vacuum and/or pressure connections
must have these tightly closed to prevent contami-
nation.
•
During extended storage the shaft must be protected
against moisture, sunlight, heat and frost.
If you observe these regulations, your product can be
stored for a longer period of time. However, note that the
elastomer parts and coatings are subject to natural em-
brittlement.
4.4. Materials returned
Products that are returned to the factory must be clean
and correctly packaged. „Clean" means that the product
has been cleaned of contaminations and that it has been
contaminated in the event of use with mediums that are
hazardous to health. The packaging must protect the prod-
uct from damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning the product.

5. Installation and commissioning
5.1. General
The following points must be noted to prevent damages
in the lifting device during installation and commissioning:
•
The installation work must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with the safety regulations.
•
The lifting device must be checked for possible dam-
ages prior to installation.
•
The minimum submersion in water must be consid-
ered for level control.
•
Protect the pump from frost.
•
The power lines of the pump must run in a way that
hazard-free operation and easy assembly/disassem-
bly is possible.
•
A dry run is strictly prohibited. We recommend level
control for this.
5.2. Fitting
Consequential damages, for example, due to flooding of
areas with problems at the pump, must be excluded by
the operator with suitable counter measures (e.g. alarm
system installation, spare pump, etc.).
The lifting unit must be installed so that the lid can be
opened. Be sure to allow sufficient space between the
vertical/horizontal inlets and existing walls.
Drainage facilities whose lowest point of the odor trip is
deeper than 180 mm from the lower edge of the lifting
unit must be connected to the system via a suitable pipe
loop at least 180 mm long in accordance with the stan-
dards.
