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
deficiencies, 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 contact 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
contamination.
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 embrittlement.
4.4. Returning to the supplier
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 product from damage. Please contact the manufacturer
before returning the product.
5. Installation and Start-Up
5. Installation and initial operation
5.1 General
To avoid damage to the lifting unit during installation and during operation, the following points must be observed:
The installation work must be performed by qualified personnel in compliance with safety
regulations.
The lifting unit must be inspected for possible damage prior to installation.
For level controls, pay attention to the minimum water coverage.
Protect the pump from frost.
The power lines of the pump must be laid in such a way, that a safe operation and easy
assembly/disassembly is ensured.
5.2 Installation
It is up to the operator to prevent consequential damages, for example by flooding of rooms
during disturbances at the pump, by means of appropriate measures (e.g. installation of an alarm system,
a reserve pump or similar).
