4. Package, Transport, Storage

4.1. Delivery

On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for damage and a check made that all parts are present. If any
parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or the manufacturer must be informed on the day of
delivery. Any claim made at a later date will be deemed invalid. Damage to parts must be noted on the delivery or
freight documentation.

4.2. Transport

Only the appropriate and approved fastening devices, transportation means and lifting equipment may be used.
These must have sufficient load bearing capacity to ensure that the product can be transported safety. If chains
are used they must be secured against slipping.
The personnel must be qualified for the tasks and must follow all applicable national safety regulations during the
work.
The product is delivered by the manufacturer/shipping agency in suitable packaging. This normally precludes the
possibility of damage occurring during transport and storage. The packaging should be stored in a safe place if
the location used is changed frequently.

4.3. Storage

Newly supplied products are prepared that they can be stored for 1 year. The product should be cleaned
thoroughly before interim storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for storage:

Place the product on a firm surface and secure it against falling over. Submersible mixers and
auxiliary lifting devices should be stored horizontally, submersible sewage pumps and submersible
motor pumps should be stored horizontally or vertically. It should be ensured that they cannot bend
if stored horizontally.
Danger from falling over!
Never put down the product unsecured. If the product falls over, injury can occur!

The product has to be stored at a place free from vibrations and agitation to avoid damage from the
ball bearings.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the storage. The device should be stored in dry rooms without
temperature fluctuation.

The product may not be stored in rooms where welding work is conducted as the resulting gases
and radiation can damage the elastomer parts and coatings.

It is responsible to take care that the corrosion coating will not be spoiled

Any suction or pressure connections on products should be closed tightly before storage to prevent
impurities.

The power supply cables should be protected against kinking, damage and moisture.
Beware of electrical current!
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal injury! Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
Beware of damp!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and render them useless. Therefore, never immerse cable
ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.

The machine must be protected from direct sunlight, heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can cause
considerable damage to propellers, rotors and coatings.

The rotors or propellers must be turned at regular intervals. This prevents the bearing from locking
and the film of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is renewed. This also prevents the gear
pinions (if present on the product) from becoming fixed as they turn and also renews the lubricating
film on the gear pinions (preventing rust film deposits).
Beware of sharp edges!
Sharp edges can form on rotors and propellers. There is a risk of injuries. Wear protective gloves.

If the product has been stored for a long period of time it should be cleaned of impurities such as
dust and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and propellers should be checked for smooth running,
housing coating and damage.
