Unpacking the STP pump

Check outer package for damage and that the delivery note corresponds to the purchase order.
Note: It is recommended to keep the packaging materials, such as the corrugated fiberboard
container and cushioning material for possible reuse. If the STP pump is damaged, return it
in its original package and contact Edwards or their distributor.
The STP pumps are heavy products. Observe national laws/regulations, safety
standards and manufacturers instructions when lifting the STP pump.
Lifting devices must be used when lifting or moving the STP pump.
The STP pumps are heavy products. (Refer to "TECHNICAL DATA" in the STP Pump Instruction
Manual (B) for the mass of the STP pump) Use a crane or other appropriate means sufficient enough
to withstand the load when lifting the STP pump of 18 kg or more.
Moreover, use a crane when lifting product of less than 18 kg in unnatural posture or others which
involve excessive tension to low back. Failure to do so might hurt your back or cause injuries due to
occurrence of an accident such as fall.
Lift the STP pump with an eyebolt, eye nut or a similar tool that uses the fitting hole attached to the
inlet port flange. When lifting the pump, use 2 or more ropes. (see Figure 12)
A crane, an eyebolt, and an eye nut due to lifting operations should withstand the load of five times or
more the weight of the STP pump, and rope should be seven time or more. Use an eyebolt, or eye
nut which confirms to ISO 3266.
Lift the STP pump with the aid of a suspension tool under the base when installing the pump without
fitting hole.
Always lift the STP pump in stable places free of excessive shock or vibration to prevent it from
shaking or dropping.
Care should be taken not to scratch the flange of the STP pump. Before installing the STP pump,
check that there are no scratches on the surface.
