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. (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 18kg or more.
Lift the STP pump with an eyebolt 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 10)
A crane, eyebolts, and rope due to lifting operations should withstand the load of three times or more
the weight of the STP pump. Use an eyebolt which confirms to ISO03266.
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.
