Flow HYPLEX - Shipping and Storage Preparation

Preparing the pump
for shipping or storage
Whenever a Flow pump is moved, put into storage,
or shipped, the following guidelines will help prevent
damage caused by movement or environmental condi
-
tions. These instructions comply with transportation
regulations.
Note: U.S. Department of Transportation regulations re
-
quire that crankcase oil be transported only in sealed
containers. Before shipping, remove all crankcase oil
from the reservoir.
Service steps
1. Disconnect power, turn off inlet water, and turn off
air.
2. Disconnect main motor lead terminals from the mo
-
tor starter in the machine power enclosure.
DO NOT
CUT LEADS.
(Motor leads are terminated with eye
lugs and bolted to terminals from the motor starter
primary conductors.)
3. Disconnect the HP interface at the utilities bulk-
head.
4. Remove both filter canisters and empty out any wa-
ter.
5. Reattach the water filter canisters to the filter heads.
6. Remove the hose from the 1 micron filter outlet.
7. Apply compressed air to the 1 micron filter outlet
hose. Expelled water will be visible at the HP inter
-
face connection at the utilities bulkhead. This should
expel most remaining water from the HP and LP cir
-
cuits.
8. Reattach the hose to the 1 micron filter outlet.
9. Drain the water from the inlet water pressure gauge
lines at the end opposite the gauge. Reattach when
all water is expelled.
10. Drain the water from the inlet water line between
the utilities bulkhead and the inlet water shut-off so
-
lenoid valve. Reattach after draining.
Plug fittings
11. Tie wrap the inlet water, drain, and air lines.
Crating
12. The pump must be shipped on a framed and rein
-
forced wooden pallet designed to isolate and sup
-
port its weight and load characteristics.
13. Secure the user interface console and motor starter
box so it cannot vibrate.
14. Wrap a plastic band around the horizontal circum
-
ference of the pump, protecting all corners with
cardboard between the strap and the cover corner.
Wrap an additional plastic band around the top and
under the frame, also protecting corners with card
-
board.
