2. Receiving the product
2.1 Inspecting the product
The pump is delivered from the factory in a crate or
wooden box specially designed for transport by a
forklift truck or a similar vehicle.
Upon receipt, check the pump visually to determine
whether any damage has happened to it during
transport or handling.
Check especially for these points:
1. broken or cracked equipment, including base
frame, motor or pump feet and flanges
2. broken motor fan cover, bent eyebolts or
damaged terminal box
3. missing parts.
Parts or accessories are sometimes wrapped
individually or fastened to the equipment.
If any damage or losses have occurred, promptly
notify Grundfos' representative and the carrier's agent
at once.
Bolts for LS bare shaft pumps have US
threads for which inch tools are required.
Bolts for coupling guard and for mounting
of pump and motor on the base frame
have metric threads.
2.2 Temporary storage
If you do not install or operate the pump soon after
arrival, store it in a clean, dry place with slow,
moderate changes in ambient temperature. Protect
the pump from moisture, dust, dirt and foreign bodies.
Avoid exposing the motor to direct, intense sunlight,
rain, snow, ice and also dust for an extended period
of time. Attach a covering structure or an additional
cover when using or storing the product outdoors.
Follow these precautions before and during storage:
1. Make sure that the bearings are filled with the
recommended grease to prevent moisture from
entering around the shaft. See section
Lubrication.
2. Make sure that the inlet and outlet ports and all
other openings are covered with cardboard, wood
or masking tape to prevent foreign objects from
entering the pump.
3. Cover the unit with a tarpaulin or other suitable
covering if it is to be stored without a protective
covering.
4. Rotate the shaft two turns every two weeks to
prevent corrosion of the bearing surfaces and the
stuffing box or sticking of the shaft seal faces.
