2.1 Pumps with Castors
Some pump models are provided with a base frame equipped with four swiv-
elling castors with an integrated adjustable foot and a device for fastening a
drawbar.
The pump is equipped with four swivelling castors for moving, but the pump
must only be transported with a forklift or crane as described in Section 2.
When moving the pump with a forklift or alike, ensure that the pump is
secured on the supplied palette or a suitable palette.
The drawbar is not included in the delivery but is available as an accessory.
The drawbar facilitates moving the pump in confined spaces. The pump must
only be moved on a level floor!
Moving to pump along sloping paths or ramps is prohibited!
At the installation location unscrew with the adjustable feet so that the pump
is maintained horizontally, see fig. 2.2.
2.2 Storing the Pump
Before putting the pump into storage, purge the pump before switching off
with an inert gas or air (depending on the specific application) for approxima-
tely 15 minutes.
Place a bag with desiccant in the discharge flange and onto the intake
screen in the inlet flange, and seal off the flanges with foil. Do not place the
desiccant, without the intake screen, directly into the inlet flange.
When shelving the pump for prolonged periods, drain out of the oil from the
pump.
Package in the pump air-tight in polyethylene foil.
