1.2 Transport and storage
1.2.1
Delivery
A pump is either dispatched as an individual unit (bare shaft pump) or mounted complete
with drive unit on a bedplate (pump-set). In either case, any exposed machined parts are
coated with a suitable rust inhibitor.
Each pump is supplied complete with inlet and outlet flanges and gaskets, drive key, and
with the bearing cylinder charged with grease.
The packing or boxing will always be more than adequate for the method of shipment and
subsequent storage.
On receipt of the pump, check that the items listed on the consignment list have been
supplied and have not been damaged in transit. Ensure that the inlet and outlet apertures
are clear and that the impeller runs freely when the shaft is turned by hand.
If the pump has been disassembled for shipment, a consignment list will contain complete
information on the identification of parts. Where parts are boxed, each box is numbered
and the corresponding number is noted on the consignment list.
If damage has occurred or any items are missing, immediately file a report with the carrier
making the delivery. Also, submit a written report to Metso Minerals detailing the damage
and/or missing items, as soon as possible.
