4 Pre-installation
4.1 Receiving and Unloading
When receiving the shipment, extreme care must be taken while unloading.
• Use a forklift or crane to unload the equipment.
• Do not drop the unit, or any parts, as damage can cause trouble in assembly and operation of the units.
• Inspect the unit for signs of transit damage before beginning to uncrate or placing in storage. If damage
is evident notify the local transporting company agent before uncrating and file a claim with the agent.
4.2 Storage
• If the unit is to be stored prior to installation, carefully select a storage space where the unit will not be
subjected to excess moisture, extreme weather conditions, corrosive fumes, or other harmful conditions.
• Carefully inspect the unit and clean the rust spots on the machined surfaces with a fine emery cloth.
• Coat machined surfaces with a rust preventative.
• Protect the pump from any dust, dirt, or debris from entering the unit. Wrap all openings with a heavy
gauge polyethylene and tape tightly to seal.
• If the unit is stored for a long period of time it should be periodically inspected and cleaned as required.
• Contact the factory for special long term storage (greater than 4 months) requirements for the unit
supplied.

• Lifting devices must be in good condition, certified, and tagged.
• Lifting devices of adequate capacity must be used whenever they are required.
• Personnel must never work under suspended loads.
DANGER
LIFTING POINT SAFETY
Check that the lifting lugs are in suitable condition for lifting, before lifting pump parts.
