4.3 Uncrating and Cleaning
If the unit appears undamaged proceed to uncrate following the instructions given below:
• Clean all the parts of any dirt, packing material or other foreign matter.
• Flush the pump inside and outside with clean water or a fluid compatible with pumpage. If the pump is
for potable water, a lightly chlorinated flush may be recommended.
• Clean all machined surfaces as these are coated with a rust preventative before shipment, which must
be removed.
• Remove any rust spots found on the machined surfaces with a fine emery cloth.
• Clean all threaded connections and any accessory equipment.

Refer to Figure 4-1 on page 15.
NOTICE
Parts and accessories may be placed inside shipping containers or attached to skids in
individual packages. Inspect all containers, crates and skids for attached parts before
discarding.
