Installation and operating instructions WILO Mather and Platt – Sump Pumps 16
3.2 Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for damage
and check that all parts are present.
If any parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or
the manufacturer must be informed on the day of delivery. Any
claim made at a later date will be deemed invalid. Damage to
parts must be noted on the delivery or freight documentation.
3.3 Storage
Our vertical Sump pumps require preparation for storage &
regular maintenance during storage. The pump should be
considered in storage when it has been delivered to the job site
& waiting for installation.
It is suggested that the check of parts & material against the bill
of materials be made jointly with the WILO Mather and Platt
representative & customer representative.
NO CLAIMS FOR SHORTAGES WILL BE HONORED BY
WILO MATHER AND PLATT AFTER THE MATERIAL HAS
BEEN PLACED IN STORAGE.
3.3.1 Short-term storage (less than 3 month)
The equipments as shipped should have adequate protection
for short-term storage in a covered, dry and ventilated location
at the job site prior to installation.
• If the pump is not installed immediately after delivery, it must
be stored in a dry and clean place with sufficient ventilation, no
vibration, no freezing and the temperature variations must be
smooth.
• Bearings and couplings must be protected against sand, dust
and foreign bodies. To avoid corrosion and jamming, please
lubricate the pump and make turn the rotating elements for
several turns at least once a week.
• Pre-packed desiccants may be used to absorb moisture & keep
the pump dry. It must be removed before putting the pump on
operation.
3.3.2 Long-term storage (more than 3 month)
If the equipment will be subject to extended storage condition
prior to installation, then the manufacturer must be informed
about storage duration, so that special protection can be
recommended.
3.4 Pump returning back to the supplier
Products which are delivered back to the plant must be clean
and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means that
impurities have been removed and decontaminated if it has
been used with materials, which are hazardous to health.
The packaging must protect the product against damage.
CAUTION! Guarantee not applicable!
Products, which are not suitably packaged for delivery
back, are no longer covered by guarantee!
3.5 Intended use
The pump supplied is intended for specific fluid. Refer pump
data sheet and order confirmation. For any change in
pumped fluid refer WILO Mather and Platt beforehand. If the
operating conditions are different of the specifications given
in the order, (i.e. type of liquid, temperature or duty point),
the end user must ask a written agreement to WILO Mather
and Platt on the new operating conditions before starting
the pump.
• The machine must be protected from direct sunlight, heat, dust,
and frost.
• The rotors or propellers must be turned at regular intervals. This
prevents the bearing from locking.
• For mechanical seal, we recommend: relative air humidity below
65%, temperature between 15°C and 25°C. Direct exposure of
the mechanical seal to heat (sun, heating) as well as to ozone,
present or produced by ultraviolet light (halogen or fluorescent
lamps), must be avoided because of the risk of embrittlement
of elastomeric materials.
• Heavy components must be placed on supports to keep them
off the ground.
• Shafting must be removed from the boxes & coated with
preservative, then re-boxed with preservative paper.
