Installation and operating instructions WILO Mather and Platt – VT pumps 19
To lift the pump see lifting diagrams - see also general
safety Information, Point 2). These must have sufficient
load bearing capacity to ensure that the product can be
transported safely.
3.2 Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for
Damage and a check made 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 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’s 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.
• 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.
• Heavy components must be placed on supports to kept them
off the ground
• Shafting must be removed from the boxes & coated with
preservative, then re-boxed with preservative paper.
3.4 Pump returning back to the supplier
