7. Transportation and storage

The pump may be transported and stored in a
vertical or horizontal position. Make sure that the
pump cannot roll or fall over.
Check that the protective cap for the level sensor
has not been damaged during transportation.
See fig. 1 (pos. 7). If the protective cap is defective,
contact your nearest Grundfos company.

and checked for damage before any attempts to lift
the pump. The lifting equipment rating must under no
circumstances be exceeded. The pump weight is
stated on the pump nameplate.
Warning
Always lift the pump by its lifting
bracket or by means of a fork-lift truck
if the pump is fixed to a pallet. Never lift
the pump by means of the motor cable
or the hose/pipe.

from penetrating into the motor via the motor cable.
For long periods of storage, the pump must be
protected against moisture and heat.
After a long period of storage, the pump should be
inspected before it is put into operation. Make sure
that the impeller can rotate freely. Pay special
attention to the shaft seal, cable entry and sensors.
