3. Delivery and handling

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
pos. 7 in fig. 1. If the protective cap is defective,
contact your nearest Grundfos company.

3.1 Transporting the product

All lifting equipment must be rated for the purpose
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 forklift truck if the pump is
fixed on a pallet.
Never lift the pump by means of the motor
cable or the hose or pipe.
The polyurethane-embedded plug prevents water
from penetrating into the motor via the motor cable.

3.2 Storing the product

For long periods of storage, the pump must be
protected against moisture, heat and temperatures
below -25 °C.
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.

3.3 Lifting the product

When lifting the pump, use the right lifting point to
keep the pump balanced. Place the lifting chain hook
in point A for auto-coupling installations and in point
B for other installations. See fig. 2.
