2.2 Transportation guidelines
Precautions
WARNING:
• Observe accident prevention regulations in force.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy.
Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all
times.
Check the gross weight that is indicated on the package in order to select
proper lifting equipment.
Position and fastening
The unit can be transported either horizontally or vertically. Make sure that
the unit is securely fastened during transportation, and cannot roll or fall
over.
WARNING:
Do not use eyebolts screwed on the motor for handling the
whole electric pump unit.
For more information about how to securely harness the unit, see Figure 4.
Unit without motor
If the unit is not delivered with a motor, the calibrated fork-shaped shim is
already inserted between the adapter and the transmission coupling. The
shim is inserted to keep the impeller stack in the correct axial position. In
order to prevent damage during transportation the shaft is also held into
place with expanded polystyrene and plastic straps.
10
The bolt and nuts used to fasten the motor are not included. For more in-
formation about how to couple the motor, see Figure 26.
WARNING:
A pump and motor that are purchased separately and then cou-
pled together results in a new machine under the Machinery di-
rective 2006/42/EC. The person making the coupling is respon-
sible for all safety aspects of the combined unit.

3 Product Description

3.1 Pump design
This is a vertical, multistage, non-self priming pump, which can be coupled
to standard electric motors.
The product is capable of pumping water at high temperatures by the fol-
lowing methods:
• The SV-H version uses a special flushing device to move water to a dedi-
cated mechanical seal.
• The SV-B version uses a heat exchange chamber to keep the mechanical
seal at 100°C.
Series Material
SV-H AISI 316, AISI 304, or cast iron
SV-B AISI 316
Both versions have been enhanced with stronger frames and improved hy-
draulics.
The product can be supplied as a pump unit (pump and electric motor) or
only as a pump.
NOTICE:
If you have purchased a pump without motor, make sure that the motor is
suitable for coupling to the pump.
Mechanical seal
CAUTION:
Always wear protective gloves when handling the pumps and
motor. When pumping hot liquids, the pump and its parts may
exceed 40°C (104°F).
