Danger from falling over!
Never put down the product unsecured. If the
product falls over, injury can occur!
• The product has to be stored at a place free from vi-
brations and agitation to avoid damage from the ball
bearings.
• It is also necessary to pay attention to the storage.
The device should be stored in dry rooms without
temperature fluctuation.
• The product may not be stored in rooms where weld-
ing work is conducted as the resulting gases and ra-
diation can damage the elastomer parts and coatings.
• It is responsible to take care that the corrosion coat-
ing will not be spoiled
• Any suction or pressure connections on products
should be closed tightly before storage to prevent
impurities.
• The power supply cables should be protected against
kinking, damage and moisture.
Beware of electrical current!
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal inju-
ry! Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
Beware of damp!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and
render them useless. Therefore, never immerse ca-
ble ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.
• The machine must be protected from direct sunlight,
heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can cause con-
siderable damage to propellers, rotors and coatings.
• The rotors or propellers must be turned at regular
intervals. This prevents the bearing from locking and
the film of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is re-
newed. This also prevents the gear pinions (if present
on the product) from becoming fixed as they turn and
also renews the lubricating film on the gear pinions
(preventing rust film deposits).
Beware of sharp edges!
Sharp edges can form on rotors and propellers.
There is a risk of injuries. Wear protective gloves.
• If the product has been stored for a long period of
time it should be cleaned of impurities such as dust
and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and propellers
should be checked for smooth running, housing coat-
ing and damage.
• After storage longer than one year the oil of motor
and, if necessary the gear have to be changed. This
is also necessary if the product never had run (natural
deterioration of mineral oil).
Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, cooling fluid
etc.) of the individual products should be checked and
topped up if required. Please refer to the machine data
sheet for specifications on filling. Damaged coatings
should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that
is completely intact fulfills the criteria for intended
usage!

If these rules are observed, your product can be stored
for a longer period. Please remember that elastomer parts
and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is
to be stored for longer than 6 months, we recommend
checking these parts and replacing them as necessary.
Please consult the manufacturer.

4.4. Returning to the supplier

Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean
and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means
that impurities have been removed and decontaminat-
ed if it has been used with materials which are hazard-
ous to health. The packaging must protect the product
against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!

4.5. Unloading of big pumps

Big pumps are specially packed for transport. Follow these
steps to avoid damaging the pump:
Danger! Floating load! Observe all rules and laws for
work with heavy and floating loads.
• Place the packaging on a solid ground. Two lifting de-
vices must be at the location.
• Fix the first transport belt at the pump housing and at
the first lifting devices.
• Fix the second transport belt at both eyes of the mo-
tor housing cover and at the second lifting devices.
• The lifting devices must be dimensioned to lift the
pump with any remaining pumped media in it.
• Tauten both transport belts and remove the transpor-
tation straps.
• Lift the pump slowly and hold it in balance.
• Remove the packaging and the locking device (if ex-
isting). Removing of locking device is descripting on
the next Chapter.
• Turn the pump with both lifting devices in vertical po-
sition.
• If the pump is in vertical position, place the pump on
the ground and protect the pump from tilting over.
