4. Transportation and Storage
information for carriers
4.1 Transportation and Handling of Packed Product
The electric pumps are packed in cartons or wooden crates having different dimensions and shapes.
WARNING
The wooden crates, are designed to be transported and handled in the horizontal position.
Protect the product against humidity, heat sources and mechanical damage (collisions, falls, …). Do not place heavy weights.
Lift and handle the product carefully, using suitable lifting equipment. Observe all the accident prevention regulations.
When you receive the pump/electric pump, check the outside of the package for evident signs of damage. If the product bears visible signs of damage,
notify our distributor within 8 days from the delivery date.
Ambient temperature -5°C to +40°C .
The product must be securely harnessed for lifting and handling. Some electric pumps have eyebolts that can be used for this purpose.
4.2 Wooden Crate
Open the cover, pay attention to the nails and straps. The pump/electric pump is secured to one of the sides by bolts or straps. Unpack the pump/electric
pump and check it for any visible signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation and storage.
4.2.1 Disposal of Packing Materials
I you cannot utilize the packing container for other purposes, dispose of it according to the sorted waste disposal regulations locally in force.
5. Installationin
formation for installers
The installation operations must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.
Use suitable equipment and protections. Observe the accident prevention regulations in force
Carefully read the installation limits specified in section 3.1.6
Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, legislation and codes in force relating to the selection of the installation site and the water and power
connections.
5.1.1 Position
Make sure that no obstructions or obstacles hinder the normal flow of the cooling air delivered by the motor fan. Make sure there is adequate clearance
around the pump for the maintenance operations. Whenever possible, raise the pump slightly from the level of the floor.
5.1.2 Anchoring
Anchor the electric pump securely with bolts to a concrete foundation or equivalent metal structure (shelf or platform). If the electric pump is large-sized
and needs to be installed near rooms inhabited by people, suitable vibration-damping supports should be provided to prevent the transmission of the
vibrations from the pump to the reinforced concrete structure.
5.1.3 Selecting the Suction and Delivery Pipes
Use pipes suited to the pumps’ maximum working pressure.
In case of an open circuit, make sure that the diameter of the suction pipe is suited to the installation conditions and that it is not smaller than the
diameter of the suction port. Refer to the illustrations in section 3.1.3
5.1.4 Selecting the Foot Valve
Install a foot valve at the end of the suction pipe if the level of the liquid source is lower than the pump’s. Refer to the illustrations in section 3.1.3
5.1.5 Selecting the Electric Control Panel
The motors must be suitably protected against overload and short circuits.
WARNING
Make sure that the panel’s electric ratings match those of the electric pump. Improper combinations may cause problems and fail
to guarantee the protection of the electric motor.
WARNING
Avoid the possibility of dry running, i.e. the pump must not run without water inside it. Make sure that the electric panel is
equipped with a dry running protection system to which you must connect a pressure switch or float switch or sensors or other
suitable device.
If you use thermal relays, we recommend those that are sensitive to phase failure.
