General
SPX magnetic drive centrifugal pumps type MDR are manufactured by SPX Flow
Technology Assen B.V., The Netherlands.
This instruction manual contains necessary information on the magnetic drive centrifugal
pumps and must be read carefully before installation, service and maintenance. The
manual must be kept easily accessible to the operator.
Important!
The pump must not be used for other purposes than recommended and quoted for
without consulting SPX distributor.
Liquids not suitable for the pump can cause damages to the pump unit and
imply risk of personal injury.
Reception, handling and storage
Reception
Remove all packing materials immediately after reception. Check the consignment for
damage immediately on arrival and make sure that the name plate/type designation is in
accordance with the packing slip and your order.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report should be drawn up and presented to
the carrier at once. Notify your local distributor.
On the pump there is a plate with article number and fabrication number. Always state
these numbers and the pump type when contacting your local distributor.
Handling
Check the weight of the pump unit (see chapter 6). All parts weighing more than 20 kg
must be lifted using lifting slings or suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or an
industrial truck.
Always use two lifting slings. Make sure that they are secured in such a way as to prevent them
from slipping and that the pump unit is hanging straight.
