2.7 Ensure that there is no toxic or explosive gas in the wet well before entering or welding
or using electric tools.
2.8 Use approved lifting equipment and slings and do not stand under the pump while it
is being lifted. The cable is not designed to lift the pump and the pump must not be
maneuvered by use of the cable
2.9 Ensure the cable, particularly the exposed end is kept dry during installation
2.10 The use of an earth leakage circuit breaker is highly recommended and may be
mandatory under local regulations. Please check local requirements

INITIAL EXAMINATION

3.1 Physically inspect the pumps for any signs of transport damage, paying particular
attention to bolted joints and the cable if fitted.
3.2 Confirm that the details on the name plate of the pump agree with the ordered product
paying particular attention to voltage, frequency and starting method.
3.3 Check that all accessories and spare parts are included as described in the commercial
invoice and purchase order.
4. CARRIAGE & TRANSPORT
4.1 During transportation the pump should be secured in such a manner as to avoid
shocks which may damage the pump.
4.2 Handle the pump carefully. Use the lifting eye provided or sling the pump from the
body and move the pump with the aid of a hoist or proper handling equipment
4.3 The pump should never be moved by the cable. There is a high possibility of damage
which may result in an electric short and risk of shock. The cable and cable inlet may
be damaged leading to loss of water tightness and subsequent severe damage to the
motor.

STORAGE

5 .1

WAREHOUSE STORAGE

5.1.1 The warehouse must be free of excessive humidity, corrosive gases or vapors and
free from vibration which might damage the pumps.
5.1.2 Store the pumps in a vertical position on a pallet or stand to keep the pump off the
floor and facilitate easy removal.
5.1.3 The cable should be coiled and the open end should be tightly sealed with waterproof
plastic and tape or a cable cap to prevent the penetration of moisture which may
reach the motor and cause severe damage to the windings.
5.1.4 All unpainted surfaces should be given a light coat of oil or grease to prevent corrosion.
5.1.5 If new pumps are to be stored for longer than 2 months the pump impeller should be
turned by hand every 2 months to prevent the mechanical seal faces from bonding
whilst dry. Failure to do this may result in seal damage when the pump is eventually
started.

5.2 STORAGE IN THE PIT

5.2.1 If an installed pump is not in operation for an extended period of time, the insulation
