4. Package, Transport, Storage
4.1. Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for dam-
age and a check made that all parts are present. If any
parts are damaged or missing, the transport company or
the manufacturer must be informed on the day of delivery.
Any claim made at a later date will be deemed invalid.
Damage to parts must be noted on the delivery or freight
documentation.
4.2. Transport
The product is delivered by the manufacturer/shipping
agency in suitable packaging. This normally precludes
the possibility of damage occurring during transport and
storage. The packaging should be stored in a safe place if
the location used is changed frequently.
4.3. Storage
Newly supplied products are prepared that they can
be stored for at 1 year. The product should be cleaned
thoroughly before interim storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for
storage:
•
Place the product on a firm surface and secure it
against falling over.
•
We recommend a dry, frost-protected room with a
temperature of between 5 °C and 25 °C for storage.
•
The machine must be protected from direct sunlight,
heat, dust, and frost.
•
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
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
decontaminated if it has been used with materials which are
hazardous to health. The packaging must protect the product
against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!

5. Installation and Start-Up
5.1. General
In order to prevent damage to the pump or serious injury
during installation the following points must be observed:
•
Installation work may only be carried out by qualified
persons. The safety instructions must be followed at
all times.
•
The pump must be inspected for damages before any
installation work is carried out.
•
If you are using level control, make sure that the
minimum water coverage is present.
•
Protect the pump from frost.
•
Electric power cables must be laid out in such a way
that safe operation and non-problematic assembly/
dismantling are possible at all times.
•
Never let the unit run dry. Therefore, we recommend
installing a level control unit.
•
If permanently installed, the equipment must be
set up in a dry, well ventilated place sheltered from
weather. Room temperature must not exceed 40°.
•
In general, we recommend the use of a pre-filter to
prevent contamination damaging the pump or the
control system.
5.2. Installation
Before starting to connect the pressure pipe, screw the
accompanying HPS 1 pump control (only in the case of
pumps designated "HCE") firmly to the pump's pressure
connection (on top) with the transition screw connection.
Before starting up, the suction and pressure pipes must
be connected to the pump. The suction line conveys
water from the source of water to the pump. Use a fully
assembled, vacuum-tight suction device (available in 4 m
or 7 m lengths) with a 22 mm Ø hose, a foot-operated
valve and a pump connector as the suction line. If some
other length or diameter is required, the suction line can
alternatively be assembled from individual accessories.
The suction line consists as a rule of the following parts:
2

A) hose nipple with external thread or
1
B) suction coupling half and rapid fixed coupling
2 hose clamp
3 spiral suction hose ¾" to 1¼"
4 hose clamp
5 hose nipple with external thread
foot-operated valve with filter basket (with thread- reducing
6
adapter, if appropriate)
