4. Package, Transport, Storage
4.1. Delivery
On arrival, the delivered items must be inspected for da-
mage 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 sto-
rage. 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 thoro-
ughly 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 cle-
an and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means
that impurities have been removed and decontamina-
ted if it has been used with materials which are hazar-
dous to health. The packaging must protect the product
against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!
5. Installation and commissioning
5.1. General
The following points must be noted in order to prevent
damages to the pump during installation and operation:
•
The installation work must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with the safety regulations.
•
The pump must be checked for possible damages pri-
or to installation.
•
Air pockets in the pump casing and in pipes must be
absolutely avoided (by means of appropriate venting
facilities or slight tilting of the pump).
•
Protect the pump from frost.
•
The power lines of the pump must run in a way that
hazard-free operation and easy assembly/disassem-
bly is possible.
5.2. Fitting
Danger of falls!
When mounting the pump and its accessories, work
is carried out directly at the edge of the basin! Care-
lessness or wrong footwear can lead to falls. There
is danger to life! Take all safety measures to prevent
this.
Fix the pressure pipe or the hose on the pressure branch
of the pump and lay the pressure pipe. When using a
threaded hose connection or pipe connection, the hose
connector at the branch of the pump can be cut off. Ad-
ditionally, a swing check valve can be mounted in the
pressure pipe to prevent backward running of the water
when the pump is switched off. The pressure pipe must
be mounted without tension. When using a hose, it must
be ensured that this is laid out without bends. When us-
ing accessories, e.g. a quick coupling or similar, it has to
be ensured that these are sealed with Teflon tape, since
leakage reduces the conveyor performance of the pump.
Fix the pump on the handhold with a rope or chain and
lower down into the medium. In the event of muddy
ground, lay stones (or sim.) under the pump to prevent
sinking.
Installation on the ground
Mount the pressure pipe with the aid of a Storz-fixed cou-
pling that is screwed onto the central pressure connection
or with an STA hose coupling. The pressure pipe must be
laid out without bends. The internal diameter of the pipe
must correspond to that of the pressure connection. Place
pump into the medium. When used on muddy, sagging
ground stones or similar must be laid under the pump or
it must be placed in a close-meshed basket, so that the
intake strainer is protected from obstruction.
Special operation
With the type TP4-1 pump, it can be pumped down to a
residual water level of about 40mm. Through disassem-
bling the suction sieve (Pos. 143.01) and screen floor (Pos.
185), by loosening the screw (Pos. 914.01) the pumping is
possible with reduced conveying capacity up to a level of
about 5mm.
