Transport; Storage; Characteristics Of The Storage Area; Environmental Characteristics Of The Storage Area - STA-RITE vx Manual Del Producto

3.2 Transport

The machine transport must be made under the following
conditions:
- Machine vertical position with the motor in the upper part
- Machine in fixed position without possibility of movements
- Machine protected from atmospheric agents.
Danger
Make sure that the above listed conditions
are complied with during transportation.
Attention

3.3 Storage

3.3.1 Characteristics of the storage area

The storage area must have the following physical characteris-
tics:
- An extent fit for containing the machine and the possible
packaging and allowing the hoisting by means of the foreseen
hoisting means.
- Even and horizontal resting surface.
- Resting surface having a carrying capacity exceeding the
weight of the number of stored machines.
Protection form possible accidental bumps.

3.3.2 Environmental characteristics of the storage area

The storage area must have the following environmental charac-
teristics:
- Allowed temperature range: -15 °C ÷ +50 °C
- Relative humidity range: 30 ÷ 90%
- Protection from atmospheric agents
Danger Possibility of machine fall.
Secure the machine or store it in an
inaccessible place
Do not put the machines one on top of the
other
Attention Keep the machine in vertical position with
the motor in the upper part

3.4 Preliminary checks

3.4.1 Check for damages

- Check the integrity of the packaging if present
- Open the packaging, if present, and extract the machine
- Check that the received machine matches the ordered one
- Check that the machine is not damaged, in particular check the
integrity of:
- Motor fan cover
- Terminal box cover
- External lining
- Cast iron parts
Attention Keep the original packaging, if present, for
a possible future transport of the machine

3.4.2 Damage signalling

In case of non-compliance or damages, signal to SACI
PUMPS or to the seller t he problem within 8 (eight) days
from the purchase date.

3.5 Preparation of the installation area

3.5.1 Characteristics of the installation area

The machine installation area must have the following character-
istics:
- Facilitate the positioning and access to the machine
- Allow a safe connection to the electric system
- Allow safe connections to piping
- Presence of a fit natural and/or artificial lighting allowing safe
operation
- A minimum distance of 150mm between any machine point and
any obstacle
- Ensure sufficient ventilation for the motor fan
Attention Do not cover or obstructs the motor fan
covering grid
Environmental conditions
- Allowed temperature range: -15 °C ÷ +40 °C
- Allowed relative humidity range: 30 ÷ 90%
- Protection from atmospheric agents
Connection
The piping to which the machine must be connected must have
the following characteristics:
- Axiality among the delivery and suction piping with minimum
diameters fit for the machine
- Distance between the two pipelines as shown in the "Product
specification" paragraph "Foundations""
- Fastening to a fixed support, in order not to discharge stresses
and/or vibrations on the machine
- Absence of air locks, as shown in the piping figure
- Suction piping length reduced as much as possible
- Load losses in the suction piping minimised (if the machine
works in suction mode. See "Machines installed above head")
- Gates on delivery and suction pipe lines
- If the machine is installed above head, check valve on the
suction piping
- If the machine feeds a boiler, check valve on the delivery piping
- If the fluid circulating in the piping has a temperature exceeding
65 °C, protection against high temperatures
- If the machine can work with a valve closed on the delivery
piping, recycling piping for safeguarding the machine with the
following characteristics:
- Connection between:
- Delivery and suction pipe lines
- Delivery and drain pipe lines
- Control by means of:
- Thermostatic valve
- Solenoid valve controlled by pressure gauge or thermostat
