TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION

3.1

Transport and handling

All transport and handling activities must be entrusted to organizations with a track record of transporting and handling
industrial machinery and equipment. These organizations must employ specialized personnel and use certified equipment
suited to the size and weight of the packages and the logistical conditions of the sites.
- Do not use the eyebolts on individual parts (motor, hydraulic section) to lift the entire diesel pump
ATTENTION
because these were not designed to take the entire weight of the machine.
- Handle the pressure module using suitable equipment and taking care not to knock it.
- Make sure that the equipment is suited to the weight of the diesel pump and to the nature of the site.
- The diesel pump is provided as standard with starting batteries and engine fluids (oil and coolant). You
are recommended to take particular care when handling the diesel pump, which must always be kept
level to prevent the hazardous substances from spilling out.
- Make sure that the hazardous and/or polluting substances do not spill out of the diesel pump.
Prohibit all unauthorized access to the diesel pump while this is being lifted and handled. Use a crane,
bridge crane or fork-lift truck to unload, handle and put down the diesel pump.
Refer to the diagram below on correct and safe handling.
3.2 Storage
Keep the diesel pump in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°and 40°C. Its packaging is not suitable for storage
outdoors or for transport by sea and air.
3.2.1 Batteries
The starting batteries are provided already charged up. If the machine is not commissioned within sixty days of delivery, you are
recommended to recharge the batteries periodically every two months or so, as follows:
- Put in place all the necessary safety measures (in relation to the presence of acids and toxic substances, the risk of explosion,
the prohibition to use flames or similar) and read any recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the batteries.
- Use a battery charger outside the control panel of a charging voltage suited to the type of battery (max 13.8Vdc/battery) and
of an adjustable charging current (max 1/10th of battery capacity, e.g. 5A for 50Ah).
- Charging time: 24 hours.
- After charging, the battery at rest and at ambient temperature should have a voltage at the terminals of between 12.7 and
12.9Vdc.
- In the case of long periods of storage (of more than 2 months), read with care the use and maintenance
ATTENTION
manuals provided with the diesel engine and batteries. Follow the instructions in these manuals.
- In the case of a diesel engine, you are recommended to treat this with specific allied oil to prevent the
process of polymerization, which causes the components of the fuel supply system to seize up.
