2 Transportation and Storage

2.1 Inspect the delivery

1. Check the outside of the package for evident signs of damage.
2. Notify our distributor within eight days of the delivery date, if the
product bears visible signs of damage.
Unpack the unit
1. Follow applicable step:
• If the unit is packed in a carton, then remove the staples and
open the carton.
• If the unit is packed in a wooden crate, then open the cover
while paying attention to the nails and straps.
2. Remove the securing screws or the straps from the wooden base.
Inspect the unit
1. Remove packing materials from the product.
Dispose of all packing materials in accordance with local regula-
tions.
2. Inspect the product to determine if any parts have been damaged
or are missing.
3. If applicable, unfasten the product by removing any screws, bolts,
or straps.
For your personal safety, be careful when you handle nails and
straps.
4. Contact the seller if anything is out of order.

2.2 Transportation guidelines

Precautions
WARNING:
• Observe accident prevention regulations in force.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be
heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed
shoes at all times.
Check the gross weight that is indicated on the package in order to se-
lect proper lifting equipment.
Position and fastening
The unit can be transported either horizontally or vertically. Make sure
that the unit is securely fastened during transportation, and cannot roll
or fall over.
WARNING:
Do not use eyebolts screwed on the motor for handling the
whole electric pump unit.
• Use straps surrounding the motor if the power of the motor is be-
tween 0.25 kW and 4.0 kW.
• Use ropes or straps that are linked to the two flanges (eye bolts if
provided) located near the mating zone between the motor and
pump, if the power of the motor is between 5.5 kW and 55.0 kW.
• Eyebolts screwed onto the motor may be exclusively used to han-
dle the individual motor or, in case of a not balanced distribution
of weights, to partially lift the unit vertically starting from a horizon-
tal displacement.
• To move the pump unit only, use straps firmly linked to the motor
adapter.
For more information about how to securely harness the unit, see
ure 5 .
Unit without motor
If the unit is not delivered with a motor, the calibrated fork-shaped shim
is already inserted between the adapter and the transmission coupling.
The shim is inserted to keep the impeller stack in the correct axial posi-
tion. In order to prevent damage during transportation the shaft is also
held into place with expanded polystyrene and plastic straps.
The bolt and nuts used to fasten the motor are not included.

WARNING:
A pump and motor that are purchased separately and then
coupled together results in a new machine under the Machi-
nery directive 2006/42/EC. The person making the coupling
is responsible for all safety aspects of the combined unit.

2.3 Storage guidelines

Storage location
The product must be stored in a covered and dry location free from
heat, dirt, and vibrations.

cal damage.
• Do not place heavy weights on the packed product.
Ambient temperature
The product must be stored at an ambient temperature from -5°C to
+40°C (23°F to 104°F).

The SV pumps 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 22 are available in different ver-
sions according to the position of the suction and delivery ports and
the shape of the connection flange.
The product can be supplied as a pump unit (pump and electric motor)
or only as a pump.
NOTICE:
• If you have purchased a pump without motor, make sure that the
motor is suitable for coupling to the pump.
• The motor shall be a V (vertical) mounting arrangement type with
rain (drip) cover provided
• In case of variable speed drive (VSD) application, contact the
