Lifting methods
WARNING:
• Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support
this equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift
equipment only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as
eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load
being lifted.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods
and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.
• Tip over hazard. Do not use component eyebolts to lift the pump station. The eyebolts
are only designed to lift the components to which they are attached.
• Do not attach sling ropes to the panel stand.
Storage guidelines
Storage location
The product must be stored in a covered and dry location free from heat, dirt, and
vibrations.
NOTICE:
•
Protect the product against humidity, heat sources, and mechanical damage.
• Do not place heavy weights on the packed product.
Storage between use
Observe the following for long-term storage of a pump station.
• Insure system is drained of any water.
• Remove transducers to ensure that they do not freeze.
• System may be top-heavy, brace to keep from tipping.

Long term storage
The following procedure applies to Boosters and HVAC Packages.
1. Customer furnished equipment and accessories that are not offered as standard or
2. Storage longer than one month Is considered long term storage.
3. Pumps should be prepared for storage using the following procedure.
SAFETY
• Select a storage location that will prevent potential hazards to persons allowed access
• Appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure safe on-site receipt and transit.
• Potential energy risk should be minimized. Keep product at ground level and prevent

stacking or other unsafe positioning that could result in falling, dropping, and/or
tipping.
• Little extra preparation is needed if indoor storage area is dry and clean.
• Care should be taken to prevent extremes In temperature (below 32°F and above
110°F). Also, keep the pump out of direct sunlight and covered to protect it from
dust and dirt.
• Care should be taken to prevent moisture build-up around the pump, either by
allowing proper ventilation or tightly sealing the pump in the cover with a suitable
amount of desiccant to ensure dryness.
• If indoor storage area is humid or dirty, such as an unfinished building, treat the
pump as if it were to be stored outdoors.
• If exposure to condensation is expected, un-painted external steel or cast-iron
surfaces should be coated with rust-inhibiting oil such as Cortec’s VCI-329.
• Storage location should also provide minimal exposure to vibration and other
damage potentially transmitted from adjacent operating equipment.
• Product supplied in factory cartons, pallets or similar Xylem packaging should be
kept in ‘as-shipped’ condition where possible.
• Inspect suction and discharge manifold flange covers.
• Pump should be covered to protect it from weather and direct sunlight.
• All coverings should be property secured to withstand high wind.
• Care must be exercised in covering pumps to prevent moisture build-up under
the cover. This can be done either by allowing proper ventilation or tight sealing
cover with suitable amount of desiccant to ensure dryness.
• Extreme heat and cold are to be avoided, as rubber parts and seals could age
prematurely (below 32°F and above 110°F).
• Storage area should be inspected weekly, and after storms for damage to
protective covers.
• Inspect suction and discharge manifold flange covers.
• Preparation for storage under these conditions is the same as for indoor and
outdoor, except the suction and discharge piping will serve as flange covers.
• The suction and discharge valves must be tightly closed and all water removed
from the pump and attached piping. The interior of the pump and piping must be
thoroughly dried.
• Inspect un-painted external steel or cast-iron surfaces once a month for moisture
and replace volatile corrosion inhibitor at that time (see section 1.B.a.v)

Manual
Transportation and Storage
• Pumps
• Every 30 days, the pump and motor shaft should be rotated by hand (10-15 turns)
to prevent bearing damage and potential for binding. Be sure shaft comes to rest
in different positions.
• Close-coupled pumps may have minimal access to exposed shaft areas. In those
cases, care must be taken to avoid damage to the shaft though use of channellock pliers or similar tools.
• If removal of the coupling guard is required for hand-rotation of the pump and
motor shafts, this guarding must be reinstalled prior to removal of lock-out tag-out
and start-up.
• Control Panels, VFDs, and Electronics
• For storing electrical control panels, drives and other electrical items for more
than 3 months, insertion of moisture absorbing packets within the enclosure by be
necessary. Periodically replace as required. Remove packets prior to equipment
start-up.
• Package Enclosures
• Housing vents and/or openings will be sealed with plastic wrap and waterproof
tape.
• Condensation protection shall be provided in accordance to instructions
previously noted.
PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
• Remove all rust inhibitor from exposed machined surfaces using the method
described by the supplier.
• Remove all corrosion protection devices or material from package.
• Remove flange covers, tape, and all unnecessary pipe plugs.
