Transportation guidelines
Precautions
DANGER: Crush Hazard
Moving parts can entangle or crush. Always disconnect and lock out power before
servicing to prevent unexpected startup. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury.
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.
Lifting
Always inspect the lifting equipment and tackle before starting any work.
WARNING: Crush Hazard
1) Always lift the unit by its designated lifting points. 2) Use suitable lifting equipment and
ensure that the product is properly harnessed. 3) Wear personal protective equipment. 4)
Stay clear of cables and suspended loads.
NOTICE:
Never lift the unit by its cables or hose.

Transportation and Storage
• The lifting equipment must support the weight of the entire assembly and must only
be used by authorized personnel.
• Two sets of lifting equipment must be used to lift the unit for repair work.
• The lifting equipment must be dimensioned to lift the unit with any remaining
pumped media in it.
• The lifting equipment must not be oversized.
CAUTION: Crush Hazard
Over-dimensioned lifting equipment can lead to injury. A site-specific
risk analysis must be done.
Temperature ranges for transportation, handling and storage
Handling at freezing temperature
At temperatures below freezing, the product and all installation equipment, including the
lifting gear, must be handled with extreme care.
Make sure that the product is warmed up to a temperature above the freezing point
before starting up. Avoid rotating the impeller/propeller by hand at temperatures below
the freezing point. The recommended method to warm the unit up is to submerge it in the
liquid which will be pumped or mixed.
NOTICE:
Never use a naked flame to thaw the unit.
Unit in as-delivered condition
If the unit is still in the condition in which it left the factory - all packing materials are
undisturbed - then the acceptable temperature range during transportation, handling and
storage is: –50°C (–58ºF) to +60°C (+140ºF).
If the unit has been exposed to freezing temperatures, then allow it to reach the ambient
temperature of the sump before operating.
Lifting the unit out of liquid
The unit is normally protected from freezing while operating or immersed in liquid, but
the impeller/propeller and the shaft seal may freeze if the unit is lifted out of the liquid
into a surrounding temperature below freezing.
Units equipped with an internal cooling system are filled with a mixture of water and 30%
glycol. This mixture remains a flowing liquid at temperatures down to –13°C (9°F). Below –
13°C (9°F), the viscosity increases such that the glycol mixture will lose its flow properties.
However, the glycol-water mixture will not solidify completely and thus cannot harm the
product.
Follow these guidelines to avoid freezing damage:
1. Empty all pumped liquid, if applicable.
2. Check all liquids used for lubrication or cooling, both oil and water-glycol mixtures,
for the presence of unacceptable amounts of water. Change if needed.
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.

WARNING: Electrical Hazard
There is a risk of electrical shock or explosion if the electrical connections are not correctly
carried out, or if there is fault or damage on the product. Visually inspect equipment for
damaged cables, cracked casings or other signs of damage. Make sure that electrical
conections have been correctly made.
WARNING: Crush Hazard
Risk of automatic restart.
CAUTION: Electrical Hazard
Prevent cables from becoming sharply bent or damaged.
NOTICE:
Leakage into the electrical parts can cause damaged equipment or a blown fuse. Keep
the cable ends dry at all times.
These general requirements apply for electrical installation:
• The supply authority must be notified before installing the pump if it will be
connected to the public mains. When the pump is connected to the public power
supply, it may cause flickering of incandescent lamps when started.
• The mains voltage and frequency must agree with the specifications on the data plate.
If the pump can be connected to different voltages, then the connected voltage is
specified by a yellow sticker close to the cable entry.
• The fuses and circuit breakers must have the proper rating, and the pump overload
protection (motor protection breaker) must be connected and set to the rated current
according to the data plate and if applicable the cable chart. The starting current in
direct-on-line start can be up to six times higher than the rated current.
• The fuse rating and the cables must be in accordance with the local rules and
regulations.
• If intermittent operation is prescribed, then the pump must be provided with
monitoring equipment supporting such operation.
• If stated on the data plate, then the motor is convertible between different voltages.
• The thermal contacts/thermistors must be in use.
• For FM-approved pumps, a leakage sensor must be connected and in use in order to
meet approval requirements.
Cables
These are the requirements to follow when you install cables:
• The cables must be in good condition, not have any sharp bends, and not be pinched.
• The sheathing must not be damaged and must not have indentations or be embossed
(with markings, etc.) at the cable entry.
• The cable entry seal sleeve and washers must conform to the outside diameter of the
cable.
• The minimum bending radius must not be below the accepted value.
• If using a cable which has been used before, a short piece must be peeled off when
refitting it so that the cable entry seal sleeve does not close around the cable at the
same point again. If the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, then replace the cable.
Contact a local sales and service representative.
• The voltage drop in long cables must be taken into account. The drive unit’s rated
voltage is the voltage measured at the cable connection point in the pump.

Estimate zinc anode replacement intervals
The mass and surface area of the zinc anodes are designed to protect the pump surface
for 1 year in sea water with an average temperature of 20°C (68°F). Shorter inspection
intervals and anode replacement can be required, depending upon the water
temperature and the chemical composition as well as the presence of other metals in the
vicinity of the pump.
The rate of zinc consumption, and the appropriate inspection intervals, can be estimated
by measuring how much zinc is consumed during the first two months following
installation.
Anodes are replaced when the anode mass is reduced to a selected fraction of its initial
mass. The recommended interval for the selection fraction is 0.25–0.50 (25–50%).
1. Remove, weigh, and reinstall one or more of the exterior zinc anodes before starting
up the pump.
2. After two months, remove and weigh the same zinc anode or anodes again.
