Introduction
Introduction
This manual deals with the installation, operation and maintenance of VOGT Monobloc
AM series centrifugal pumps.
The operation of a centrifugal pump, chosen in accordance with all the technical
background, can deliver for various causes, a poor service. This is generally due to
poor installation and/or operation of the pumping equipment.
Efficient service is only achieved by installing and operating the pumping equipment
correctly, therefore, the instructions in this manual must be fully complied with.
Pumps should not be used for purposes other than the service conditions stipulated at
the time of purchase.
The nameplate installed on the pump describes the most important features of the equipment purchased.
The design, materials and workmanship incorporated in the construction of VOGT pumps allow for a long, trouble-free
service life. The life and satisfactory performance of the VOGT pumping equipment, in any case, depend on a correct
application, installation and, in addition, of a periodic inspection and careful maintenance.
VOGT S.A. will not be responsible for physical injury, damage or other inconveniences caused by improper installation,
operation or maintenance.
The warranty is only valid when the equipment is used for the application for which it was ordered.
In case of any doubt or additional information regarding the installation, operation or maintenance of the pumping
equipment, contact qualified technical personnel by calling the head office or any authorized distributor.
VOGT S.A. reserves the right to make changes in design, dimensions, etc., at any time without notice and without
incurring any obligation.
The contents of this publication are based on the latest product information at the time of going to press.
No part of this publication may be reproduced without written permission from VOGT S.A.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the pump and should remain with the pump if it is sold or moved.

Transportation,
Storage and
Handling
!WARNING
4.2 Factory Packaging and Protections
After the painting phase, VOGT S.A. performs the following:
•All openings are sealed by means of plastic parts, or plasticized adhesives.
•AM Series pumps are delivered in packaging consisting of a fully enclosed cardboard box mounted on a wooden
pallet. In all cases, the equipment is firmly secured to prevent movement during transport and handling. These
protections are exclusively for transport and at most for short term storage. In any case, the following storage
instructions must be followed.
CAUTION
4.3.1 Before Storage !
•Storage should be in a place protected from the outside, away from shocks, solar radiation, dust, humidity and
flooding.
•The pumping equipment should not be stacked on top of each other, even if the type of packaging makes this
possible.
•The pump and auxiliary lines should be kept clear of the pumping fluid.
•It is recommended to coat the unpainted parts of the pump with a protective material (e.g. petroleum jelly or
similar).
•Apply from the suction inlet oil or some anti-rust liquid in the wear ring areas, to avoid seizure.
•The electric motor shall be disconnected and the connection cables shall be removed and the terminal box shall be
closed with its cover.
•The electric boards shall remain in vertical position and disconnected.
Figure 6
Transportation, Storage and Handling
The pump and its components are heavy. Improper handling during handling and hoisting could cause serious personal injury
and/or damage to the equipment.
4.1 Transportation and Handling
The transport and handling of the equipment must be carried out with means suitable for the weight to be supported; the weight
is generally indicated on the delivery note, if this is not the case and there is no certainty of being able to handle the equipment,
please contact VOGT S.A. to indicate the same. For the handling, the equipments that require it have appropriate eyebolts on the
bench. However, remember that the equipment must never be lifted by means of the eyebolts of each one of its elements, e.g.,
engine and pump eyebolts, which are exclusive for their independent transport. Neither should the suction and discharge ports
of the pump, nor pipes or connecting elements, e.g. couplings, be used. In any case, if the equipment is to be lifted by means of
slings, these must pass under the pump and motor bodies.
4.3 Storage Instructions
These instructions are for storage less than 12 months from the date of shipment. If longer, please request instructions for long
term storage.
10
Transportation,
Storage and
Handling
•Remove the temporary protections and visually check the condition of all the elements.
•If the pump has been stored and/or stopped for a long period of time (more than 6 months), it is necessary to renew
the lubrication of the motor bearings as indicated in the motor manual.
•After a short storage period, it is sufficient to manually rotate the pump shaft to unlock the rotor assembly.
•Review and apply the short-term storage instructions specified in the manuals for the motor and other items used.
•Observe the other steps listed in the "Start-up" section.
If the equipment is going to be stopped for a certain period of time and there is danger of frost, it is necessary to drain the
pump completely to avoid its deterioration due to the possible freezing of the contained fluid.
