WARNING
Risk of personal injury!
Incorrect transport can lead to personal injury!
• Unload boxes, lathed spaces, pallets or cartons, depending on the size
and construction, with forklift trucks or with slings.
• Always lift heavy parts of more than 30 kg with hoisting gear that is in
accordance with local regulations.
– The bearing capacity has to be adapted to the weight!
• Transport the pump using approved lifting gear (block and tackle,
crane etc.). Lifting gear must be attached to the pump flanges and, if
necessary, to the outer motor diameter.
– Securing against slipping is required for this!
• When lifting machines or parts with eyelets, only use load hooks or
shackles that are in accordance with local safety regulations.
• Transport lugs on the motor, if present, are only for transporting the
motor. They are not approved for transporting the complete pump.
• Use a guard if load chains or ropes are guided over or through eyelets
or over sharp edges.
• When using a block and tackle or similar hoisting gear, make sure that
the load is lifted vertically.
• Prevent the suspended load from swinging.
– Swinging can be avoided by using a second block and tackle. The
direction of pull of both block and tackles must be less than 30° to
the vertical.
• Never subject load hooks, eyelets or shackles to bending forces - their
load axes have to be in the direction of the tractive forces!
• When lifting, make sure that the load limit of a load rope is reduced
for diagonal pulling.
– The safety and effectiveness of a stranding is best ensured when
all load-bearing elements are loaded in the vertical direction to the
greatest extent possible. If required, use a lifting arm to which the
load ropes can be attached vertically.
• Set up a safety zone in such a way that there is no danger if the load
or a part of the load slips or the hoisting gear breaks or tears.
• Never leave a load longer than necessary in a suspended position! En-
sure there is no danger to personnel when accelerating and slowing
down during the lifting procedure.
For lifting with a crane, the pump must be supported by suitable belts or load ropes, as
shown. Place belts or load ropes in loops around the pump, which tighten from the pump's
own net weight.
Transport lugs on the motor, if present, are only for guiding when the load is being carried!
WARNING
Damaged transport lugs can break off and cause considerable
personal injury.
• Check the transport lugs before use for damage and secure fixation.
