Installation and operating instructions • Wilo-Atmos GIGA-I/-D/-B • Ed.01/2023-06
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 eyes, only use load hooks or
shackles that are in accordance with local safety regulations.
• The transport eyes on the motor are only for transporting the motor,
but are not approved for transporting the complete pump.
• If load chains or ropes are put over sharp edges, a guard has to be
used or they have to be put through eyes.
• 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, eyes 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 need be, use a lifting arm which can be
attached vertically to the load rope.
• Set up a safety zone in such a way that there is no danger in the event
that 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!
Make sure there is no danger to the 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.
The transport eyes on the motor 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.
