WARNING
Risk of personal injury!
Incorrect transport can lead to personal injury!
• Unload boxes, lathed spaces, pallets or cartons, depending on the size and con-
struction, with forklift trucks or with slings.
• Always lift heavy parts of more than 30 kg with hoisting gear that is in accord-
ance 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!
