4.5 - LIFTING THE PUMP
Pumps are provided with two lift holes (eyebolts) placed on the upper part of the frame. While lifting the pump, respect the
following points:
- Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting rings plus additional support on the gearbox and the motor using suitably
rated straps or slings.
- Never exceed the upper limits of lift and control the motorized pump weights in the table below.
- The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend to overbalance on the pump head side. Make sure that the
persons are at a secure distance from the pump to avoid any risk of wound.
- Never raise the pump otherwise than by the pump’s lifting rings.
- Never raise the pump by its orices nor by its brackets.
