WARNING:
Do not exceed the topple angle when moving the dry pumping system. When
using a forklift or pallet truck, adjust the forks to lift around the centre of gravity.
CAUTION:
When using a forklift or pallet truck to lift the dry pumping system, make sure to
insert the forks through the specified position of the base frame of the dry
pumping system. The base frame has cut-outs for forklift access.
Refer to the Installation drawings on page 80 for the topple angle and centre of
gravity information.
▪ Lift the dry pumping system by the lifting bracket.
WARNING:
Ensure that the maximum angle between the paired slings used to lift the dry
pumping system is 45°.
Each dry pumping system is provided with four lifting brackets to enable lifting.
Refer to Front view on page
11.
Ensure that all the lifting brackets are used when lifting the dry pumping system.
6.2.1. Levelling the pump
The dry pumping system must be located on a firm, non-combustible, level
surface, capable of supporting the pump mass, to ensure that it works correctly
and is not damaged. The pump must be level to a maximum of 3 degrees in any
direction, measured at the pump inlet. It can be located directly on the floor or a
frame. Guidance for the access areas (general and service) is given in the
installation drawings.
▪ Pumps are provided with four floor mounting holes at the bottom of the base
frame, refer to Front view on page
11. If necessary, fit shims (which must be
supplied) to ensure that the dry pumping system is level.
Pumps with castors can be levelled by adjusting screws the castor has, refer to
Side view on page 12. Once the dry pumping system has been pushed into the
position, adjust the levelling castors to make sure that the dry pumping system is
level and is not supported by the castors. Refer to Installation drawings on page
80 for the suggested jacking height.
6.2.2. Securing the pump
To secure the pump in place to prevent inadvertent movement (for example,
during an earthquake), take note of the following:
▪ All dry pumping systems can be secured by fitting the bolts or studs (not
supplied) through the mounting holes in the base frame. Use M16 (5/8 inch)
bolts with shake-proof washers or other suitable anchor bolts of the same
size.
