Do not exceed the topple angle when moving the dry pumping system. When using a
forkli or pallet truck, adjust the forks to li around the centre of gravity.
CAUTION:
When using a forkli or pallet truck to li the dry pumping system, make sure to
insert the forks under the base rail on the side of the dry pumping system otherwise
the exhaust may be damaged. The base rail has cut-outs for forkli access.
Refer to the installaon drawings in Installaon drawings on page 80 for the topple
