1.2 HANDLING
The pump must ALWAYS be moved and transported in the horizontal position. Prior to moving the unit find

For a safe lifting it is recommended to use ropes, or belts properly positioned on the pump
and/or lifting eyebolts with correct movements, to prevent material damages and/or personal
injuries.
Lifting eyebolts fitted on single components of the assembly (pump or motor) should not be used to lift the
total assembly.
Avoid lifts whereby the ropes or straps, form a triangle with the top angle over 90°.
Prior to moving the unit from an installation, always drain any pumped fluid from the pump, piping and
accessories, rinse and plug all openings to prevent spillage.
