2.3.2 Handling-
WARNING:
•
Make sure that the pump cannot roll or fall over and injure people or damage
property.
•
These pumps might use carbon or ceramic silicon carbide components. Do
not drop the pump or subject it to shock loads as this can damage the
internal ceramic components.
NOTICE:
Use a forklift truck or an overhead crane with sufficient capacity to move the
pallet with the pump unit on top. Failure to do so can result in equipment
damage.
2.3.3 Lifting methods-
WARNING:
•
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and
support this equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment
damage. Lift equipment only at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting
devices such as eyebolts, slings, and spreaders must be rated, selected, and
used for the entire load being lifted.
•
Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting
methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.
•
Do not attach sling ropes to shaft ends.
Use the supplied lifting lugs and suitable slings in order to lift the entire pump to a vertical
position and lower the unit into the sump. Then use the lifting lugs on the motor and a
suitable sling in order to hoist the motor into position. Use a tag line attached to the casing
end in order to prevent the pump from swinging. Refer Figure 1.
Pump set must be lifted from the lifting eye bolts provided on the support plate by using
suitable four chain lifting equipment.
