pumps are shipped in railroad containers or crates
unless the customer specifies otherwise.
The packings are labelled and symbols give the handling instructions
in accordance with DIN 55402.
On receipt check for any transport damages.
Transport damages should be reported to the transporter immediately.
The pumps should be transported as closely as possible to the location
of installation and only there should they be uncrated.
Uncrated horizontal pumps should be lifted by using a shackle which
can be attached to the baseplate. The bolt holes of the frame or
the lifting lugs attached to the baseplate could be used as shown on
the installation drawing.
Vertical pumps should be lifted by using the bolt down holes,
lifting lugs or shackles attached to the baseplate. This is shown on
the installation drawing. For most applications, the drive is mounted
on top of the pump.
Be careful when lifting top heavy pumps. The centre of gravity may be
above the points where the lifting gear is attached to. If the case, secure
additionally against tipping over!
Vertical pumps should not be deposited unless they are secured vertically.
Hazards of tipping! Deposit only in horizontal position!
It is essential to avoid that the total pump unit be suspended with
eye bolts of the motor or gear box. These eye bolts should be used
for lifting the motor and/or the gear box only.
The Accident Prevention Rules, Section 18.4 relating to lifting accessories
for the lifting of loads (VBG 9a) must be strictly adhered to.
Because of the variety of possible pump designs and applications, only
general instructions can be given here. These should be good enough
for experienced assemblymen or transportation experts.
When in doubt, please ask for detailed information on the pump unit
concerned.
