Lifting, Transport and Intermediate Storage
The following chemicals should never be put through any Hypro pump:
• Gasoline (Petrol)
• Kerosene/Kerosine (paraffin)
• Diesel fuel
• Ceramic slurries
• Sewage
• Potable water
• Abrasive fluids
The Hypro roller pumps and mounting assemblies are designed with Imperial (inch) bolts, however, there are many
metric (mm) sizes which will work with these bolts. In most cases, an adjustable spanner (crescent) wrench can also
be used.
Packaging Descriptions and Unpacking Instructions
• Hypro roller pumps are shipped in cardboard boxes for safe transporting.
• When pumps are shipped in large quantities, they may be put on a pallet to allow for easy storage, lifting and
handling.
• Before lifting any pump or pallet, determine the weight of the item by looking at the attached packing slips to
establish what lifting equipment or method should be used.
• Once the pump is unpacked, dispose of all the packaging in a manner compliant with local and national
regulations.
Lifting Instructions
• Before attempting to lift a Hypro pump, ensure that the surrounding working area is free of hazards which could
cause injury or damage to property.
• During lifting operations, any personnel not involved in the lift should not enter the working area.
• If lifting hooks, rope or chains are being used for a lift, they must be free of damage and be rated to carry 150%
of the weight of the load to be lifted.
