Transportation and lifting
“Transport” refers to the phase when the equipment is transferred from the manufacturing site to that
where it shall be used.
The electrical equipment is supplied mechanically fastened to the structure of its relative machine; refer
to the specific Use and Maintenance Manual for the methods of transport and handling.
Any kind of impact and stress to the components must be avoided when the electrical equipment is
transported and handled. Particular attention must be paid to:
• ensure the doors or access hatches are closed properly and secured;
• protect the equipment from all kinds of possible impact and stress according to the type of
transport.
The following precautions must always be complied with when transporting and handling the
goods:
• do not stand beneath suspended loads and keep at a safe distance from the area in which the
load is handled;
• if the load must be guided while being raised, do not use your hands or feet. Suitable equipment
must be used that allow the personnel to maintain a safe distance from the load being lifted.
WARNING
Use certified lifting equipment with an adequate lifting capacity and always lift from
directly above. Lifting from an angle can lead to dangerous situations.
Lifting work may only be performed by appropriately authorized personnel.
Because many different versions of the pump unit are available, only general
instructions are provided. See the specification sheet for the particular pump unit
for the weight and dimensions.
WARNING
Prevent particularly violent knocks during transport by paying attention to the overall
dimensions of the goods and fastening the load so as to prevent it from tipping over
