3 Lifting and Transporting
Lifting the machine
This pump is heavy enough to cause injury if proper lifting techniques
are not used. Observe the following guidelines when lifting the pump.
• Do not attempt to lift the pump unassisted. Use appropriate lifting
equipment such as slings, chains, hooks, ramps, or jacks.
• Make sure lifting equipment is attached securely and has enough
weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the pump safely.
• Remain aware of the location of other people nearby when lifting
the pump.
Transporting the machine
Observe the following guidelines when transporting the pump to and
from the job site.
• Drain the fuel tank before transporting the pump.
• Ensure that the pump is securely strapped down in the transport
vehicle to prevent it from sliding or tipping.
• Do not refuel the pump in or on the transport vehicle. Move the
pump to its operating location and then fill the fuel tank.
