Vector 4000 Installation and Maintenance
4.4 LIFTING THE PUMP
Pumps are provided with two lift rings fitted on the upper part
of the frame. While lifting the pump, do the following:
1. Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting rings plus
additional support on the gearbox and the motor using
suitably rated straps or slings.
2. Never exceed a lift's upper weight limit. Refer to the Pump
Weight table below to determine the size of lift required.
3. The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend
to overbalance on the pump head side. Make sure that
the persons are at a security distance of the pump to avoid
any risk of wound.
4. Never raise the pump otherwise than by the pump's lifting
rings.
5. Never raise the pump by it's orifices nor by it's brackets.

6.1 CHANGING LUBRICANT.
Check lubricant level every 1000 hours. Change as follows:
1. Stop the pump
2. Place a tray underneath the drain plug (23)
3. If necessary, install a tap and a drain circuit instead of the
drain plug
4. Make sure tray will hold the quantity of lubricant during
the drainage process. See 9.3 Lubrication Table for quantity.
5. Unscrew the drain plug and drain lubricant
6. Position and tighten drain plug by applying Teflon® band
or waterproof paste of close drain tap.
7. Remove sight glass (15) as well as seal (46) and fill the
casing with Wanner lubricant. See 9.3 Lubrication Table for
quantity. Fill with lubricant to the level of the sight glass or
underneath the shaft line. See illustration below.
