• Lifting eyebolts fitted on single components of the assembly (pump or motor) must not
be used to lift the complete assembly.
• Failure to observe these instructions could result in equipment or property damage,
serious injury, or death.

Lifting method
Use a suitable sling attached properly to solid points under the casing and motor.
Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate should be done by
using lifting lugs provided on the baseplate, or by utilizing a forklift under the
entire unit. Always take extra precaution to ensure the weight is balanced & equally
distributed across both forks. When the baseplate of the assembly is structural
channel construction, the pump and base plate should be set in place first. The
motor should then be separately lifted & mounted to the unit.
