formations. The pipes and valves will not withstand loads and should not be used to
secure loads in transit.
• Only use permitted lifting gear for transport. Ensure the stability of the load since,
with this particular pump design, the centre of gravity is shifted to the top (top-
heavy).
• Never attach lifting gear to shafts in order to lift the unit.
• Do not use the transport lugs on the pump or motor to lift the entire unit. They are
only meant for transporting the individual components during installation or dis-
mantling.
Only remove the outer packaging at the place of utilisation to ensure that the pump is
not damaged during transport.
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect packaging.
If the pump is transported again at a later date, it must be packaged so that it cannot
be damaged during transport. Use the original packaging for this, or choose equival-
ent packaging.
ƒ
Comply with applicable national safety regulations.
ƒ
Use legally specified and approved lifting gear.
ƒ
Select the lifting gear based on the prevailing conditions (weather, attachment
point, load, etc.).
ƒ
Only attach the lifting gear to the attachment point. Fix in place with a shackle.
ƒ
Never feed the lifting gear over or through transport lugs without protection.
ƒ
Never feed the lifting gear over sharp edges without protection.
ƒ
Use lifting equipment with sufficient bearing capacity.
ƒ
The stability of the lifting equipment must be ensured during operation.
ƒ
When using lifting equipment, ensure a second person is present to coordinate the
procedure if required (e.g. if the operator's field of vision is blocked).
ƒ
When lifting, make sure that the load limit of the lifting gear is reduced when pulling
at an angle. The safety and efficiency of the lifting gear is best guaranteed when all
load-bearing elements are loaded vertically. If necessary, use a lifting arm, to which
the lifting gear can be vertically attached.
ƒ
Ensure the load is lifted vertically!
ƒ
Prevent the suspended load from swinging!
NOTICE
Improper storage can lead to damage to the equipment.
Damage caused by improper storage is not covered by the guarantee or warranty.
ƒ
Requirements at the storage location:
–
dry
–
clean
–
well-ventilated
–
free from vibrations
–
free from humidity
–
free from rapid or extreme changes in temperature
ƒ
Store the product where it is protected against mechanical damage.
ƒ
Protect the bearings and couplings from sand, gravel and other foreign materials.
ƒ
Lubricate the unit to prevent rust and bearing seizure.
ƒ
Manually rotate the drive shaft several times once a week.
Storage for more than three months
Additional precautionary measures:
ƒ
All rotating parts must be coated with a suitable protective medium to protect them
from rust.
