publication is available on request: contact us or the supplier.
▪ Route and secure cables, hoses and pipework during installation to avoid the
possible risk of trips.
▪ Before locating the dry pumping system, ensure that the installation area is clean
and free from debris and contamination (such as oil).
In order for the dry pumping system to perform to specification, appropriate facilities
must be provided as detailed in this manual.
Before installing, we recommend that you read the publication P60102675 Installation

3.1 Locate the dry pumping system

WARNING:
Suitable lifting equipment must be used to move the dry pumping system. It is too
heavy to lift by hand.
Move the dry pumping system to its operating position using any of the following
methods:
▪ Use a forklift or pallet truck to lift the dry pumping system.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the topple angle when moving the dry pumping system. When using a
forklift or pallet truck, adjust the forks to lift around the centre of gravity.
CAUTION:
When using a forklift or pallet truck to lift the dry pumping system, make sure to
insert the forks under the base rail on the side of the dry pumping system otherwise
the exhaust may be damaged. The base rail has cut-outs for forklift access.
Refer to the installation drawings in
angle and centre of gravity information.
▪ Lift the dry pumping system by the eyebolts.
WARNING:
Ensure that the maximum angle between the paired slings used to lift the dry
45 o MAX
pumping system is 45°.
Each dry pumping system is provided with four lifting eyebolts to enable lifting. Refer to
Figure: Front view of the pumping system with the side exhaust and skids
Ensure that all the lifting eyebolts are used when lifting the dry pumping system. Once
the dry pumping system has been moved to its location, remove the lifting eyebolts and
replace with the lifting eyebolt covers supplied with the dry pumping system.
