Rev.4 del 01/2011 O.M.A.C. s.r.l.
In order to ensure safety of personnel involved and considering the peculiar features of the "B series lobe displacement Pump Unit", this can be handled
only by personnel used to deal with heavy material and with the suitable hoisting equipment, complete with the relative hoisting accessories. For this
reason only these people can recognise and exclude dangers for third parties and/or for the handled material.
Below there is a table illustrating the mass of the various LDPU models.

DANGER
The LDPU has dimensions and weights that change according to its version and size. Take great care when handling and transporting. In particular,
carefully follow all instructions for correct weight distribution.
ATTENTION
Pay utmost attention during the pump unpacking operations, described further on.

2.1 Hoisting and transportation

The "B series lobe displacement Pump Unit" is delivered to the customer inside a wooden crate (pack closed with screws; for further information please
refer to section 2.4 of this use and maintenance manual).
On the basis of the weight table indications, at the beginning of this chapter, crate handling can be carried out only with a forklift with suitable capacity,
supplied by the customer and driven by personnel appointed by the customer, with the requirements needed to perform all operations in safety conditions.
In addition the personnel must be used to handle delicate high-tech loads.
DANGER
It is absolutely forbidden to handle the LDPU without a forklift with suitable capacity and driven by a person authorised by the customer, with the appro-
priate legal requirements.
ATTENTION
The crate containing the LDPU will be hoisted exclusively with a forklift.
To handle the crate, proceed as follows:
• place the forks of the forklift in correspondence of the slits between the feet of the handled crate base; slowly position under the base of the
crate, ensuring that the centre-line of the forklift corresponds to the centre-line of the crate;
• hoist the LDPU carefully by about 50 millimetres, checking it is parallel compared to the lorry bed;
• reverse slowly, but evenly, until the whole crate is completely out of the way of the lorry bed;
• lower immediately (very slowly and avoiding sudden stops when lowering) until the forks of the forklift are about 50 millimetres from the
ground;
• proceeding very slowly and carefully, put it in position.
Once the crate has been handled, one must place it near the LDPU installation area, in order to reduce any risks deriving from the manual handling of
weights.
DANGER
During hoisting and transportation operate with great caution, in order to prevent damage to people or things.
