7.15 Transporting or Shipping the Pump

Preparing the Pump for Transport
Page 178
If you want to transport the pump to a new location or if you need to
ship the pump, first prepare the pump for transport and then move or
ship the pump as required. Follow the instructions in this section.
Observe the following safety guidelines:
CAUTION—Heavy Load, Bulky Device
The pump is too heavy or bulky for one person alone to handle safely. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the pump, observe the following
guidelines:
• Physical handling of the pump, including lifting or moving, requires a
team effort of two persons.
• Use the carrying handles that were shipped with the pump to move
or transport the pump. Never move or lift the pump by the front
doors. This will damage the doors or the pump.
To prepare the pump for transport, follow these steps:
1. Perform a long-term shut down of the pump. See
Long-Term Shutdown, page
2. Turn off the pump with its main power switch and disconnect the
power cord.
3. Remove all cables and flow connections to other devices.
4. Close open flow connections with appropriate plugs, for example,
the plugs you removed when setting up the pump.
5. Pull the waste line out of the waste outlet port (see
page 63).
6. Check the leak tray and drain port. If liquid is present, absorb the
liquid with a tissue.
