Dry Pumping Systems With Optional Castors - Edwards EXS Series Instruction Manual

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 through the specified position of the base frame of the dry pumping
system. The base frame has cut‐outs for forklift access.
Refer to the
information.
▪ Lift the dry pumping system by the lifting bracket.
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 brackets to enable lifting. Refer to
Front view
Ensure that all the lifting brackets are used when lifting the dry pumping system.

5.2.1 Dry pumping systems with optional castors

WARNING:
Dry pumping systems fitted with castors should only be wheeled short distances over
flat surfaces. If the floor surface is uneven or has obstacles, the dry pumping system
should be lifted with suitable lifting equipment.
Dry pumping systems are supplied with an option of castors. For dry pumping systems
fitted with castors, it is important to note that the castors are intended only to aid the
manoeuvre of the dry pumping system into its final operating position. Dry pumping
systems should be moved near to their final operating positions using either a forklift or
pallet truck or lifted via the lifting brackets as described above.
The force required to push a dry pumping system on its castors varies greatly depending
on the surface finish, cleanliness of the floor and any slopes or inclines.
It is your responsibility to carry out a risk assessment of their location and take
appropriate measures to ensure that the dry pumping system is manoeuvred safely and
in accordance with local and national manual handling guidelines.
