2.2 Transportation guidelines

Precautions
WARNING:
• Observe accident prevention regula-
tions in force.
• Crush hazard. The unit and the com-
ponents can be heavy. Use proper
lifting methods and wear steel-toed
shoes at all times.
Check the gross weight that is indicated on the
package in order to select proper lifting equipment.
Position and fastening
The pump or pump unit can be transported only hori-
zontally. Make sure that the pump or pump unit is
securely fastened during transportation and cannot
roll or fall over.
WARNING:
Do not use eyebolts screwed on the mo-
tor for handling the whole electric pump
unit.
Do not use the shaft end of the pump or
of the motor to handle the pump, the mo-
tor or the unit.
• Eyebolts screwed onto the motor may be exclu-
sively used to handle the individual motor or, in
case of a not balanced distribution of weights, to
partially lift the unit vertically starting from a hori-
zontal displacement.
Pump unit must always be fixed and transported as
shown in Figure 5 (page 335), and the pump without
motor must be fixed and transported as shown in
Figure 6 (page 335).
In this last case remove coupling guards from drive
lantern and cross the lifting ropes/bands.
