Do not stand under raised loads.
8.2.1 Pump
• Depending on the locally applicable
regulations, the pump can be transported
either manually or by using suitable hoisting
equipment.
8.2.2 Pump unit
1.
Vertical mounting: Fasten the slings around
the adapter housing, see Fig. 1.
Horizontal mounting: Fasten the slings to
the pump unit at an appropriate angle, see
Fig. 2.
Ensure that the center of gravity of the
pump unit lies between and below the
attachment points. If this is not possible,
take other suitable measures to prevent the
pump unit from tilting.
2.
Secure the slings against slipping, for
example with screwed-in eye bolts.
3. Attach the slings onto the crane hook and
lift the pump unit.
8.3 Storage
During the test run, the internal components of
the pump are wetted with test oil, which has
a preservative effect. The pipe connections
are fitted with protective covers. The external
components of the pump are preserved with
a single-coat PU-based two-component paint.
The preservative applied at the factory will
protect the pump for about six weeks, if it
is stored in a dry and clean location. The
manufacturer offers a long-term preservation for
storage times of up to 60 months. With longterm
conservation the pump is additionally packed in
hermetically sealing anti-corrosion paper.
