Transport, storage, and disposal
5.1 Packaging
Observe the graphical symbols on the
packaging.
The pump’s suction and pressure sides and
auxiliary connections must be closed with
plugs during transport and storage.
►
Remove the plugs when installing the
pump unit.
5.2 Transportation
The pump or pump unit must be transported
safely to the place of installation, if necessary
through the use of lifting gear.
Danger!
Be aware of the danger of falling
and loss of stability. Observe the
requirements for lifting in
accordance with VBG 9a. Crane
equipment and attachment
equipment must be properly
dimensioned!
►
Attachment equipment may
not be fastened to the motor’s
eyelets, unless being used as
additional safety against tilting
when top-heavy.
Refer to the order-specific documents for
weight specifications.
When using a crane to transport a pump, place
the attachment ropes securely around the
suction casing. If transporting a complete
pump unit, attach an additional rope to the
drive motor.
The attachment ropes must be placed around
the pump and pump unit so that they are
precisely balanced during lifting.
Make sure that the pump unit is transported
safely and in a stable position to and at the
place of installation. Make sure that it cannot
tip over due to top-heaviness.
Notice!
When receiving the pump, inspect it
for transport damages. Immediately
report any damages!
