CAUTION: LOSS OF STABILITY DURING TRANSPORT
Uncontrolled movement due to faulty attaching/lifting/carrying/rolling or moving the
vacuum pump. For vertical and horizontal transport, use only the attachment points and
transport means described in this manual.
NOTICE:
The pumps are supplied filled with synthetic oil. For this reason they should, while being
transported or shipped, not be subjected to much tilting (10° max.). Store the pumps only
horizontally standing on their feet.
Use a suitable fork-lift truck or pallet truck to move the pump on its pallet, close to where
you will install it.
Remove all packing materials.
Lift the pump at the crane eyes. Use all crane eyes. Ensure that it cannot tip over.
