Pump mounting
Lifting method
A bare pump
Place a nylon sling, chain, or wire rope around both bearing housings.
A pump mounted on a base that
has lifting holes
WARNING:
If
the
driver
has
been
mounted
on
the
baseplate
at
the
factory,
then
it
is
safe
to
lift
the
entire
assembly.
CAUTION:
Take care to size equipment for unbal-
anced loads that may exist if the driver is
not mounted on the base at the time of
lifting. The driver may or may not be
mounted at the factory.
Attach nylon slings, chains, or wire rope to ANSI/OSHA Standard S
hooks. Then attach the hooks in the holes provided in the four corners
of the base. Make sure that the points of the hooks do not touch the
bottom of the pump base. Size the equipment for the load so that the
lift angle is less than 45° from the vertical.
A pump mounted on a base
that does not have lifting holes
Place one sling around the outboard bearing housing and place
the another sling around the back-end of the driver as close to
the mounting feet as possible. Make certain that the sling will
not damage the housing cover or conduit boxes. Join the free
ends of the slings together and place over the lifting hook.
1. Nylon sling, chain, or wire rope
2. Do not lift the entire pump with these lugs
3. Choker hitch around the bearing frame
