3.2 Lifting the product
Lifting the pump by the power cables while the pump
is connected to the mains may have the following
results:
•
short circuit and risk of electric shock
•
damage to the cables and cable entries, leading
to loss of watertightness and consequent severe
damage to the motor.
Carelessness during lifting or transportation may
cause injury to persons or damage to the pump.
If the pump is tilted more than 10 ° in any direction
from its normal position (EN 809, 5.2.1.4), the pump
may lose its stability.
Lifting points
Use two lifting points to keep the pump balanced and
to ensure that the pump can be lifted in a safe way.
