3.2 Handling and lifting the product
S pumps weigh up to 8100 kg without accessories.
It is, therefore, crucial to use the right lifting
equipment.
The pump weight is stated on the nameplate.
Always use CE marked or locally accepted
lifting equipment.
DANGER
Crushing hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐
Always check the lifting bracket and
chain for corrosion or wear before lift-
ing.
‐
Always lift the pump by the marked lift-
ing points or a forklift truck.
DANGER
Crushing hazard
Death or serious personal injury
‐
Make sure the centre of gravity is be-
tween the forklift arms when lifting the
pump. The approximate centre of grav-
ity is marked with a label attached to
the transport stand.
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
‐
Never
lift the pump by the power ca-
bles.
Lifting the pump by the power cables may result in
electric short circuit and risk of electric shock when
the pump is connected to the main supply. The cables
and cable entries may be damaged, resulting in loss
of water resistance and severe damage to the motor.
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.
