Avoid working under suspended loads. If necessary to do so, follow the more stringent of local,
state or federal safety regulations.
CAUTION:
Refer to
2.3.1 Lifting methods on page 11
Pump may need to be assembled in a horizontal or vertical position depending on site conditions. Refer
to assembly and erection drawing in appendix for specific instructions.
1.
Check that all fasteners are tight and turn the pump shaft by hand to make sure it turns freely.
2.
Remove all accumulated dust, oil, or other foreign material from the external surfaces.
3.
Place two I-beam supports across the barrel opening that are strong enough to safely support the
weight of the entire pump assembly.
NOTICE:
I-beams and lifting clamps can be provided by ITT upon request. If I-beams and lifting clamps
are supplied by ITT the "Pump Installation Instructions (w/ Lifting Clamps)" IOM should be
used.
Connect these I-beams with threaded rods and nuts so you can clamp them firmly together for the
portion to be supported.
