4.10.3 Lifting and transportation
● Persons driving cranes and fork lift trucks must hold appropriate qualifications.
● When lifting the machine, use only approved and undamaged sling guides and spreaders
of sufficient rated capacity. Check these before using them. The weight of the machine is
stated on the rating plate.
● When lifting the machine, refer to the information on the lifting plate:
– Comply with the specified spreading angles.
– Lift the machine without jerking it.
● When lifting, use only the load handling attachments on the stator casing, such as lifting
eyes or eye bolts.
WARNING
Transporting or lifting the machine
The machine or the machine set may be transported and lifted only using the load handling
attachments.
Otherwise, death, serious injury, or material damage may result.
1. Only use the load handling attachments on the stator frame to lift the motor.
2. Use suitable rope guidance or spreading devices. The weight of the machine is stated
on the rating plate.
WARNING
Center of gravity when transporting or lifting the motor
If the center of gravity of a load is not located centrally between the attachment points,
the motor can tip over or slip out of the lifting gear when it is being transported or lifted.
This can result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
1. Always take account of the center of gravity when transporting or lifting the machine.
The machine's center of gravity is indicated in the relevant dimension diagram.
2. Observe the handling instructions on the motor when transporting it. If the center of
gravity is not located centrally between the attachment points, then position the hoisting
hook above it.
3. Be aware of the possibility of different loads on the sling ropes or lifting straps and the
carrying capacity of the lifting equipment.
Note
Store the rotor locking device
Be sure to store the rotor locking device. It must be remounted for possible disassembly and
transport.
