5.5 Transporting the gerotor pump unit
)
See Figures 11 to 12
The gerotor pump unit is generally transported by the machine/
system builder. Its requirements for transportation of the gerotor
pump unit and the associated safety instructions must therefore be
observed.
Further, the following descriptions and safety instructions must like-
wise be observed.
WARNING
Use the provided lifting lugs to transport, set up, and install
the gerotor pump unit.
The permissible load capacity of the lifting lugs, lifting
ropes, lifting chains, or lifting equipment (crane, forklift)
may not be below the total weight of the gerotor pump
unit, including its packaging.
See the chapter “Technical data” for the permissible
total weight of the gerotor pump unit.
Add 20% to deter-
mine the load capacity.
