CAUTION
Pump and components are heavy. Failure to properly lift
and support equipment could result in serious physical
injury or damage to the equipment. Steel-toed shoes
must be worn at all times.
Use a forklift or an overhead crane with sufficient
capacity to move the equipment. Failure to do so
can result in physical injury or equipment damage.

spreaders, etc. must be rated to support the entire weight of equipment.
Equipment and their components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods and wear steel-toed shoes at all
times.
Do NOT lift equipment by shaft ends.
Do NOT combine or interchange different lifting methods.
