WARNING
•
All openings are sealed with plastic parts or plasticized adhesives.
•
Depending on the type of packaging contracted, they are either placed on a wooden pallet and covered with heat-
weldable plastic, or placed in a cage-type wooden box or totally closed. In all cases the equipment is firmly secured to
prevent movement during transport and handling.
These protections are exclusively for transport and at most for short term storage. In any case, the following storage
instructions must be followed.
THE PUMP AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE HEAVY. IMPROPER HANDLING DURING HANDLING AND HOISTING
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
4.1
Transportation and Handling
The transport and handling of the equipment must be carried out with means suitable for the weight to be supported; the weight
is generally indicated on the delivery note or on the nameplate; if this is not the case and there is no certainty of being able to
handle the equipment, please contact VOGT. to indicate the weight. For handling, the equipment that requires it has appropriate
eyebolts on the base plate. However, remember that the equipment must never be lifted by means of the eyebolts of each one of
its elements, e.g., engine and pump eyebolts, which are exclusive for their independent transport. Neither should the flanges of
pumps and pipes be used, nor should connecting elements, e.g. couplings. In any case, if the equipment is to be lifted by
means of slings, these must pass under the pump and motor bodies.
