Fixing the
KLT “Elephant”
The KLT "Elephant" is a special submersible pump, which is suitable for vertical fixation (using
excavators, telescopic handlers, jib cranes, etc.).
For horizontal mounting of the pump, see Chapter 4.2.
Warning!
Improper fixation can lead to the pump falling or tipping over.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Use only lifting gear with sufficient lifting capacity.
Hoists must have a safety hook which prevents the load slipping out.
For fixation of the pump, use only suitable lifting tackle (steel cables according to the
norm DIN EN1792 or chains complying with DIN 81814) with adequate load-bearing
capacity.
Make the pressure connection of the pump as far as possible via a flexible pressure pipe.
Bear in mind that these can cause unexpected blows by sudden surges of pressure.
The danger zone around pump and hoist areas is to be made secure, so that it is out of the
reach of the upper and lower limbs.
