Delivery, handling, and
storage
5.1
Delivery
The pump is delivered from the factory in a container
specially designed for transport by fork-lift truck or a
similar vehicle. Upon receipt, check the pump visually to
determine whether any damage has happened during
transport or handling.
Pumps and drivers are normally shipped from the factory
mounted on a baseplate. Parts and accessories can be
packaged in a separate container and shipped with the pump
or attached to the baseplate.
If any damage has occurred, promptly notify the carrier’s
agent.
5.2
Handling
WARNING
Personal protective equipment should be
worn when handling this equipment.
Transportation & installation of this
equipment should only be performed by
qualified personnel. A professional rigging
company should be consulted before lifting
the pump assembly. Only use properly sized,
certified lifting equipment & lifting devices,
including slings, suitably rated for the weights
to be lifted. Slings, when used, must be of
identical materials to avoid differences in
stretch rates. Do not use lifting devices that
are frayed, kinked, unmarked, or worn. Lifting
eyebolts fitted on single components of the
assembly (pump or motor) must not be used
to lift the complete assembly. Failure to
observe these instructions could result in
equipment or property damage, serious
injury, or death.
NOTICE
Dispose of all packing materials in accordance
with local regulations.
The pump assembly can arrive in a variety of ways. It can be
shipped as pump end only (bare pump), pump less motor, or
pump, motor, & baseplate. Use the following recommended
ways of handling pump assemblies.
The pump assembly should remain horizontal during
transport and lifting.
5.2.1 Bare Shaft Pump (Model 100)
Lifting the pump end only (bare pump) should be done by
placing one end of the slings around or as close to the
casing barrel as possible (See Fig. 1). After the slings are
attached to the unit, recheck to ensure they are securely
in place. Make sure the slings are adjusted to obtain an
even lift.

5.2.2 Complete Pump unit (Model 150M)
5.2.2.1 Lifting Pump, Motor and Baseplate
Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate
should be done by utilizing a forklift under the entire unit
(Fig.2). Always take extra precaution to ensure the weight is
balanced & equally distributed across both forks. When the
baseplate of the assembly is structural channel construction,
the pump and base plate should be set in place first. The
motor should then be separately lifted & mounted to the unit.
Pump, base, and driver assemblies where the base length
exceeds 100 inches may not be safe to lift as a complete
assembly. Damage to the baseplate may occur. If the driver
has been mounted on the baseplate at the factory, it is safe to
lift the entire assembly. If driver has not been mounted at the
factory and the overall baseplate length exceeds 100 inches,
do not lift the entire assembly consisting of pump, base, and
driver. Instead lift the pump and baseplate to its final location
without the driver. Then mount the driver.
