Pump type
Lifting method
A base-mounted pump.
Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate should be done by
using lifting lugs provided on the baseplate, or by utilizing a forklift under the
entire unit. 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.
