Pumps are provided with two lift holes placed on the upper part of the frame.
While lifting the pump, respect the following points :
- Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting holes plus additional support on the gearbox and the
motor using suitably rated straps or slings.
- Never exceed the upper limits of lift and control the motorized pump weights in the table below.
- The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend to overbalance on the pump head side.
Make sure that the persons are at a security distance of the pump to avoid any risk of wound.
- Never raise the pump otherwise than by the pump’s lifting rings.
- Never raise the pump by it’s orifices.
