Precautions for lifting the pump
WARNING:
Dropping, rolling or tipping units, or applying other shock loads, can cause property damage
and personal injury. Ensure that the unit is properly supported and secure during lifting and
handling.
Risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage. Proper lifting practices are critical to
safe transport of heavy equipment. Ensure that practices used are in compliance with all
applicable regulations and standards.
Lifting and handling heavy equipment poses a crush hazard. Use caution during lifting and
handling and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, such as steel-toed
shoes, gloves, etc.) at all times. Seek assistance if necessary.
Safe lifting points are specifically identified in this manual. It is critical to lift the equipment only
at these points. Unless otherwise indicated on the GA or Outline drawing, integral lifting eyes
or eye bolts on pump and motor components are intended for use in lifting the individual
components only.
