Transport and Storage
Check the specification on the nameplate of the pump and confirm that
pump supplied agrees with your purchase.
Observe safety notes 0.1.8 and 0.1.9.
All LEYVAC LVs are equipped with a single crane eye. The pump may be
lifted with a forklift. Alternatively use two nylon slings as hoisting devices
with a length of 3 m, a width of 50 mm, and a tensile load of min. 2 tons.
Before hoisting, check if the slings are in the position between castors and
adjustment feet (cf. Fig. 2.1), to ensure the pump will not slide off. The
slings’s eyes must be centre top during hoisting, to avoid a tending to one
side. The tension for the slings should be equal at the both sides.
The pumps are supplied filled with PFPE or synthetic oil. For this reason
they should, while being transported or shipped, not be subjected to tilting
by more than 10° with respect to the horizontal axis. Store the pumps only
horizontally standing on their feet.
