3. IDENTIFICATION
Every pump unit is coming with separate name plate. This name
plate is having serial number, model, flow rate and head.
It is important that the serial number should be quoted while
claiming for spares or service. This will identify the unit exactly
and ensure that correct advice and parts are selected. If it is
known that any update or modification to the pump has been
carried out since original supply then this information is also
crucial (Refer Fig. No.
01
).
4. HANDLING
Pump set shifting and lifting shall be done using forklift or crane or hoist(refer Fig Nos.

the fire pump set it should be very careful not to broke or bend it. Column and shaft should be supported by suitably
sized timbers while laying on floor. Strainer if fitted on the pump should be removed prior to lifting to avoid using
it as a pivot point during lifting. Only lifting lugs on the discharge head should be used whenever the entire pump is
lifted as an assembled unit.
