Upon receipt verify that the goods received are in exact compliance with that listed on the packing list.
Check that no visible damage exists on the crate that could have occurred during transportation.

B2- Transport
B2.1- General recommendations
Existing regulations for the prevention of accidents must be followed.
Wearing of gloves, hard-toed boots and hard hats is obligatory for all transport works.
Wooden cases, crates, pallets or boxes may be unloaded with fork-lift trucks or using hoisting
slings, depending on their size, weight and construction.
B2.2- Lifting
Prior to lifting and moving the pump or pump and motor on a common base plate find out the following:
Total weight and center of gravity
Maximum outside dimensions
Lifting points location
The load-bearing capacity must be proper to the weight of the pump or the pump set.
The pump or pump set must always be raised and transported in horizontal position.
It is absolutely forbidden to stand beneath or nearby a raised load.
A load should never remain in a raised position for longer than necessary.
Accelerating and braking during the lifting process must be performed such that there is no danger to persons.
When lifting the pump set lift them as shown in
Fig.1
to avoid any distortion (especially do not use the motor
eyebolt for carrying the complete unit).
