means of shackles for transportation, installation or removal.
Take note of the entire weight of the unit (see nameplate Figure 2). The hoist and chain must be
adequately dimensioned for the weight of the unit and must comply with the current valid safety
regulations. Good technical practice must be observed.

surface, taking care that it cannot topple over.

3.2
Transport securing devices
3.2.1
Motor connection cable moisture protection
The motor connection cables are protected against the ingress of moisture along the cable by having the ends
sealed at manufacture with protective covers.
ATTENTION
These protective covers should only be removed immediately prior to connecting the
pumps electrically.
Particular attention is necessary during storage or installation of units in locations, which could fill with water
prior to laying and connection of the power cable of the motor. Please note that the cable ends, even where
fitted with protective sleeves, must not be immersed in water.
ATTENTION
These protective covers only provide protection against water spray or similar and
are not a watertight seal. The ends of the cables should not be immersed in water,
otherwise moisture could enter the connection chamber of the motor.
NOTE
If there is a possibility of water ingress then the cables should be secured so that the
ends are above the maximum possible flood level. Take care not to damage the cable
or its insulation when doing this!
