Notes on unloading large units
Large units must be specially packaged for transportation. When unloading, certain steps must be
taken to prevent excessive forces acting on the material. The intake funnel in particular can be
damaged or destroyed by such forces.
Please observe the following in-
structions for unloading
1
Place the packaging on to a firm foundation. Two hoisting gears are required. The work area
must not be restricted by obstacles.
2
Secure the first suspension cable to the pump section and the first hoisting gear.
3
Secure the second suspension cable to the two suspension eyelets on the motor section and
to the second hoisting gear.
Use steel cables as suspension straps which are suitable for carrying the
weight of the machine. The use of chains is strictly forbidden as they can
cause damage to the machine and may slip.
4
Tighten the suspension cables, remove the tensioning bands.
5
Carefully lift the machine, ensuring that it remains in a horizontal position.
6
Remove the packaging and any transport protection.
When removing the transport protection, please note the accompanying
information sheet.
7
Carefully move the unit to an upright position with the help of the two hoisting gears.
Pay attention that the machine does not come into contact with the
floor.
8
When the machine is in an upright position, it can be carefully put down. The foundation
must be suitable for the load. The unit must be secured against falling over or slipping.
9
The machine can now be prepared for the operating area. For more detailed information on
this, see the chapter on installation and starting-up as well as the respective accessory data
sheets in this operating and maintenance manual.
Danger - Suspended loads!
Please observe all guidelines, rules and legal requirements for
working with and underneath heavy suspended loads.
