package in order to select proper lifting equipment.
Position and fastening
The pump or pump unit can be transported only hori-
zontally. Make sure that the pump or pump unit is
securely fastened during transportation and cannot
roll or fall over.
WARNING:
Do not use eyebolts screwed on the mo-
tor for handling the whole electric pump
unit.
Do not use the shaft end of the pump or
of the motor to handle the pump, the mo-
tor or the unit.
• Eyebolts screwed onto the motor may be exclu-
sively used to handle the individual motor or, in
case of a not balanced distribution of weights, to
partially lift the unit vertically starting from a hori-
zontal displacement.
Pump unit must always be fixed and transported as
shown in Figure 5 on page 382, and the pump with-
out motor must be fixed and transported as shown in
Figure 6 on page 382, Figure 7
Figure 8 on page 382.
