3. Delivery and handling

The pump may be transported and stored in a
vertical or horizontal position. Make sure that it
cannot roll or fall over.

3.1 Transportation

All lifting equipment must be rated for the purpose
and checked for damage before any attempts to lift
the pump. The lifting equipment rating must under no
circumstances be exceeded. The pump weight is
stated on the nameplate.
Warning
Always lift the pump by its lifting bracket or
by means of a fork-lift truck if the pump is
fixed on a pallet. Never lift the pump by
means of the motor cable or the hose/pipe.
The polyurethane-embedded plug prevents water
from penetrating into the motor via the motor cable.

3.2 Storage

For long periods of storage, the pump must be
protected against moisture and heat.
After a long period of storage, the pump should be
inspected before it is put into operation. Make sure
that the impeller can rotate freely. Pay special
attention to the shaft seals and the cable entry.

3.3 Lifting points

When lifting the pump, it is important to use the right
lifting point to keep the pump balanced. Place the
lifting chain hook in point A for auto-coupling
installations and in point B for other installations. See
fig. 2.
