Fig. 1: Transporting the pump
For lifting with a crane, the pump must be supported by suitable belts or load ropes, as
shown. Place belts or load ropes in loops around the pump, which tighten from the pump's
own net weight.
The transport lugs on the motor are only for guiding when the load is being carried! Never
lift or transport the load only by the transport lugs.
WARNING
Damaged transport lugs can break off and cause considerable
personal injury.
• Check the transport lugs before use for damage and secure fixation.
DANGER
Danger of death from falling parts!
The pump itself and pump parts can have a very high net weight. Falling
parts pose a risk of cuts, crush injuries, bruises or impacts, which can be
fatal.
• Always use suitable lifting accessories and secure parts against falling.
• Never stand below a suspended load.
• During storage and transport, as well as before all installation and as-
sembly work, ensure that the pump is in a safe position and standing
securely.
WARNING
Personal injury due to unsecured installation of the pump!
If the motor support has been removed, the pump can fall over when
stationary and injure people.
• Never set the pump down without motor support.
CAUTION
Damage due to incorrect handling during transport and stor-
age!
Protect the product from moisture, frost and mechanical damage during
transport and temporary storage.
Leave stickers on the pipe connections so that no dirt and other foreign matter can get into
the pump housing.
