3.4 Transport for installation/dismant-
ling purposes
Installation and operating instructions • Wilo-Stratos GIGA, Wilo-Stratos GIGA-D, Wilo-Stratos GIGA B • Ed.01/2024-02
If available, leave the covers on the pipe connections so that no dirt and other foreign mat-
ter can get into the pump housing.
To avoid scoring at the bearings and sticking, turn the pump shaft once a week using a
socket wrench.
If a longer storage time is required, contact Wilo for preservation measures.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to incorrect transport!
If the pump is transported again at a later date, it must be packaged so
that it cannot be damaged during transport. Use the original packaging
for this or choose equivalent packaging.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury!
Incorrect transport can lead to personal injury!
• Unload boxes, lathed spaces, pallets or cartons, depending on the size
and construction, with forklift trucks or with slings.
• Always lift heavy parts of more than 30 kg with hoisting gear that is in
accordance with local regulations.
– The bearing capacity has to be adapted to the weight!
• Transport the pump using approved lifting gear (block and tackle,
crane etc.). Lifting gear must be attached to the pump flanges and, if
necessary, to the outer motor diameter.
– Securing against slipping is required for this!
• When lifting machines or parts with eyelets, only use load hooks or
shackles that are in accordance with local safety regulations.
• Transport lugs on the motor, if present, are only for transporting the
motor. They are not approved for transporting the complete pump.
• Use a guard if load chains or ropes are guided over or through eyelets
or over sharp edges.
• When using a block and tackle or similar hoisting gear, make sure that
the load is lifted vertically.
• Prevent the suspended load from swinging.
– Swinging can be avoided by using a second block and tackle. The
direction of pull of both block and tackles must be less than 30° to
the vertical.
• Never subject load hooks, eyelets or shackles to bending forces - their
load axes have to be in the direction of the tractive forces!
• When lifting, make sure that the load limit of a load rope is reduced
for diagonal pulling.
– The safety and effectiveness of a stranding is best ensured when
all load-bearing elements are loaded in the vertical direction to the
greatest extent possible. If required, use a lifting arm which can be
attached vertically to the load rope.
• Set up a safety zone in such a way that there is no danger if the load
or a part of the load slips or the hoisting gear breaks or tears.
• Never leave a load longer than necessary in a suspended position!
Make sure there is no danger to the personnel when accelerating and
slowing down during the lifting procedure.
