• 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.
• The pump must be transported using approved load-bearing
equipment (e.g. block and tackle, crane, etc.). This must be secured
to the pump flanges and, if necessary, to the outer diameter of the
motor (protection against slipping is required!).
• When lifting machines or parts using eyes, only use load hooks or
shackles that are in accordance with local regulations.
• To lift with the crane, the pump must be supported by suitable
belts as shown in (Fig. 28). Place loops around the pump which
tighten from the pump's own weight.
• The transport eyes on the motor are only for guiding while bearing
the load (Fig. 29).
• The transport eyes on the motor are only for transporting the
motor and are not approved for transporting the complete pump
(Fig. 30).
• If load chains or ropes are put over sharp edges, a guard has to be
used or they have to be put through eyes.
• When using pulley block or other hoisting gear, be sure that the
load is lifted vertically.
• Prevent the suspended load from swinging. This can be done, for
example, by using a second pulley block, whereby the pulling
direction of the two pulley blocks should be less than 30° to verti-
cal.
• Never subject load hooks, eyes or shackles to bending forces –
their load axes have to be in the direction of the tractive forces.
• When lifting, be sure that the load limit of a 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 need be, 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 in the
event that 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.
Be sure there is no danger to personnel when accelerating and
slowing down during the lifting procedure.
WARNING! Danger of personal injury!
Setting up the pump without securing it can lead to personal injury.
• Do not place the pump unsecured on the pump base. The base with
the threaded holes is only used for attachment. When standing
freely, the pump might not be sufficiently stable.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to high dead weight!
The pump itself and pump parts can be extremely heavy. Falling
parts pose a risk of cuts, crush injuries, bruises or impacts which
may lead to death.
• Always use suitable lifting equipment and secure parts against fall-
ing.
• Never stand underneath a suspended load.
• Make sure the pump is securely positioned and is stable during
storage and transport as well as prior to all installation and other
assembly work.
• Always wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective
goggles when working.
