1.2.2Handling
Check the mass (weight) of the pump unit. All parts weighing more than 20 kg must be lifted using lifting slings and suitable lifting devices, e.g. overhead crane or industrial truck. See section 6.6 Weights – Mass.
Always use two or more lifting slings. Make sure they are secured in such a way as to prevent them from slipping. The pump unit should be lifted in a horizontal position.
Never lift the pump unit with only two fastening points. Incorrect lift can cause personal injury and/or damage to the pump unit.
1.2.3Storage
If the pump is not commissioned immediately, the shaft should be turned a full turn once every week. This ensures a proper distribution of the protective oil.
