Lifting eyebolts
When lifting eyebolts are used for lifting the unit, the following guidelines apply:
• they always have to be screwed in firmly against the base
• they must be level with each other
• the angle between them must not be greater then 90°
Lifting equipment
Lifting equipment is always required when handling the unit. It must fulfill the following
requirements:
• The minimum height (contact your local sales and service representative for
information) between the lifting hook and the floor must be sufficient to lift the unit.
• The lifting equipment must be able to hoist the unit straight up and down, preferably
without the need for resetting the lifting hook.
• The lifting equipment must be securely anchored and in good condition.
• The lifting equipment must support weight of the entire assembly and must only be
used by authorized personnel.
• Two sets of lifting equipment must be used to lift the unit for repair work.
• The lifting equipment must be dimensioned to lift the unit with any remaining pumped
media in it.
• The lifting equipment must not be oversized.
NOTICE:
Oversized lifting equipment could cause damage if the unit should stick when being
lifted.
Temperature ranges for transportation, handling and storage
Handling at freezing temperature
At temperatures below freezing, the product and all installation equipment, including the
lifting gear, must be handled with extreme care.
Make sure that the product is warmed up to a temperature above the freezing point before
starting up. Avoid rotating the impeller/propeller by hand at temperatures below the
freezing point. The recommended method to warm the unit up is to submerge it in the
liquid which will be pumped or mixed.
NOTICE:
Never use a naked flame to thaw the unit.
Unit in as-delivered condition
If the unit is still in the condition in which it left the factory - all packing materials are
undisturbed - then the acceptable temperature range during transportation, handling and
storage is: –50°C (–58ºF) to +60°C (+140ºF).
