Lifting
Death or serious personal injury and
damage to the pump or components
can occur if proper lifting procedures
are not observed. Make certain that
hoists, chains, slings or cables are in
good working condition and of suffi­
cient capacity and that they are posi­
tioned so that loads will be balanced
and the pump or components will not be
damaged when lifting. Do not attempt to
lift this pump by the motor or control
cables, or the piping. Attach proper lift­
ing equipment to the lifting bail fitted on
the pump. Lift the pump or component
only as high as necessary and keep per­
sonnel away from suspended objects.
Pump unit weights will vary depending on the
mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping
tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and
use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.
Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed
equipment such as suction and discharge hoses
or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed
units.
Positioning the Pump
NOTE
Before installing and operating the pump, check
the direction of impeller rotation to ensure that the
pump is properly wired at the control box. See IM­
PELLER ROTATION, SECTION C.
This pump may be mounted on guide rails or
cables for use with optional discharge elbow/base­
plate kits, or it may be mounted on a trash stand
with an optional discharge elbow.
If the pump is configured for a guide rail/guide
cable application, the pump will be equipped with
a rail guide shoe which connects to the discharge
optional elbow/baseplate. When lowered into
place, the pump is automatically and securely con­
nected to the elbow/baseplate and the piping sys­
tem. For information on installing the guide rails,
see the literature accompanying them.
NOTE
When engaging the guide shoe and elbow/base­
plate, make sure that the connection is not impeded
by mounting hardware, and that the guide shoe is
fully seated in the baseplate.
To install a pump configured for a guide rail/guide
cable application, engage the guide shoe at the
top of the guide rails and use a suitable lifting de­
vice attached to the lifting handle to lower the
pump into the wet well. When the pump and guide
shoe engages the discharge elbow/baseplate, it
will form an automatic seal.
If the pump is mounted on a trash stand, secure a
discharge hose or pipe to the optional discharge
elbow and use a suitable lifting device attached to
the lifting handle to lower the pump into the wet
well.
