4 Transport and Handling
 WARNING
Tipping or falling can lead to crushing, broken
bones etc.! Sharp edges can cause cuts!
Wear personal safety equipment (gloves, safety
shoes and protective helmet) during transport!
 WARNING
Danger from tipping or falling loads!
Prior to transport and handling make sure that
all components are securely assembled and
secure or remove all components the fasteners
of which have been loosened!
Manual handling:
 WARNING
Danger from lifting heavy loads!
Manual handling of the unit is only permitted
within the following limits:
 max. 30 kg [max. 66 lbs] for men
 max. 10 kg [max. 22 lbs] for women
 max. 5 kg [max. 11 lbs] for pregnant women
For the weight of the pump-motor unit, see
Chapter 3.1, "Mechanical data",
Section "Weight", Pg. 7. For weights above the
given values use suitable lifting appliances and
handling equipment!
Handling by means of lifting equipment:
 WARNING
Danger from tipping or falling loads!
When transporting with lifting equipment,
observe the following basic rules:
 Before each transport, check the tight fit of
the eye bolt/lifting attachment, see
"Tightening torques for screw connections",
p. 10.
 The lifting capacity of lifting equipment and
lifting gear must be at least equal to the unit's
weight. For the weight of the pump-motor
unit, see Chapter 3.1, "Mechanical data",
Section "Weight", Pg. 7.
 The pump-motor unit must be secured so
that it cannot tip or fall.
 Do not stand or walk under suspended loads!
The transport must be carried out in different
ways depending on the type:
 2BH11., 2BH12., 2BH13., 2BH14., 2BH15.
(single-impeller): Manual handling
 2BH15. (two-impeller), 2BH16., 2BH18.,
2BH19., 2BH923…
Transport with crane, hooked onto eye
bolt/lifting attachment (1 attachment point)
 2BH1943:
Transport with crane, hooked with lifting belts
onto eye bolt and onto the holes in the two
feet of the vacuum pump/compressor housing
(3 attachment points).
For transport with a crane, the pump-motor unit
can be hooked into the crane hook as follows:
 directly on the eye bolt/lifting attachment
(With 2BH194 the eye bolt and the two foot
holes should be used)
or possibly
 with lifting belts.
Eye bolt/lifting attachment:
Types with a weight of up to 30 kg [66 lbs] are
not
equipped with an eye bolt/lifting attachment
(2BH11., 2BH12., 2BH13., 2BH14., 2BH15
[single-impeller]).
Types with a weight of more than 30 kg [66 lbs]
are equipped with an eye bolt/lifting attachment
as standard (2BH15. [two-impeller], 2BH16.,
2BH18., 2BH19., 2BH9…).
The eye bolt/lifting attachment is mounted on the
vacuum pump/compressor housing.
In case of possible removal and remounting of
the eye bolt, it must be ensured that the eye level
is positioned exactly in the axis direction of the
pump-motor unit. Lay shims under the eye bolt if
necessary.
The eye bolt/lifting attachment must be firmly
tightened.
Loads laterally to the ring level are not
permissible. Heavy impact loads during transport
must be avoided.
