RECEIVING THE PUMP
Check pump for shortages and damage immediately
upon arrival. (An absolute must!) Prompt reporting to
the carrier’s agent, with notations made on the freight
bill, will expedite satisfactory adjustment by the
carrier.
Pumps and drivers are normally shipped from the
factory mounted on a baseplate. Couplings may either
be completely assembled or have the coupling hubs
mounted on the shafts and the connecting members
removed. When the connecting members are
removed, they will be packaged in a separate
container and shipped with the pump or attached to
the baseplate.
LIFTING THE PUMP
The following instructions are for the safe lifting of
your pump.
The unit should be unloaded and handled by lifting
equally at four or more points on the baseplate. The
lugs on the upper half casing are designed for lifting
the upper half casing only.
