serious or even fatal injuries!
Have you read the safety precautions in
Chapter 1, "Safety", Pg. 3 f.?
Otherwise you may not carry out any work with
or on the machine!
 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!
 CAUTION
Tipping or falling can lead to crushing,
broken bones etc.!
Sharp edges can cause cuts!
Wear personal safety equipment (protective
helmet, protective gloves, safety shoes) during
transport!
Packing:
In case of a separate delivery, the pump-motor
unit is packed in a carton.
In the case of a group delivery, the pump-
motor units are packed in cardboard boxes or
screen boxes on pallets.
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!
 WARNING
Danger from tipping or falling loads!
Do not hold the pump-motor unit on the
capacitors or cable glands on the terminal box!
Handling by means of lifting equipment:
 WARNING
Danger from tipping or falling loads!
When transporting with lifting equipment,
observe the following basic rules:
 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 hook the pump-motor unit onto the
capacitors or cable glands on the terminal
box!
 Do not stand or walk under suspended
loads!
Use two lifting belts, of which one is routed
under the interface between the motor housing
and the vacuum pumps/compressor housing,
and the other under the interface between the
motor housing and the fan guard.
When transporting the pump-motor unit, make
sure that attached fittings are not damaged.
 WARNING
Danger from tipping loads!
Be sure to observe the routing of the strap
belts under the pump-motor unit, even if the
motor is provided with attachment points such
as transport eyes or eye bolts.
These are solely designed for the separate
transport of the motor, however not for the
different weight distribution that results for the
mounted vacuum pump/mounted compressor,
so that the unit could tip!
