Pump, Base, and Driver (Model 150)
2. Care must be taken to size equipment for
unbalanced loads which may exist if the driver is
not mounted on the base at the time of lifting.
Driver may or may not be mounted at the factory.
3. Pump, base, and driver assemblies where the
base length exceeds 100 inches may not be safe
to lift as a complete assembly. Damage to the
baseplate may occur. If the driver has been
mounted on the baseplate at the factory, it is safe
to lift the entire assembly. If driver has not been
mounted at the factory and the overall baseplate
length exceeds 100 inches, do not lift entire
assembly consisting of pump, base, and driver.
Instead lift the pump and baseplate to its final
location without the driver. Then mount the driver.
Bases supplied with lifting holes
Large bases are supplied with lifting holes in the
sides or the ends of the base. (See Fig. 4)
Using ANSI/OSHA Standard “S” hooks, place the “S”
hooks in the holes provided in the four corners of the base.
Be sure the points of the hooks do not touch the bottom of
the pump base. Attach nylon slings, chains, or wire rope to
the “S” hooks. Size the equipment for the load, and so the
lift angle will be less than 45° from the vertical.
Bases supplied without lifting holes
Place one sling around the outboard bearing housing.

! WARN ING
Do not use lugs on top half of casing.
Place the remaining sling around the back end of the driver
as close to the mounting feet as possible. Make certain
sling will not damage housing cover or conduit boxes.
Join the free ends of the slings together and place over
the lifting hook. Use extreme care when positioning sling
under the driver so it cannot slip off. (See Fig. 5)
VERTICAL
Half Pedestal (Model 200)
1. Place nylon sling chain or wire rope around both
flanges. Use a latch hook or standard shackle and
end loops.
Be sure the lifting equipment is of sufficient length
to keep the lift angle less than 30° from the
vertical. (See Fig. 6)
