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.
