LIFTING THE PUMP/SUB-BASE

physical injury or damage to pumps.


Use care when moving pumps. Lifting equipment must be
able to adequately support the entire assembly. Lift
assembled unit by the lifting holes found in the sub-base.
If the motor, sheaves, and guard are in place, be sure that
the lifting cable or chain clears these components. If
necessary remove the guard or use a spreader bar to
prevent damage. In case the motor ships separate use the
eyebolts or lifting lugs found on the motor to hoist it into
place on the sub-base.
