Lifting of suction barrel 2.3.5
Suction barrel (also referred as ‘Can’) is always
supplied separately and has to be installed into the
sump first. Install eyebolts on the flange of the
suction barrel and attach slings and straps to bring
the suction barrel to a vertical position. Move the
barrel for installation. Provide hand support to
prevent the suction barrel from swaying during
movement.
Example: Lifting of suction barrel
Lifting of fully assembled pumps 2.3.6
If the pump is fully assembled, it has to be
adequately strapped and supported at least two
places before it can be lifted from the shipping crate
and moved to the installation site. See details
shown. Same rules are applicable when the pump is
pulled out from the sump and moved to another
location.
