Never bend the lifting hooks, suspension rings,
chains, etc., which should only be made to endure
stresses within, calculated limits. Remember that the
capacity of a lifting device decreases when the
direction of the lifting force direction makes an angle
with the device axis.

To increase the safety and the efficiency of the lifting
device, all the lifting elements must be as
perpendicular as possible. If necessary a lifting
beam can be placed between the winch and the
load.

When heavy pieces are lifted up, never stay or work
under the load or in the area, which could be in the
path of the load if it were to swing or fall away.
Never leave a load hanging from a winch. The
acceleration or the slowing-down of lifting equipment
must stay in the safety limits for the staff.

A winch must be positioned in such a way that the
load will be raised perpendicularly. Where possible
necessary precautions must be taken to avoid the
swing of the load, using for example two winches
making approximately the same angle, below 30°,
with the vertical.

2.2.2 Pump masses
The masses of the pumps bare end of shaft are
shown on the nameplate.

All motors (for masses see the motor description
plate) must be handled with a winch.

For masses above 25 kg (55 lb), manual

handling is forbidden.

2.3 Lifting

2.3.1 Slinging of motor pumps units

Use handling means in accordance with motor

pump unit mass mentioned on the CE plate. For the
masses of the pumps bare end of shaft see table §
2.2.2 and nameplate.

To avoid distortion, the pump unit

should be lifted as shown.

Motor pump unit

Bareshaft pump

Components weighing less than 25 kg (55 lb)

can be handled manually following the correct
actions and using the correct posture.

When handling always wear gloves, safety

boots and an industrial safety helmet.

For masses above 25 kg (55 lb), manual

handling is forbidden.

2.4 Storage

Store the pump in a clean, dry

location away from vibration. Leave piping
connection covers in place to keep dirt and other
foreign material out of pump casing. Turn pump at
intervals to prevent brinelling of the bearings and the
seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.

Do not store pumps starting on the fan guard.

The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
