2.3.1 Lifting Polybase baseplates with no
mounted equipment
a) Remove the fasteners that hold the Polybase to
the wooden pallet.
b) Slip two slings under the baseplate between
pallet cross-members as shown in Figure 2.1.
Slings should be positioned approximately one-
quarter to one-third the baseplate length from
each end.
c) Lift the Polybase a few inches off the pallet and
verify that it hangs reasonably level and that the
slings are not prone to slipping out of position.
d) If this slinging appears to be unstable, set the
baseplate back on the pallet and reposition the
slings. After satisfactory slinging has been
achieved, the baseplate may be hoisted onto its
foundation.
2.3.2
Lifting the Polybase baseplate with pump
and motor installed
a) Remove the fasteners that hold the Polybase to
the wooden pallet.
b) Install slings around the pump discharge nozzle
(except for PGRP pumps where the slings must
go around and through the adapter) and around
the outboard end of the motor frame using
choker hitches pulled tight. The motor sling
should be positioned so the weight is not carried
through the fan housing. Make sure the
completion of the choker hitch on the discharge
nozzle (or adapter arms) is toward the coupling
end of the pump shaft as shown in Figure 2.2.
2.3.3
Lifting the Polybase baseplate with only
the pump installed
a) Remove the fasteners that hold the Polybase to
the wooden pallet.
b) Install a sling around the pump discharge nozzle
using a choker hitch pulled tight (except for
PGRP pumps where the slings must go around
and through the adapter).
c) Install a second sling around the motor end of
the Polybase using a basket hitch (see Figure
2.2). Make sure the completion of the choker
hitch on the discharge nozzle is toward the
coupling end of the pump shaft. Refer to section
4.0 INSTALLATION for setting the base on the
foundation.
