personnel.
• A professional rigging company should be consulted before lifting the pump
assembly.
• Only use properly sized, certified lifting equipment & lifting devices, including slings,
suitably rated for the weights to be lifted.
• Slings, when used, must be of identical materials to avoid differences in stretch rates.
• Do not use lifting devices that are frayed, kinked, unmarked, or worn.
• Lifting eyebolts fitted on single components of the assembly (pump or motor) must not
be used to lift the complete assembly.
• Failure to observe these instructions could result in equipment or property damage,
serious injury, or death.
The pump assembly can arrive in as a pump without base, or a base-mounted pump
(e-1532 only). Use the following recommended ways of handling e-1531 or e-1532 pump
assemblies. The pump assembly should remain horizontal during transport and lifting.
Table 1: Lifting methods
Pump typeLifting method
A pump without base.Use a suitable sling attached properly to solid points under the casing and motor.
A base-mounted pump.
(e-1532 only)
Lifting the pump less motor or the pump, motor, & baseplate should be done by
using lifting lugs provided on the baseplate, or by utilizing a forklift under the
entire unit. Always take extra precaution to ensure the weight is balanced & equally
distributed across both forks. When the baseplate of the assembly is structural
channel construction, the pump and base plate should be set in place first. The
motor should then be separately lifted & mounted to the unit.
