Lifting and Transporting
Lifting the
machine
This pump is heavy enough to cause injury if proper lifting techniques are not used.
Observe the following guidelines when lifting the pump.
Do not attempt to lift the pump unassisted. Use appropriate lifting equipment
such as slings, chains, hooks, ramps, or jacks.
Make sure lifting equipment is attached securely and has enough weight-
bearing capacity to lift or hold the pump safely.
Remain aware of the location of other people nearby when lifting the pump.
Transporting
the machine
Observe the following guidelines when transporting the pump to and from the job
site.
Drain the fuel tank before transporting the pump.
Ensure that the pump is securely strapped down in the transport vehicle to
prevent it from sliding or tipping.
Do not refuel the pump in or on the transport vehicle. Move the pump to its
operating location and then fill the fuel tank.
