Installation
•
The crankshaft may turn in either direction.
•
The water connection with the pump must be made using hoses of suitable diameter, in all case no less
than that of the pump fittings, securing them to the fittings using good quality clamps. The intake hose
must be coil-reinforced to prevent restrictions.
•
The pump inlet must be fitted with a filter having suitable capacity for the pump delivery rate and
must be designed to generate a vacuum of no more than -
7
H
g. This value can be measured by
connecting a vacuum gauge to the pump intake fitting.
•
The rated pressure of the outlet hose, fittings and clamps must be no less than the maximum rated
pressure of the pump. Replacing the intake and outlet fittings provided on the pump by the
manufacturer with smaller diameter alternatives may reduce the pump's performance and void the
warranty.
Mounting the pump
The pump must be installed on a horizontal surface with no flexible components between it and the mounting
surface.
The illustration shows the maximum permitted pump installation angle beyond which proper lubrication of
the crank mechanism is not ensured.
Fix the pump
by bolting the pump base onto the machine with suitable bolts, tightening appropriately.
