5. Installing the pump(s)
Some versions come without the pump(s) installed. For
installation and startup of the pump, see the installation and
operating instructions for the pump.
5.1 Fitting the chain
For pumps on auto coupling, we recommend that you fit the chain
in the foremost lifting eye of the lifting bracket. The number of
lifting eyes depends on the pump.

Chain fitted to the pump
As it must be possible to pull the pump up through
the pit, the inlet pipe must not project beyond the
sleeve by more than 50 mm.

If the pit is to be installed at a temperature below 0
°C, loosen all bolts of the flanges and retighten them
when the pit has been installed.
This will prevent stress in the pipes.
Lower the pump(s) carefully into the pit in order to
avoid damage to pump(s) and pit.

WARNING
Crushing hazard
Death or serious personal injury
- The lifting equipment used for lifting the pump
must be rated for the weight of the pump,
approved and maintained according to local
regulations.
Chains supplied by Grundfos are marked with
maximum load and production date.
Do not exceed the maximum load.
Maintain the chain according to local regulations. We
recommend that you check chains and shackles
supplied by Grundfos at least once a year for cracks,
corrosion or other irregularities. If you find any
defects, replace the chain or shackles.
