5. Installation Information for installers
Installation operations may only be performed by qualified and experienced personnel.
Use suitable equipment and protective devices. Observe all accident prevention regulations.
Always refer to current local and/or national regulations, legislation and bylaws when choosing the
installation site and making water and power connections.
Prior to installation, read this operating manual, that of the electric pump, of the electrical panel (where
applicable) and of any accessories.
If the product shows evident signs of damage, do not proceed with installation, but contact the Technical Service Centre.
5.1 Choosing the installation position
5.1.1 Installing the station inside a building
Place the lifting station on a flat and level surface capable of bearing the weight of the station during
operation.
Leave at least 60 cm of free space around and above the station for installation and maintenance purposes.
Fix the lifting station so that it cannot rotate.
Protect the lifting station from frost and ventilate it to prevent the formation of toxic and/or flammable
gases.
Place the condenser holder and/or electric panel in a sheltered position, observing the limits indicated in
section 3.1.
5.1.2 Installing the station outside a building
Do not position the lifting station directly on the ground. The chosen area must not contain ground water or
be subject to flooding. Fix the station so as to prevent it from rotating and floating. The eyebolts at the
bottom of the tank can be used.
The base must be horizontal and capable of bearing the weight of the station while it is operating.
Depending on the characteristics of the ground it may be necessary to erect brick, prefab or concrete walls.
Fill the space between the hole and station with sand and compress it.
Protect the station from frost.
Do not drive vehicles over the cover.
Singlebox Plus / Doublebox Plus: in case of underground installation, the basin can withstand passing loads
of 100 kg.
Close the hole with a cover (manhole) or another method for simplifying subsequent maintenance operations. Erect signs indicating
the presence of the station to avoid accidental damage. Leave enough space around and above the lifting station for installation and
maintenance purposes.
Place the condenser holder and/or electric panel in a sheltered position, observing the limits indicated in
section 3.1.
After completing hydraulic and electrical connections, place clean sand around the basin to reduce any movements of the system
and/or surrounding ground.
5.1.3 Choosing the electric control panel
The station must be suitably protected against overloads and short circuits.
Make sure the panel power ratings match those of the pump. Incompatible combinations may cause faults
and fail to fully protect the motor.
Always refer to the electric pump manual and the instructions accompanying the electric panel.
