5.1 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
5.1.1 Checking the motor fill

position without
any further preparations. The motors are filled at the factory with water and
antifreeze agent. The loss of a few drops of liquid fill will not impair the motor
function as the motor will self-prime with clean well water after it has been installed.
If larger quantities of leakage are suspected, contact the manufacturer!
5.1.2 Checking the installation position
WARNING
Impermissible installation position
Damage to the machine! Damage to the bearings!
▷
For angled installation, always install the pump set with a rising slope towards
the discharge side.
The pump set can be installed in a vertical or, depending on the number of stages,
also in an angled or horizontal position.
The pump set must not be installed with the pump as the lowest point.

Particularities of horizontal installation
Check the following criteria before installing the pump set in a horizontal position:
▪
Has the pump set been ordered for horizontal installation?
▪
Has a sufficiently dimensioned cooling shroud or cooling hood been provided?
Pump sets originally selected for vertical installation must not be installed
horizontally.
Only pump sets equipped with cooling shrouds may be installed horizontally.
