MOVING AND TRANSPORT
1. Given the limited weight and size of the pumps (see overall dimensions), moving the pumps
does not require the use of lifting devices.
2. The pumps were carefully packed before shipment. Check the packing material on delivery
and store in the dry place.
INSTALLATION
1. DISPOSING OF THE PACKING MATERIAL
The packing material does not require special precautions, not being in any way dangerous or
polluting.
Refer to local regulations for its disposal.
2. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
• Check that the machine has not suffered any damage during transport or storage.
• Clean the inlet and outlet openings, removing any dust or residual packing material.
• Make sure that the motor shaft turns freely.
• Check that the electrical specifications correspond to those shown on the identification plate.
3. POSITIONING THE PUMP
• The pump can be installed in any position (pump axis vertical or horizontal)
.
• Attach the pump using screws of adequate diameter for the attachment holes provided in the
base of the pump (see the section “OVERALL DIMENSIONS” for their position and dimen-
sion).
THE MOTORS ARE NOT OF AN ANTI-EXPLOSIVE TYPE. Do not install them where
inflammable vapours can be present.
4. CONNECTING THE TUBING
• Before connection, make sure that the tubing and the suction tank are free of dirt and thread
residue that could damage the pump and its accessories.
• Before connecting the delivery tube, partially fill the pump body with diesel fuel to facilitate
priming.
• Do not use conical threaded joints that could damage the threaded pump openings if
excessively tightened.
SUCTION TUBING:
- Minimum recommended nominal diameter: 1"
- Nominal recommended pressure: 10bar / 145psi
- Use tubing suitable for functioning under suction pressure
DELIVERY TUBING:
- Minimum recommended nominal diameter: 1"
- Nominal recommended pressure: 10bar/145psi
It is the installer’s responsibility to use tubing with adequate characteristics.
The use of tubing unsuitable for use with diesel fuel can damage the pump, injure
persons and cause pollution.
Loosening of the connections (threaded connections, flanging, gasket seals) can cause
serious ecological and safety problem.
Check all the connections after the initial installation and on a daily basis after that.
Tighten the connections, if necessary.
