2. Installation
2.1 Location
When selecting an installation site or designing a chemical feed system, plan for operation and routine
maintenance. Provide 3.25 ft ( 1 m) of space around the pump for this purpose.
PULSA GLM pumps are designed to operate in an environment where the pump is protected from direct
sunlight, and precipitation (i.e., under shelter). The ambient temperature must be between 32
°
F (0
°
C) and
104
°
F (40
°
C). If necessary add environmental controls.
The pump must be rigidly bolted to a solid and flat foundation to minimize vibration and prevent loosening
of the connections. The pump must be level within 5
°
to assure proper check valve operation.
2.2 Motor
The PULSA GLM is not typically shipped with the motor pre-installed. It must be mounted and wired in
accordance with local and national requirements by a qualified electrician. Please refer to the motor
nameplate for further manufacture specific information.
If the PULSA GLM was purchased less motor, please refer to section 5.4 Motor Installation for further
instructions.
