5.0. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION OF DIAPHRAGM PUMP
A typical setup configuration is shown in figure 7. Further information and consultation on pump
setup can be provided by your Ran Pump distributor.

WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE
Pump should fixed firmly to the ground or platform and should be fitted in a perpendicular position
as shown in Figure 5. Never place the pump at an angle, lying on the ground or upside down. The
pump will not run correctly and check valves and diaphragms will wear out very quickly due to
constant dry running.
When installing the pump ensure that it is balanced correctly when using a lifting device.(Figure 5)
