NOTICE
The pump will not prime if there is a leak in the suction line.
Ensure that the suction line cannot leak.
Adapters with large nominal diameters and approx. 8° extending angles should be used in order to
avoid pressure loss.
No stress or torque from the pipe system may affect the pump.
Clean the pump/unit.
NOTICE
The anti-friction bearings can be destroyed due to incorrect earthing when welded to the pipework
(pitting effect)!
Never use the pump or base plate as earthing.
Avoid a current flow through the anti-friction bearings.
5.3 Installation
The pump can either be installed below the water level in intake mode or above the water level in suction

5.3.1 Installing the pump and connecting it to the pipework
1. Install the pump in a vertical or horizontal and dry position. When installing the pump, align the pump
with the discharge outlet using a spirit level.
NOTICE
The motor can be damaged due to insufficient drainage!
Do not block or seal the drain gap between the pump housing and the motor.
NOTICE
The threads can be damaged and therefore the effectiveness of the seal compromised due to
incorrect sealing!
NOTICE
The pump can be damaged by unauthorised mechanical strains being placed on the pump!
Take the pipe up directly before the pump and connect it free of tension.
