INSTALLATION

Tighten Fasteners Before Setup

Before using the pump for the first time, 

check and retorque the housing bolts (23). 
Also the valve stops of the discharge valves 

(09) have to be checked. Also after the first 

day of operation, after periods of important 
temperature

fluctuations, after transport, after 

dismantling of the pump and after periods 

when the pump hasn’t been working the 

stops, plugs and housing bolts have to be 
checked. For the housing bolts please use 
the torque values as mentioned on page 22.
