•
Lift the pump into position and bolt to foundations securely, ensuring that the pump and drive
assembly is supported to enable a balanced, vertical lift.
•
Only a qualified person should carry out electrical installation!
•
Connect the motor to the power supply, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Pay attention
to the direction of rotation of the pump when wiring the motor.
•
Check compatibility of the hose material with the product being pumped – this should have been
verified with your distributor.
•
If not already fitted, install the hose following the procedure described in Section 4.6 on Hose
Installation.
•
Check compatibility of the lubricant with the product being pumped; VERDERLUBE
®
is a
specially formulated food grade lubricant containing glycerine. In most cases this is a very stable
compound, but can react when mixed with certain types of substance such as nitrogenous
compounds including nitric acid.
•
If you are unsure of the chemical compatibility of your product with VERDERLUBE
®
, your
VERDER distributor will offer advice and if necessary, supply an alternative such as
VERDERSIL
®
, a silicone based lubricant.
•
Check the level of lubricant.
•
At all times the pump housing needs to be filled to a level between the two marks on the front
cover.
•
Lubricant may splash out of the breather tube at the rear of the pump if over filled.
