3. Installation and operation
3.1 Purpose of this chapter
Chapter 3, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION, provides the main information required for
proper installation and the procedures for starting and stopping the pumps.
3.2 Safety rules
• Always carry the pump by means of the handles provided.
• The pump must be set in position taking the utmost care in order to avoid accidental
falls.
WARNING : In case of a need to handle the pump after a period of operation, it must be
left to cool first as the external surface temperature may be in excess of 60 °C.
3.3 Transport and installation
The pumps are shipped to the customer inside cardboard boxes. Total weight of the pack,
including the pump, is 40 kg [daN]. The case must be handled with care, using appropriate
lifting equipment.
CAUTION : When moving the case, ensure that it is securely bound to the lifting equipment
and that the equipment is strong enough to support the weight.
The pump’s working environment is a traditional industrial environment. Naturally sites with
corrosive vapors or excessive heat are best avoided. Room temperature should ideally be
between 12 °C and 45 °C. If the temperature is not inside this range, consult GALILEO TP
technical service for the changes required. Setting the pump in position should be
performed as follows:
• Pump laid on the ground. There are no special instructions for this type of installation,
except that the floor should be as flat as possible and suited to bear the weight of the
pump (it should ideally be a concrete floor) and of any accessories mounted on it. Verify
that the pump is stable on its base plate. It should not be necessary to anchor it to the
floor with bolts and screws; also vibrations to and from the pump are greatly reduced by
the use of rubber feet.
• Pump off the ground. In this case, the user must design a suitable support structure,
remembering the following points:
the plane supporting the pump must be perfectly horizontal;
the structure should be rigid;
apply the safety precautions in force.
Note also that the pump should be attached to the supporting structure after replacing
the rubber feet with special anti-vibration feet, which should be screwed to the pump
base and to the supporting plane.
After taking the pump out of its packing case, you are advised to make the following
checks:
a. Ensure that the pump has not suffered any damage during shipping.
b. Check that the guards are mounted correctly (side plates, refs. 11 and 81 in fig. 2-1)
and that there are no uncovered or loose parts.
c. Examine the power cord carefully and check that the insulation has not been damaged.
