the use of an overhead crane or hoist sufficiently
strong to lift the unit.

Install the pump as close as possible to the supply of
pumped liquid, so that the inlet pipe is as short and
direct as possible.

3.2.2 Foundation
We recommend that you install the pump on a
concrete foundation, which is heavy enough to
provide permanent and rigid support for the entire
pump. The foundation must be capable of absorbing
any vibration, normal strain or shock. We
recommend that the weight of the concrete
foundation is 3 times the weight of the complete
pump unit. For specific requirements, consult the
contractor, engineer, or established industry
standards.
In installations where silent operation is particularly
important, we recommend a foundation that is up to
5 times as heavy as the complete pump unit.
