5.2 Positional requirements
Depending on motor type, the pump can be installed either
vertically or horizontally. A complete list of motor types suitable
for horizontal installation is shown in section
If the pump is installed horizontally, the outlet port must never fall
below the horizontal plane. See fig.
.
Fig. 6
Positional requirements
If the pump is installed horizontally, e.g. in a tank, we recommend
that you fit it in a flow sleeve.
5.2.1 Motors suitable for horizontal installation
5.3 Pump/motor diameter
We recommend that you check the borehole with an inside
calliper to ensure unobstructed passage.
Do not use motor liquid that contains oil.
Before fitting the motor to a pump after a long period
of storage, lubricate the shaft seal by adding a few
drops of water and turning the shaft.

contact with the pump and the installation, e.g. by
installing a guard.
During operation, the suction interconnector of the
pump must always be completely submerged in the
liquid. Make sure that the NPSH values are fulfilled.
