Installing the pump
The pumps can be operated in any mounting position. However, the manufacturer recommends that the
pump not be mounted above the motor since pumped liquid can ingress the motor if a leak occurs.
Requirement:
□
The pump connections are to be protected against soiling, for example by using the protective cover
mounted in the factory
1. Place the pump in position, while ensuring that the flow direction that is marked by arrows on the
pump housing is correct.
2. Fasten the pump with fastening elements securely on the underground.
Protecting the pump against soiling
► After the connecting work clean the pipe system thoroughly, see "Cleaning the pipe system",
Observe the following instructions:
□
When selecting the location take the operating limits, NPSH values and ambient conditions
into account, see "Technical data", page 7.
□
The function, safety and service life may not be impaired by humidity, temperature influences
or explosive atmospheres.
□
During the installation ensure that the pump is secured against tilting.
□
During the installation ensure that all the parts can be accessed easily and that the main-
tenance work can be carried out easily.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage to equipment should the pump fall over.
► Observe the centre of gravity of the pump and if necessary secure the pump against falling over.
CAUTION
