WARNING
–
The eccentric shaft rotates in a housing. There is a risk of crushing in the space in
between. Disconnect the power supply to the pump.
Install the pump in this way:
•
Securely and stably on a non-slip surface able to bear the weight of the pump.
•
Outside a humid or aggressive atmosphere (e.g. in air containing steam, salt or acid) to avoid corrosion
on the motor and the control panel.
4.1
Transport and storage
The pump is generally shipped ready to use and packed.
►
Leave the pump in the packaging until it is used.
►
Protect the pump against the wet, cold, soiling, UV radiation and mechanical influences.
o
Uniformly ventilated room free from dust and vibrations
o
Ambient temperature between 10°C and 55°C at a relative humidity below 65%
o
No exposure to heat (sun, heaters)

4.2
Space requirement
Leave enough room around the pump for operation and maintenance. Observe the space required for
assembly and disassembly of the pump chamber (see chapter 6.5 Replacing on page 32).
Leave enough room for bleeding the pump.
Position the control panel in a place where it can be easily reached. Protect the control panel from damp
(splashing or jets of water) and heat.
4.3
Installation
The pump is mounted on a stainless steel base plate. If the pump is not to be operated on this base plate
but, for example, in a rack, make sure that the drive unit and feeder unit are aligned correctly.
