bracket or motor mount and fastened with bolts.
For assembly on a foundation, the centrifugal pump must be aligned with a spirit level.

underneath (see installation diagram).

Other external accessories such as air chambers, etc., that are not
premounted on the pump in the factory should not be connected until after the
pump is installed in the system or on the pump foundation.
Explosion protection / safety instructions
Electrical equipment that will be operated in areas subject to the risk of
explosion must meet explosion protection requirements. These are identified
by the factory plate on the motor. For installation in areas subject to the danger
of explosion, applicable local regulations for explosion protection and
requirements of the test certificate included with delivery, which was issued by
the office responsible for testing, must be observed. The test certificate
included with delivery must be kept in a safe place at the installation location
(for example in the supervisor's office, etc.).
