6.3 Setup and attachment
)
See Figure 14
The product should be protected from humidity and vibration, and
should be mounted so that it is easily accessible, allowing all further
installation work to be done without difficulty.
Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation to prevent excessive
heating.
For the maximum permissible ambient temperature, see the Chap-
ter 4, “Technical data.”
The mounting position of the product is as shown in the assembly
drawing.
Gerotor pump units in design IM B34 (foot design) are installed
horizontally.
Gerotor pump units in design IM B14 (flange design) can be in-
stalled both horizontally and vertically.
Depending on the model, they can be mounted separately from the
lubricant reservoir or flanged to a lubricant reservoir.
When set up separately, the suction port of the pump may be con-
nected to a lubricant reservoir that is situated higher
(max. 2000 mm).
To flange the gerotor pump unit to a lubricant reservoir horizontally
below the oil level, use a sealed pump in a special design. Consult
SKF's Service department.

6.2 Minimum mounting dimensions
To ensure enough space for maintenance work and for any disas-
sembly of the product, ensure that the minimum mounting dimen-
sions (Figs. 15 and 16) are maintained.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Observe the technical data (Chapter 4).
CAUTION
Slipping hazard
Centralized lubrication systems must always be free of
leaks. Leaking lubricant is hazardous due to the risk of
slipping and injury.
Beware of any lubricant leaking out during assembly, op-
eration, maintenance, or repair of centralized lubrication
systems. Leaks must be sealed off without delay.
