Always tighten the bolts in a crosswise sequence and
double check to make sure correct torque is reached.
The pump must be installed on the pedestal that is part of
the pump body. If the pump is equipped with transport
supports on delivery, the supports must not be removed until
the pump has been secured on the installation foundation as
instructed.
LPP-T pumps are delivered fully assembled and ready for use,
and they are equipped with a drive unit (with the exception of
so-called pump head deliveries that are ordered without the
drive unit).
The following come as part of the installation for all pumps
delivered to the customer by Valmet Flow Control Oy:
• hose, suitable for the purpose with LPP-T lubricant
• correct compression torque for the hose
4.2 Pump installation
It is recommendable to store the pump in its transport
container until installation. See Chapter 3: ‘Transportation,
storage and lifting.’
Sufficient space must be left around the pump for
maintenance work.
Note that the front cover is hinged and requires opening
space.
