WARNING
•
Pumps should always be installed in dry and clean locations. If the place of installation is humid, wet or with particles in
suspension, the appropriate motor should be selected for these conditions.
•
When installing the pumping equipment, it should be protected from solar radiation, since this has a direct and negative
impact on the operation and useful life of the equipment, since it significantly increases the temperature and accelerates
the aging of paints and external surface finishes. Therefore, for equipment that is not installed in pump rooms or
similar, the installation of awnings or protective roofs should be considered.
•
Sufficient space should always be left for disassembly and maintenance of the pump unit. In normal installations,
pumps should be located close to the source of supply of the fluid to be pumped.
•
Install the equipment well leveled and if possible on a solid concrete base with anchor bolts, to avoid vibrations and
displacements.
•
The design of piping systems, anchorages and other areas of the installation is not the responsibility of VOGT S.A.
•
VOGT S.A. only offers the data and comments as an aid, but cannot assume responsibility for the design, assembly and
operation of an installation. It is recommended that the client consult a specialist in the design of foundations, piping,
wells, etc. to complement and interpret the information provided by VOGT S.A. and to ensure correct operation.
5.3
Mounting Positions
The NM series pumps can be mounted as shown in Figure 5, i.e. horizontal, vertical with the motor on top and inclined with the
motor on top of the pump. They should never be mounted vertical with the motor down or inclined with the motor down.
THE PUMP AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE HEAVY. IMPROPER HANDLING DURING HANDLING AND HOISTING
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
5.1
Checking the Pump on Arrival
Check upon arrival that the pump and accessories have not been damaged or lost in transit. If so, immediately report the
damaged or missing parts to VOGT S.A., to the authorized distributor or to the company that carried out the transport.
VOGT S.A. provides its Monoblock series pumping equipment, whose bases are designed to be placed on the foundation and
anchored with bolts, as indicated later in this manual. The possibility of grouting the carbon steel bases to the foundation is
at the customer's discretion.
5.2
General Rules for Locating Pumps
If the pump is to be used mounted, vertical or inclined, it must be ensured that it was specifically ordered for that application,
as it must have a vent valve to remove air from inside the pump.
