with a leakage spray at the gap between the pump housing and the
lantern as well as their screwed connections.
• In the event of continual leakage, use a new O-ring, if need be.
CAUTION! Risk of injury!
Incorrect handling can result in property damage.
• If the transport eyes are moved from the motor flange to the motor
housing, e.g. to replace the motor impeller unit, then these have to
be reattached to the motor flange after completion of the installa-
tion work (also see chapter 3.2 "Transport for installation/disman-
tling purposes" on page 71). In addition, the spacers are also to be
screwed back into the openings (Fig. 7, Item 20b).
CAUTION! Risk of property damage!
Incorrect handling can result in property damage.
• When turning the components, make sure that the pressure meas-
uring lines are not bent or kinked.
• When reinstalling the differential pressure sensor, bend the pressure
measuring lines evenly and as little as possible to put them into the
required position or into a suitable position. When doing this, do not
deform the areas at the clamp boltings.
• For optimal positioning of the pressure measuring lines, the differen-
tial pressure sensor can be separated from the holder (Fig. 7, Item 6),
rotated by 180° around the longitudinal axis and reinstalled.
NOTE:
When turning the differential pressure sensor, make sure not to mix
up the pressure and suction sides on the differential pressure sensor.
For additional information about the differential pressure sensor, see
chapter 7.3 "Electrical connection" on page 90.
• The pump should only be installed after completion of all welding and
soldering work and, if necessary, flushing of the pipe system. Dirt can
cause the pump to fail.
• The pumps must be protected from the weather and installed in a
frost/dust-free, well-ventilated environment which is not potentially
explosive. The pump must not be installed outdoors.
• Install the pump in a place that is easy to access so that subsequent
inspections, maintenance (e.g. mechanical seal) or replacement is
easily possible. The air access to the heat sink of the electronic mod-
ule must not be restricted.
• A hook or eyelet with the corresponding bearing capacity is to be
installed vertically above the pump (for the total weight of the pump:
see catalogue/data sheet), to which hoisting gear or similar aids can be
attached when conducting maintenance or repair work on the pump.
DANGER! Risk of fatal injury!
The pump itself and pump parts can be extremely heavy. Falling
parts pose a risk of cuts, crush injuries, bruises or impacts, which
may lead to death.
• Always use suitable lifting equipment and secure parts against
falling.
• Never stand underneath a suspended load.
CAUTION! Risk of property damage!
Danger of damage due to incorrect handling.
• If the transport eyes have been moved from the motor flange and
installed at the motor housing, then they are only approved for
carrying or transporting the motor impeller unit (Fig. 25) and not
for transport of the whole pump and not for separation of the
