Installation and electrical connection
▪ Do not store the pump in rooms in which welding work is carried out. The resulting
gases or radiation can corrode the elastomer parts and coatings.
▪ Seal the suction and pressure connection tightly.
▪ Protect power supply cables against kinking and damage.
▪ Protect the pump from direct sunlight and heat. Extreme heat can cause damage to the
impellers and the coating!
▪ Impellers must be turned by 180 ° at regular intervals (3 – 6 months). This prevents
locking of the bearings and renews the lubrication film of the mechanical seal. WARN-
ING! There is a risk of injury due to sharp edges on the impeller and suction port!
▪ Elastomer parts and the coating are subject to natural brittleness. Contact customer
service if the pump must be stored for more than 6 months.
After storage, remove any dust and oil from the pump and check the coating for dam-
age. Repair damaged coatings before further use.
▪ Electrical work: A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical work.
▪ Installation/dismantling: The technician must be trained in the use of the necessary
tools and fixation materials for the relevant construction site.
▪ Vertical stationary wet well installation with suspension unit
▪ Vertical portable wet well installation with pump support foot
▪ Vertical stationary dry well installation
The following installation types are not permitted:
▪ Horizontal installation
▪ Observe locally applicable accident prevention and safety regulations of trade associ-
ations.
▪ Observe all regulations for working with heavy loads and under suspended loads.
▪ Provide protective equipment and ensure that the protective equipment is worn by
personnel.
▪ Observe local sewage technology regulations for the operation of sewage systems.
▪ Avoid pressure surges!
Pressure surges can occur in long pressure pipes with steep terrain. These pressure
surges can lead to the destruction of the pump!
▪ Ensure the cooling time of the motor depending on the operating conditions and the
size of the pump chamber.
▪ Structural components and foundations must be of sufficient stability in order to allow
the device to be fixed securely and functionally. The operator is responsible for the pro-
vision and suitability of the structural component/foundation!
▪ Check that the available consulting documents (installation plans, design of the operat-
ing space, inflow conditions) are complete and correct.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to dangerous lone working practices!
Work in chambers and narrow rooms as well as work involving risk of falling are dan-
gerous work. Such work may not be carried out autonomously! A second person
must be present for safety reasons.
WARNING
Hand and foot injuries due to lack of protective equipment!
Danger of (serious) injuries during work. Wear the following protective equipment:
• Safety gloves for protection against cuts
• Safety shoes
• Safety helmet must be worn if lifting equipment are used!
