TYPES OF INSTALLATION

14.1. SUBMERSED INSTALLATION WITH AUTOMATIC CONNECTION
ASSEMBLY
Fix the anchoring bracket in an easily accessible position, firmly secured to the upper part of
the tank wall, or to the edge of the trap opening.
If the riser pipes in series KT alone are not longer than 1.5 m, they can be mounted projecting
over the base without the upper fixing bracket.
GB
Place the base for automatic coupling on the bearing surface so that the housings of the two
guiding pipes in the upper part of the base itself, are perfectly "plumb" in relation to the fixing
bracket projections. (See size and measurements in the "OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND
WEIGHTS" paragraph of this manual).
Mark the position of the four slots at the feet of the base and cut the guide pipes to measure.
Securely fix the base to the bearing surface using 12÷20 mm diameter steel fixing shanks at
least 120÷200 mm in length or equally efficient expansion plugs.
Fix the delivery pipe to the base opening. Demount the anchoring bracket.
Fit (or screw in for series KT pumps) the two guiding pipes into their relative housings in the
base and lock them on to the upper end by remounting the fixing bracket.
For series KT pumps, tighten the automatic coupling base to the delivery pipe in the
tank. Support the base with a cross-piece fixed to its feet or by means of the guide pipes
anchored to a bearing bracket. Mount the elbow with connection, the delivery pipe and the
flanged elbow to the electric pump.
Connect the chain to the shackle at the top of the motor (hole opposite the driving port). Lift
the electric pump, guide it above the pit and lower it slowly, by allowing the bracket to run
between the two guiding pipes.
For series KT pumps with an automatic coupling that is not immersed in the fluid, fit the steel
rope to the elbow with coupling along with the chain, positioning this latter in the slot which,
by lifting the assembly, will cause it to tilt at least 4 or 5°.
Lower and slowly guide the assembly into the tank, connecting the unit to the automatic
coupling base.
CORRECT SETUP
To ensure the pump can easily slide along the guide pipes and that it correctly connects/
releases from the base during automatic coupling, the chain hook should always be kept in
area "A" during the lowering phase and in area "B" during the lifting phase, as indicated in the
figure to the right. At the end of its descent travel, the pump will automatically connect to the
base opening. The upper chain shackle must be fixed to the hole on the anchoring bracket.

14.2. SUBMERSED INSTALLATION WITH HOSE PIPE
ASSEMBLY AND SETTING AT WORK
Assemble the flanged hose-holder elbow on to the driving port so as to house the hose pipe and turn the
lifting handle.
The electric pumps must be positioned or fixed to a flat and compact base.
The chain used for lowering the electric pump into the pit must be fixed to the edge of the trap.
