4.1 Pre-installation

Precautions
WARNING:
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, ensure that the motor is properly
certified.
• All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpected dis-
charge. Discharge can cause equipment damage, electric shock, and result in serious in-
jury. Test the ground lead to verify it is connected correctly.
NOTICE:
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all inter-
national, national, state and local regulations.
• Supervision by an authorized ITT representative is recommended to ensure proper instal-
lation. Improper installation may result in equipment damage or decreased performance.

4.1.1 Pump location guidelines

WARNING:
Safe lifting points are specifically identified in this manual. It is critical to lift the equipment only
at these points. Integral lifting eyes or eye bolts on pump and motor components are intended
for use in lifting the individual components only.
WARNING:
Assembled units and their components are heavy. Failure to properly lift and support this
equipment can result in serious physical injury and/or equipment damage. Lift equipment only
at the specifically identified lifting points. Lifting devices such as swivel hoist rings, shackles,
slings and spreaders must be rated, selected, and used for the entire load being lifted.

4.1.2 Foundation requirements

Requirements
• The location and size of the foundation bolt holes must match those shown on the assembly draw-
ing provided with the pump data package.
• The foundation must weigh between two and three times the weight of the pump.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion when you
tighten the foundation bolts.
• Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow movement
for the final bolt adjustment.
• The concrete foundation must have sufficient firmness according to DIN 1045 or equal standard.
