4.2. Lifting the pump

For pumps that cannot be lifted by hand, a sling
is tied around the pump during the packaging in
our dispatching department. This sling can be
used to lift the pump out of the packaging. Pumps
without shrouds can also be lifted on the eyebolt
of the motor. If the pump casing is provided with
a lifting eye, the pump must be lifted on both the
lifting eye of the motor and the pump casing. It is
best to put the pump onto a trolley after lifting it
out of the packaging to take it to the place where
the pump must be installed.
When the sling has been removed, the pump
may only be lifted on the eyebolt of the motor.

4.3. Location of the pump

The pump should be located in your installa-
tion so that it is easily accessible for mainte-
nance. You should make sure that the pump is
surrounded by a maximum of dry space and
the motor can circulate enough cooling air. At
the back of the motor or motor shroud, there
must be at least 10 cm free area. The maximum
ambient temperature is 40°C. The pump may
not be installed at altitudes more than 1000 Mt
above sea level. Standard pumps should not be

same as on your order. Check voltage, frequency
and power on the nameplate of the motor.
If the pump casing is provided with a lifting eye,
the pump must be lifted on both the lifting eye of
the motor and the pump casing. For pumps with
a shroud, remove the shroud and replace after
connecting the motor according to the procedure
described in 4.4. Never put back a removed sling
yourself! The sling can only be used once, after
which it should be destroyed.
Never go underneath a suspended
pump or a pump being lifted.
Put down the pump carefully in order
not to damage the internal parts.

As an option, the pump can be supplied accord-

Install the pump directly onto a level fl oor or
on the frame of the installation. If the fl oor is
not level, this can be corrected by adjusting the
adjustable feet or by using blotting-pads.
