6.6 Outdoor installation
If you install the motor outdoors, provide the motor

When fitting a cover to the motor, observe
the guideline in section
cooling.
The cover must be sufficiently large to ensure that
the motor is not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or
snow. Grundfos does not supply covers. We
therefore recommend that you have a cover built for
the specific application. In areas with high humidity,
we recommend that you connect the motor
permanently to the mains supply and activate the
built-in standstill heating function.
