Functional description Functional description Brief functional description The package contents supplied with the DULCO flex DFDa is ® selectable via the identcode. The DULCO flex DFDa is a displacement pump. The feed chem‐ ® ical is transported by the rotor squeezing the hose in the direction of flow.
Functional description 3.2 Construction Main modules: Drive Unit Housing Base frame The pump housing is closed off with a screwed front cover in order to avoid the risk of injury. The motor serves to drive the rotor. Two shoes at the ends of the rotor serve to press the pump hose against the pump housing.

Carry out assembly work before commencing the electrical installation. Observe the permissible ambient conditions. 4.3.1 Ambient conditions NOTICE! Ambient conditions Possible consequence: Property damage and increased wear and tear Assembly is to be carried out in the following order.
Transport, storage, assembly and Installation 4.3.2 Alignment of the suction side The pump is to be positioned as near as possible to the liquid con‐ tainer, so that the suction side is kept as short and straight as pos‐ sible. The suction line must be absolutely airtight and made of a suitable material, so that it is not squeezed together under vacuum.
