1. Undo the ties holding the cable guard. Remove the cable guard.
2. Fasten the pedestals to the pump set. Place the pump set on the foundation
with the pedestals and level it.
3. Mark and drill the holes for the foundation bolts on the foundation. Fasten the
pump set to the foundation via the pedestals.
4. Run the power cable through the foot of the pump pedestal. Fasten the power
cable to the pump and to the lift check valve / connection branch with cable
ties.
5. Securely fasten all electric cables to prevent them from fluttering in the water
flow. Use a cable conduit if necessary.
6. Install the piping.
NOTE
Fit an expansion joint between the piping and the pump set to prevent any piping
forces and piping vibrations from affecting the pump set.
7. Fasten all electric cables to the riser with cable ties.
NOTE
Fasten all electric cables to the piping every three metres as well as upstream and
downstream of any pipe bends by means of suitable fasteners, e.g. cable ties.
This prevents any fluttering of the electric cables in the water flow. Use a cable
conduit if necessary.
