Assembly and installation Safety precautions for setup, installation, and connection Assembly and installation Safety precautions for setup, installation, and connection Warning! Tipping (tilting) of the pump! ► The surface for setting up the pump should be clean, level and have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Assembly and installation Special personnel qualification Warning! Overheating! ► Ensure adequate ventilation. ► Avoid sucking in the heated exhaust air also of adjacent units. ► Maintain minimum distances. Caution! Vibration! ► Ensure stable construction for mounting of the pump and piping. Insufficiently stiffened substructures may cause an overall structure capable of oscillating, which is excited to oscillate by hydraulic and/or motor forces during changing operating conditions in the system.
Assembly and installation Setup, installation, and connection 6.3.1 Checking smooth running of the impeller Before installation, check that the impeller is running smoothly. Perform the following steps: Remove the motor shroud (only for SUPER version). Remove the motor fan cover. Note the pump’s direction of rotation (arrow).

Commissioning Special personnel qualification Commissioning Special personnel qualification The commissioning personnel must be suitably qualified for this work. See also Section 2.6, Page 12. Safety instructions for commissioning Caution! Hazard due to overheating and pressure overload! ► Never pump for longer than 30 seconds against a closed shut-off device. Pumping against a closed shut-off device leads to rapid warming of the pumped fluid and pressure increase.
Commissioning Slowly open the pressure side stop valve. → This completes the commissioning. If there is no increase of delivery head after commissioning: Switch off the pump. Again vent the pump (system). Repeat steps 7 to 10, and follow . 7.3.3 Functional testing of the mechanical seal Perform the following steps:...
Cleaning Special personnel qualification Cleaning To ensure the quality of sensitive fluids, pumps must be cleaned immediately after each use. Only in this way will adhesions and deposits be removed completely and contamination of the products be prevented. To achieve the best possible results, Hilge pumps are optimised with regard to gap and dead spaces, designed according to DIN EN 13951, and resistant to the cleaning agents referred to in the following chapter.
Cleaning Cleaning and disinfecting agents [°C] (°F) [mg/l] NaOH 2.5% 13-14 85 (185) 60 (140) 0.0075% 90 (194) 0.15% 20 (68) 50 mg/l act. Iodophore 30 (86) >3 Iodine Cleaning agents that contain hydrochloric acid (HCl) or hydrofluoric acid (HF) must not be used.

Cleaning – Regular manual external cleaning of the pump unit facilitates proper operation. – Always check the impermeability of the motor (terminal box, condensation water holes) before each cleaning. – Clean the outside of the pump with a soft cloth or brush and use warm water if necessary.
Inspections The pump is maintenance-free for the most part. In order to prevent possible malfunctions, GEA recommends that regular visual inspections be carried out. Special attention should be paid to the leak tightness and the correct functioning of the pump.
