commissioning, in the sequence shown in Fig. 9 .
1.
Check the tightening torque of the screws 1 ... 8 prior to com‐
missioning. Tighten all screws to 5 Nm, in the sequence
shown in Fig. 9.
2.
We also recommend checking these threaded connectors for
correct torque at least once a year because the pump mate‐
rial yields (creeps) and the tightening torque is then reduced.
