Avoid to impact onto the package materials that could damage the pump.
If the weight exceeds 25 Kg the package must be handled by two person at the same time.
Raise the pump-motor unit slowly, making sure it does not move from side to side in an uncontrolled way, to
avoid the risk of imbalance and tipping up.

Installation Dimensions

For the dimensions of the device (see technical catalogue).
Ambient requirements and installation site dimensions
The customer has to prepare the installation site in order to guarantee the right installation and in order to fulfil
the device requirements (electrical supply, etc.).
The place where the device will be installed must fulfil the requirements.
It's absolutely forbidden to install the machine in an environment with potentially explosive atmosphere.

Unpacking

Inspect the device in order to check any damages which may have occurred during transportation.
Package material, once removed, must be discarded/recycled according to local laws of the destination
country.

Installation

The pumps must be installed with the rotor axis in the horizontal position and with the feet under the pump.
Place the pump as close as possible to the suction source.
Provide space around the pump for motor ventilation, to allow for checking of shaft rotation, for filling and
draining the pump and to allow for collection of the liquid to be removed (especially for draining liquids which
are harmful or have to be removed at temperatures higher than 60°C).

Pipes

Ensure the insides of pipes are clean and unobstructed before connection.
ATTENTION: The pipes connected to the pump should be secured to rest clamps so that they do not
transmit stress, strain or vibrations to the pump.
Tighten the pipes or union coupling to the extent sufficient to ensure a tight seal.
Excessive torque may cause damage to the pump.
When the pipe or union coupling is mounted, keep the pump casing connection blocked with a second
wrench, making sure the connection is not deformed by excessive tightening.
The pipe diameters must not be smaller than the pump connections.
