Installation
5.1
Unpacking
Unpack all parts carefully, retaining the packaging until you are sure all components are present and
in good order. Check against the components supplied list, below.
Packaging disposal
Dispose of packaging materials safely, and in accordance with regulations in your area. The outer
carton is made of corrugated cardboard and can be recycled.
5.2
Inspection
Check that all components are present. Inspect components for damage in transit. If anything is
missing or damaged, contact your distributor immediately.
Report any damage immediately to your Bredel representative.
5.3
Installation conditions
Ambient conditions
Make sure that the hose pump is in an area where the ambient temperature during operation is not
lower than -20 °C and not higher than +45 °C.
The minimum start-up temperature for the gearbox is -10 °C. A heater is required for temperatures
below -10 °C.
Set-up
It is recommended that the pump is sited on a flat, horizontal, rigid surface, free from excessive
vibration, to ensure the correct lubrication of the gearbox and correct pumphead operation. Allow a
free flow of air around the pump to ensure that heat can be dissipated. Ensure that the ambient
temperature around the pump does not exceed the recommended maximum operating temperature.
The pump materials and protective layers are suitable for indoor set-up and a protected outdoor set-
up. Under certain conditions the pump is suitable for limited outdoor setup or a salty or aggressive
atmosphere. Contact your Bredel representative for advice.
Ensure sufficient room around the pump to carry out the necessary maintenance.
Make sure that the room is sufficiently ventilated, so that the heat developed by the pump and drive
can be discharged. Keep some distance between the ventilation cover of the electric motor and wall
to enable the supply of necessary cooling air.
