Securing the
EPX
pump
WARNING
Heavy objects
can cause
muscle
strain
or back injury. Use
suitable
lifting equipment to move
the
pump. Refer to
Section 2
for
the
pump mass.
WARNING
For safety reasons, ensure that any frame mounted to the pump is securely fixed to the building
structure or
the assembly
complies with clause
7.3
(stability)
of EN61010-1. Secure the EPX pump
in its
operating location. If
not
and the
pump
fails during operation, movement
of
the pump may
damage equipment and
injure
people.
WARNING
In operation the surfaces on the
top
half
of the
pump
can
exceed 65
•c;
in certain
fault
conditions
these surfaces can exceed 105
• C.
If the pump
is to
be
installed
in a location where
the surfaces
of
the pump could be touched easily
then
the pump should be
installed with
adequate guarding.
1. Use suitable lifting
equipment attached to
the lifting bolts
(Figure 2,
item 2)
to
move the
EPX
pump into its
required operating position. When
installed,
the
EPX
pump must be level: refer to
Section 2.1
,
2. Fit a suitable M8
bolt,
nut
and
washer through the
exposed
fixing hole in
each
of the vibration isolators (4 bolts
in
total)
(Figure 2,
item
7),
to secure
the EPX
pump to the
floor,
or to a
frame;
the floor or the frame must be
able to
withstand a reaction torque of
at
least 1000 Nm (738 lbf
ft),
applied rotationally about the vertical axis
of
the
pump for at least 10 ms.
Note:
The weight of
the
pump is
evenly
distributed across
each
of the vibration isolators. The position of the
