2.4 Installation
The following points need to be considered while installing the pump in the system:
1. All pump frames are delivered with height adjustable feet to accommodate sloped floors for drainage.
The pump should be level so the pump operates even with a low oil level and still reach all bearings.
To level the pump, adjust the height-adjustable feet individually (see red arrows) until the pump is
level.
2. No excess forces should be exerted on the pump from piping systems, platforms etc.
3. Ensure good access to the oil sight glass at the gear housing for regular inspection from operators
and maintenance personnel.
4. Ensure good access to the bolts (Pos. 1016) to easily remove the Pump Housing with a extended
torque wrench for sanitary inspection.
5. Ensure that the whole pump can be easily accessed for preventive pump maintenance at the Pump
Housing and the Gear Housing for oil change. If this can not be arranged, ensure that the pump can
be easily removed from the operating location with a palette jack, forklift or rollers, into a location
that allows accessing all parts of the pump.
6. Connect the Seal Water if the pump is equipped with a double seal that requires seal water. It is
recommended that the seal water automatically starts and stops with the pump to save water.
7. Ensure that the electric wiring can easily be disconnected for maintenance and is not a safety hazard
or dirt trap.
