etting the pump in position should be performed as follows:
Pump laid on the ground. There are no special instructions for
this type of installation, except that the floor should be as flat as
possible and suited to bear the weight of the pump (it should
ideally be a concrete floor) and of any accessories mounted on it.
Note that the pump is stable on its base plate and it should not be
necessary to anchor it to the floor with bolts and screws; also
vibrations to and from the pump are greatly reduced by the use
of rubber feet.
Pump off the ground. In this case, the user must design a suitable
support structure, remembering the following points:
the plane supporting the pump must be perfectly horizontal;
the structure should be adequately rigid;
the relevant safety precautions should be applied.
Note also that the pump should be attached to the supporting
structure after replacing the rubber feet with special anti-vibration
feet, which should be screwed to the pump base and to the
supporting plane.
After taking the pump out of its packing case, you are advised to
make the following checks:
a Ensure that the pump has not suffered any damage during
shipping.
b Check that there are no uncovered or loose parts.
