5.1 Preparing the setup
5.1.1 Checking the ambient conditions
Make sure the required ambient conditions are fulfilled
(→ 9.2.1 Ambient conditions, Page 31).
5.1.2 Preparing the installat ion site

5.1.4 R emoving the preservative
If the pump is to be put into operation immediately after
setup an d connection: Remove the pres ervative prior to
setup (→ 4.4 Removing the preservative, Page 13).
5.1.5 Installing the heat insulation (optional)
Only necessary to maintain the temperature of the pumped
liquid.
NOTE

heating!
Only install the heat insulation on the pump cas ing
(→ Figure Layout, Page 10).
Install the heat insulation properly.
5.2 Setup
If installing horizontally with lateral connections, the filling
and bleeding holes and the mano meter conne ctions must
face upward.
Setup options
• With wall-moun ted/foot-mounted moto r bracket
– horizontal, connections on top or sides
– vertical, motor at top
