5.2 Outdoor use
The pump or pump unit may only be placed outdoors if the construction of the pump or pump unit
allows this.
In addition to the general instructions, the following additional requirements must be met:
– The pump unit must be designed for outdoor use. Pay attention to the protection class of the pump
unit.
– Make sure there is sufficient free space around the cooling air inlet so the engine is able to draw as
much cooling air as it needs.
– Make sure there is sufficient free space around the hot air outlet. Maintain at least 2 m (6.6 ft) of
clearance.
– Avoid dusty conditions and locations where corrosion or erosion can occur.
– In the case of electric drive: do not exceed the ratings of the electric motor in terms of insulation class
and protection class.
– In the case of an electric motor not supplied by BBA Pumps, follow the guidelines provided with the
motor.
5.3 Indoor use
In addition to the general instructions, the following additional requirements must be met:
– Make sure the area has adequate ventilation.
– Make sure there is sufficient free space around the cooling air inlet so the motor is able to draw as
much cooling air as it needs.
– Prevent high ambient temperature and humidity.
– Avoid dusty conditions and locations where corrosion or erosion can occur.
– In the case of electric drive: do not exceed the ratings of the electric motor in terms of insulation class
and protection class.
– In the case of a motor not supplied by BBA Pumps, follow the guidelines provided with the motor.
5.4 Placement in an area with a potentially flammable or
explosive atmosphere
The standard pump unit is not suitable for placement in a potentially flammable or explosive
atmosphere. In some cases, after consultation with BBA Pumps and implementation of the prescribed
measures, written approval may be provided by BBA Pumps for use of the pump or pump unit in the
specified situation.
DANGER
Failure to follow the guidelines for use of the pump unit in a potentially flammable or
