4- INSTALLATION NORMS
The Bertolini pumps, concerning security, comply with the rule UNI EN 809 and are des-
tined to be coupled, directly or through a countershaft, with an electric motor, hydraulic mo-
tor or gasoline engine.
The machine or the system where the pump is located must be perfectly built
observing the current safety rules in the country where the machine is in-
stalled.
For Europe this is guaranteed by the CE mark and by the declaration of com-
pliance of the machine manufacturer.
A correct installation is the decisive factor for a good operation and for a long
life of the pump. The 90% of problems and malfunctions come from:
 Inadequate coupling between pump and engine/motor;
 Inadequate sizes of the inlet circuit;
 Inadequate quality or incorrect calibration of the pressure relief valve or unloader
valve.
Idromeccanica Bertolini declines all responsibility if the following regulations are not
complied with:
4.1 PUMP ENGINE COUPLING
The system manufacturer will undertake to choose the correct sizes of the driving
gear, considering also the risks towards people the chosen system can cause.
In case of connection with electric motors, all the regulations indicated by the rules EN
60204.1 against electric risks must be followed.
In particular all the moving parts must be properly protected, in compliance with the
machines directive 2006/42/CE or the country current rules, in order to prevent their ac-
cidental contact with body parts.
If the pump shaft has a double P.T.O., the one that is not used must be protected with a
proper shield.
In case of damage or breaking of the shaft protection or of the shaft, immediately stop
the system and contact a qualified technician.
When using, do not lean hands or feet on the shaft protection.
 In order to assure a correct lubrication of all the moving parts, the pump must operate
keeping the plungers axle in horizontal position.
 The pump-engine/motor unit must be properly fixed on a sufficiently large and strong
base.
 All the electric wiring must be carried out by qualified technicians.
 In case of direct drive with the engine/motor make sure that:
- The engine/motor shaft is on the same axle as the pump shaft.
- The key is as long as prescribed.
- The coupling has the proper size.
