3.5 Locate the pump
CAUTION
Locate the pump so that it is on a firm, level surface (less than 5
o
inclination). If you do
not, seals in the pump may wear quickly and the performance of the pump will deteriorate.
CAUTION
Do not operate the pump in direct sunlight. If you do, the pump may overheat and fail.
Ensure that the pump is not installed in an enclosed area. The ESDP12 pump requires a
cooling-air flow rate of 4 m
3
min
-1
; the ESDP30 pump requires a cooling-air flow rate of
5 m
3
min
-1
. The cooling-fans will provide this flow rate if the pump is not installed in a restricted
space.
To locate the ESDP12 pump:
• Refer to Figure 1.
• Use the lifting-handle (4) to lift the pump and move it into its final operating position. The
pump can be free-standing or you can use fixing-bolts through the mounting-holes (9) in the
base-plate of the pump to secure the pump to the floor.
To locate the ESDP30 pump:
• Refer to Figure 2.
• Attach suitable lifting gear to the lifting-eye (4) on the pump and move the pump to its final
operating position. The pump can be free-standing or you can use fixing-bolts through the
mounting-holes (14) in the base-plate of the pump to secure the pump to the floor.
If you want, you can fit vibration isolators below the base-plate. Suitable vibration isolators are
available as optional accessories (see Section 7).
