II. Check if any of the motor feet are lifted up? Using shim(s) under some of the motor
feet are required in the position where it is lifted up for avoiding deformation/twisting
of the pump’s motor bracket. Then tighten the 4 screws retaining the motor feet.
III. Open coupling guard to check the pump shaft can be rotated freely by hand.
Be careful when fitting the suction line to the pump so that it is absolutely tight, as even
small leakages may impede the priming. When pumping polluted liquids a strainer is
necessary. The strainer must be equipped with a sieve, the passage area of which is to be
3 x the area of the suction pipe. The mesh size is to be 1-3 mm smaller than the impeller
gap of the pump in question.
The max. permissible loads on the flanges stated in paragraph 2.3 are to be observed.
At installations pumping hot or very cold liquids, the operator must be aware
that it is dangerous to touch the pump surface, and, consequently, he must take
the necessary safety measures.
When connecting the pump and a prime mover the power transmission is to be
equipped with a guard in accordance with the provisions of the COUNCIL
DIRECTIVE of June 14, 1989, on the safety of machines.
