3.1.3 Free-standing submerged installation on
ring stand
Pumps for free-standing submerged installation can
stand freely on the bottom of the pit. The pump must
be installed on a ring stand. See fig. 2.
The ring stand is available as an accessory.
In order to facilitate service on the pump, fit a flexible
union or coupling to the elbow on the outlet for easy
separation.
If a hose is used, make sure that the hose does not
buckle and that the inside diameter of the hose
matches that of the pump outlet port.
If a rigid pipe is used, fit the union or coupling, non-
return valve and isolating valve in the order
mentioned, when viewed from the pump.
If the pump is installed in muddy conditions or on
uneven ground, support the pump on bricks or a
similar support.

Proceed as follows:
1. Fit a 90 ° elbow to the pump outlet and connect
the outlet pipe or hose.
2. Lower the pump into the liquid by means of a
chain secured to the lifting bracket of the pump.
We recommend that you place the pump on a
plane, solid foundation. Make sure that the pump
is hanging from the chain and not the power
cable. Make sure that the pump is standing
securely.
3. Hang up the end of the chain on a suitable hook
at the top of the pit and in such a way that the
chain cannot come into contact with the pump
housing.
4. Adjust the length of the power cable by coiling it
up on a relief fitting to ensure that the cable is not
damaged during operation. Fasten the relief
fitting to a suitable hook at the top of the pit.
Make sure that the cable is not sharply bent or
pinched.
5. Connect the power cable.

The free end of the power cable must not
be submerged, as water may penetrate
through the cable into the motor.
