2. Installation
2.1 General
• Install the pump on a rigid foundation having enough strength to absorb any
vibration and shock. Never fix the pump at an inclined position. (See Figure 2)
• Install pump in a dry place and make it safe from any possible flooding. Proper
shielding should be provided to protect the pump set from direct solar radiation
and rain.
• The pump set operates on electrical power supply and poses electric power.
Adequate care must be taken to avoid accident.
