Installation
Before attempting to install your Hypro centrifugal pump, it is imperative to read and understand the following:
• InstallationofaHypropumpshouldonlybeperformedbyatechnicianhavingtheknowledgeandskillsnecessary
toinstallthepumpwithouttheriskofpropertydamageorinjury.
• When handling Hypro pumps, one should wear steel-toed shoes and protective gloves in order to protect the feet
in the event the pump is dropped and protect the hands from any sharp surfaces on the pump or chemicals.
• Pumping systems must be installed in accordance with Hypro installation instructions. Failure to do so will void

• Electricalpowercablesandpumphosesmustberoutedwherethereisnoriskofpersonneltripping,walkinginto,
or falling because they have been routed in areas where personnel are expected to move. Electrical power cables and
pump hoses should be routed according to local and national standards.
• Itistheinstaller’sresponsibilitytoensurethatACelectric-drivemotors,Hypropumps,andmetalworkofsupport
structures are bonded to earth (ground), per local and national standards.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to conduct earth continuity tests between AC electric-drive motors, Hypro pumps,

• All connections to electrical components must be number, symbol, or color-coded generally as recommended by
EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its superseding standard.
• Installers must provide hydraulic components that are capable of withstanding maximum source pressure.

pressure of the hydraulic motor.
• For pumps with gas engines, the exhaust must be directed away from operators and anyone standing nearby to
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter their breathing zone.
• If a rigid plumbing system is to be used on a Hypro centrifugal pump, the system must be properly aligned with
the inlet and outlet ports.

• Pumps must be installed in a location where they are accessible for any necessary maintenance.
• When a main electrical supply is needed to power electric-drive motors, installers are responsible for ensuring that
a supply disconnect device, capable of isolating the machine from its electricity supply, be provided.
