This pump comes completely assembled.
Before attempting to install your Hypro roller pump, it is imperative to read and understand the following:
• Installation of a Hypro pump should only be performed by a technician having the knowledge and skills
necessary to install the pump without the risk of property damage or personal injury.
• 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 your warranty and could cause damage to property, serious personal injury, or death.
• Electrical power cables and pump hoses must be routed where there is no risk of personnel tripping, walking
into, 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.
• It is the installer’s responsibility that AC electric-drive motors, Hypro pumps, and metalwork of support
structures are bonded to earth (ground), per local and national standards, to prevent a buildup of static electricity.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to conduct earth continuity tests between AC electric-drive motors, Hypro
pumps, and metalwork of support structures and earth according to EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its superseding
standard, to confirm that all components that need to be connected to earth are satisfactorily bonded.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to conduct electrical tests in accordance with EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or
its superseding standard, on finished pump assemblies.

• Always wear steel-toed shoes and cut-resistant gloves when attempting to lift.
• When lifting and carrying, always keep the pump close to your body. (See Figure 1.)
• When starting the lift, bend your knees and keep your back straight. (See Figure 1.) Tightening the stomach
muscles will help keep your back straight.
• During the lift, use your legs to do the work. Never use your back, and make sure your legs are at least shoulder-
width apart. (See Figure 1.)

Transport
• All Hypro pumps are capable of being transported by air, sea, rail or motor vehicle. When the pump is shipped,
ensure that the pump is moved in accordance with local and national laws and is properly secured to prevent
unwanted movement which could cause damage to person or property. Prior to shipping, all fluids should be
removed from the pump.
Storage
• New pumps in their boxes can be stored several years as long as the port plugs are not removed. Once the plugs
have been removed, if the pump is not to be used for an extended period of time (i.e. more than 30 days), the
pump must be winterized as described in the Cleaning section of this manual.
