4. INSTALLATION
4.1 LOCATION
When selecting an installation site or designing a skid package, consideration should be
given to access for routine maintenance.
PULSAR pumps are designed to operate indoors and outdoors, but it is desirable to
provide a hood or covering for outdoor service. External heating may be required if
ambient temperatures below -18 C (0 F) are anticipated. Check with the factory
regarding suitability of the operating environment.
The pump must be rigidly bolted to a solid and flat foundation to minimize vibration,
which can loosen connections. When the pump is bolted down, care must be taken to
avoid distorting the base and affecting alignments. The pump must be level within 2.
This will assure that the hydraulic and gear oils are maintained at the proper levels and
that the check valves can operate properly.
