5. Set-Up and Installation (only to be done by skilled workmen)
5.1 Pump Unit
The complete pump unit with horizontal pressure tank is supplied ready-assembled. A special foundation
is not necessary. The tank can be fixed to the foundation by 4 spacer blocks.
The room must be frost-proof and dry. It should also be well aired in order to prevent undesirable
moisture condensate forming on the unit. Moisture damages the motor. If there is a danger of frost, the
drainage plugs (15) are to be removed. The piston chamber must then be emptied by closing off the
suction line and running the pump for approx. 30 sec.
To protect against accidents, each pump is to be equipped with a belt-guard which conforms to trade
union and/or general safety rules.
The pump-motor must be
protected by a correctly
adjusted motor protector.
5.2 Pump Unit with Vertical Tank
Assembly:
In contrast to the pump units with horizontal tanks which are supplied ready assembled, the units with
vertical tanks have to be set up and installed by a plumber on location. They function the same as the
ready assembled units. However, we wish to point out that an automatic air volume control can also be
installed in a vertical tank when the unit is being set up (s. fig. 113). Directions (D10671) for installing the
automatic air volume control are available upon request.
