start-up
The instructions for installation contain important and helpful information for the proper
functioning and maintenance of your equipment. It is absolutely vital that you go through
this publication attentively, to acquaint yourself with the operation and to follow the
recommendations. The instructions for installation contain also hints to avoid accidents
and severe damage before commissioning and during operation, and to assure safe and
trouble free performance of the pump. (See also general information)
3.1 General
• Leave installation and start-up to authorised personnel.
• Make sure rotating parts are well covered and that the pump is isolated, and cannot
be started whilst jobs are carried out on the pump.
• Make sure that a guard offers protection against rotating parts when running the
pump.
• Mount any parts that may have been supplied separately.
• In case the pump is provided with an isolation, special attention has to be paid To
temperature limits of shaft seal and bearing.
3.2 Location
• Locate the pump / pumpunit close to the liquid source. The better the suction
conditions, the better the performance of the pump.
• Sufficient room should be left around the pump / pump unit to allow proper inspection,
pump isolation and maintenance. (refer to dimensions in chapter 9 "Dimensions").
• It is imperative that the operating device of pump and/or pump unit is always (also
during operation) accessible.
• The area in which the pump unit is to be placed should be adequately ventilated. A too
high ambient temperature and air humidity, as well as a dusty environment may have a
negative effect on the functioning of the pump.
• If there is any risk of freezing, switch off the pump, drain it and preferably flush or fill it
with oil, if permitted.
