Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instruction

3.7 Condensate

On motors which are subject to strong temperature
deviations or extreme
recommend the use of a motor with stand-by heating

4. Transport, Handling, Storage

4.1 Transport, Handling


Check the pump / pump unit immediately upon
delivery / receipt of despatch for damage or
missing parts.

The pump / pump unit must be transported
carefully and by competent personnel. Avoid
serious impacts.

Keep the pump / pump unit in the same position in
which it was supplied from the factory. Take note
of the instructions on the packaging.

The suction and discharge side of the pump must
be closed with plugs during transport and storage.
Dispose of all packing materials in accordance
with local regulations.

Lifting devices (e.g. fork-lift truck, crane, crane
device, pulleys, sling ropes, etc.) must be
sufficiently strong and must only be used by
authorized persons.

The pump / pump unit may only be lifted by solid
points such as the casing, flanges or frame.
Picture 2 shows the correct method of carrying by
crane.
Do not stand underneath suspended loads.
Take note of the general regulations on
prevention of accidents.
The pump / pump unit must be secured against
tipping over and slipping until it has been fixed
in its final location.
Sling ropes must not be fixed to ends of shafts
or the ring loops of the motor.

5. Mounting / Installation

5.1 Mounting of Pump / Unit

The pumps must be bolted to a solid base (e.g.
concrete foundation, steel plate, steel bracket, etc.).
This base must withstand all loads occurring during
operation. The place, where the pump is mounted
must be prepared acc. to the dimensions of the
dimensional drawings. The concrete foundations
should have sufficient firmness acc. to DIN 1045 or
equal standard (min. BN 15), to ensure a secure,
functional mounting. The concrete foundation must
have set, before the unit is erected. Its surface must
be horizontal and even. For the position and size of
the pump feet and the foundation screws refer to the
dimensional drawing.

to avoid formation of condensate inside the motor.
The stand-by heating must not be switched on during
the operation of the motor.
Slipping out of the pump / unit of the transport
lifting device can cause damages to persons
and things.

4.2 Storage / Conservation

Pumps or units, which are stored over a longer period
before start-up (max. 6 months), must be protected
from moisture, vibrations and dirt (e.g. by wrapping in
oil paper or plastic). Pumps must basically be stored
in a place where they are protected from the weather,
e.g. under dry cover. During this time, all suction and
discharge branches and all other intakes and outlets
must be closed with dummy flanges or plugs.
For longer periods
measurements at machined surfaces and packing
with moisture protection can be necessary!
Concrete expansion bolts, epoxy capsule anchor bolts
or anchor bolts grouted with the foundation (stone
screws), can be used for.
Sufficient space
maintenance and repair work, especially for
replacing the drive motor or the complete pump
unit. The motor fan must be able to take in
enough cool air, and the intake grille must
therefore be at least 10 cm away from any wall,
etc.

When mounting the pump on the foundation it
must be adjusted at the discharge nozzle by
means of a spirit-level (at discharge nozzle). The
permitted deviation is 0,2 mm/m. Levelling shims
