4.7 Pump head position
If you remove the pump head before installing the pump in the
pipes, pay special attention when fitting the pump head to the
pump housing:
1. Visually check that the floating ring in the sealing system is
centered. See figures 9 and 10.
2. Gently lower the pump head with rotor shaft and impeller into
the pump housing.
3. Make sure that the contact face of the pump housing and that
of the pump head are in contact before you tighten the clamp.
See fig. 11.

Fig. 10 Incorrectly centered sealing system
Observe the position of the clamp before you
tighten it. Incorrect position of the clamp will cause
leakage from the pump and damage the hydraulic
parts in the pump head. See fig. 11.
