Installation Installation Before installation 5.1.1 General instructions to prepare the product WARNING The product is heavy. Use the correct lifting gear to lift the product. CAUTION Handle the product with care during transport to prevent damage to the pump shaft. 1.
Installation CAUTION If you let the product run dry or if you run the product with a closed discharge line for more than 2 minutes, this can damage the product. 7. Dry the product. Note Due to factory testing, the product might contain some water. For liquids that may not come in contact with water, the product must be dried before taking it into use.
Installation Installation of the piping 5.2.1 General instructions to prepare the piping 1. Make sure that: the diameter of the piping is calculated for maximum flow velocities as specified in § 5.2.2. the pipe connections are free of tension. Take into account the expansions of pipes if you pump a liquid with a high temperature.
