PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Risk of severe injury or death.
•
When lifting or moving heavy components, use suitable lifting equipment, in good condition, rated for at least 5 times the
weight of the materials being moved.
Risk of bodily injury or property damage.
•
Pump installation and operation should only be performed by a qualified individual with experience in pump systems.
•
Pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations. Gauges should be installed on the suction and discharge to
monitor pressure.
•
Ensure that the foundation is rated to accommodate the operating weight of the package and that it is sized sufficiently for
the weight and loads the package will experience.
•
Ensure all pipe loads are fully supported independently of the pump. Use properly rated gaskets and flanges and fully
tighten all bolts when connecting to the pump.
Foundation
For fixed installations, provide a solid, level foundation.
1.
Locate the foundation as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped.
•
Provide adequate space for operation, maintenance, and inspection of the pump and equipment.
2. Allow the foundation to completely dry and cure before installing the pump system.
3. Use anchor bolts to attach the pump baseplate to the foundation.
