B3- Storage
If the pump is not to be installed and operated soon after arrival, store the pump in a clean, dry and frost-
free place with moderate changes in ambient temperature.
If the pump has regreaseable bearings, pump extra grease on bearings to prevent moisture from entering
around the shaft.
To prevent the pump from moisture, dust, dirt and foreign materials suitable steps should be taken.
The pump shaft should be revolved periodically (e.g. once a week) to prevent pitting of the bearing surfaces
and the pump from seizing up.
C- INSTALLATION ON SITE
Installation has to be carried out in accordance with EN 60204-1.
The pump should only be installed, levelled up and aligned by skilled personnel. Incorrect installation or
defective foundation could result in troubles. This would not be covered by the warranty.
C1- Bare Shaft Pump
If the pump has been supplied without electric motor and coupling it is necessary to select a proper motor
and coupling before proceeding to the installation of the unit.
The following considerations must be taken into account for selection of motor:
Maximum power absorbed by the pump over the total operating range,
Pump operating speed,
Available power (frequency, voltage, etc.)
Motor type (TEFC, exproof, etc.)
Motor mounting position (foot mounted, nge mounted, horizontal, vertical, etc.)
When selecting coupling nominal motor power and operating speed must be taken into account.
C2- Preparation For Installation
Before installing the pump
Clean the discharge anges thoroughly.
Remove the protective coating from the pump shaft.
If the pump has been in temporary storage remove all the grease from the bearings with grease lubricated
or remove the oil from the bearing house if the pump is oil-lubricated, then clean the bearings with a suitable
cleaning
and relubricate (
NOTE: This is not necessary for the pumps with life time grease lubricated
bearings).
C3- Installation Site
The pump must be installed in a frost and dust-free, well-ventilated and non-explosive
environment.
The pump should be installed such that there is space for access, ventilation, maintenance and there is
t space above the pump for it to be lifted.
C3.1- Foundation
The greatest care must be taken in preparing the foundation and mounting the pump set.
Incorrect installation will result in premature wear of pump components and break down of the pump.
The foundation should be heavy enough to reduce vibrations and rigid enough to avoid any twisting or
misalignment. Make sure the concrete foundation has set
and solid before mounting the pumpset. The
surface of the foundation should be truly horizontal and pe
