3.2 Mechanical installation

3.2.1 Foundation

Place the pump on a plate or on bricks so that the

inlet strainer is free of sludge, mud or similar

materials. See fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Place the pump on a plate

3.2.2 Lifting the pump

Lift the pump using the pump handle. Do not lift the

pump by the power cable or by the outlet pipe or

hose.

If the pump is installed in a well or tank, lower and lift

it by means of a wire or chain fastened to the pump

handle.

3.2.3 Positioning the pump

The pump can be used in vertical or horizontal

position. See fig. 3.

During continuous operation, the motor and the

pump inlet must always be completely covered by

the pumped liquid.

During intermittent operation, the motor must always

be half submerged into the pumped liquid.

Fig. 3 Position of the pump

When the pipe or hose has been connected, place

the pump in its operating position.

Position the pump so that the pump inlet will not be

blocked or partly blocked by sludge, mud or similar

materials.

In the case of permanent installation, the pit must be

cleared of sludge, pebbles, etc. before the pump is

installed.

3.2.4 Pipe connection

For permanent installation, we recommend that you

fit a union, a non-return valve and an isolating valve

in the outlet pipe.

3.2.5 Installation on auto coupling

See figs A and B in Appendix.

Pumps for permanent installation can be installed on

a stationary auto coupling and operated completely

or partially submerged in the pumped liquid.

1. Drill mounting holes for guide rail bracket on the

inside of the pit and fasten the guide rail bracket

provisionally with two screws.

2. Place the auto coupling base unit on the bottom

of the pit. Use a plumb line to establish the

correct positioning. Fasten with heavy-duty

expansion bolts. If the bottom of the pit is

uneven, the auto-coupling base unit must be

supported so that it is level when being fastened.

3. Assemble the outlet line in accordance with the

generally accepted procedures and without

exposing the line to distortion or tension.

DANGER

4. Knock the guide rails on to the spigots of the

bottom part of the auto coupling. Bevel the inside

of the guide rails to facilitate installation. The

guide rails must fit tightly on the spigots. We

recommend 3/4" medium size pipes as guide

rails.

5. Adapt the length of the guide rails to fit precisely

the bracket at the top.

6. Unscrew the provisionally fastened guide rail

bracket, fit it on top of the guide rails and finally

fasten it firmly to the pit wall.

7. Clean out debris from the pit before lowering the

pump into the pit.

8. Fit the auto-coupling half on to the outlet of the

pump. Then slide the guide bar of this coupling

half between the guide rails and lower the pump

into the pit by means of a chain. When the pump

reaches the auto-coupling base unit, the pump

will automatically connect tightly.

9. Hang up the end of the chain on a suitable hook

at the top of the pit.

10. Adjust the length of the motor cable by coiling it

up on a relief fitting, so the cable is not damaged

during operation. Fasten the relief fitting to a

suitable bracket at the top of the pit. Make sure

that the cables are not sharply bent or pinched.

3.2.6 Free-standing installation

See fig. C in Appendix.

For free-standing installation of the pumps, fit a 90 °

elbow to the outlet. The pump can be installed with a

hose or rigid pipe and valves.

In order to facilitate service of the pump, fit a flexible

union or coupling to the outlet pipe for easy

separation.

If a hose is used, make sure that the hose does not

buckle and that the inside diameter of the hose

matches that of the outlet.

If a rigid pipe is used, the union or coupling, non-

return valve and isolating valve must be fitted in the

sequence mentioned, as seen from the pump side.

Lower the pump into the liquid.

If the pump is installed in muddy conditions or on

uneven ground, we recommend that you support the

pump on bricks.

3.2.7 Adjusting the float switch cable length

For pumps supplied with a float switch, the difference

in level between start and stop can be adjusted by

changing the free cable length between the float

switch and the pump handle.

• An increased free cable length will result in fewer

starts and stops and a large difference in level.

• A reduced free cable length will result in more

frequent starts and stops and a small difference

in level.

The stop level must be above the pump inlet to

prevent the pump from taking in air.

Fig. 4 Start and stop levels

The start and stop levels vary according to the cable

length.

Intermittent operation

During intermittent operation, the motor must always

be half submerged into the pumped liquid.

The pump is allowed to run for maximum 5 minutes

per 30 minutes without the motor being submerged

in the liquid.

Continuous operation

During continuous operation, the motor and the

pump inlet must always be completely covered by

the pumped liquid.

The guide rails must not have any axial

play as this would cause noise during

pump operation.

The end of the cable must not be

submerged, as water may penetrate

through the cable into the motor.

3.3 Electrical connection Make sure that the product is suitable for the supply

voltage and frequency available at the installation

site. Voltage and frequency are marked on the pump

nameplate.

The pump must be connected to an external main

switch. If the pump is not installed close to the

switch, the switch must be of a lockable type.

Three-phase pumps must be connected to an

external motor-protective circuit breaker with

differential release. The rated current of the motor-

protective circuit breaker must correspond to the

electrical data marked on the pump nameplate.

If a level switch is connected to a three-phase pump,

the motor-protective circuit breaker must be

magnetically operated.

Single-phase pumps incorporate thermal overload

protection and require no additional motor

protection.

3.4 Checking the direction of rotation

Three-phase pumps only

Check the direction of rotation every time the pump

is connected to a new installation.

1. Position the pump so that you can observe the

impeller.

2. Start the pump for a short period.

3. Observe the rotation of the impeller. The correct

direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow on

the top of the motor (clockwise when seen from

the bottom). If the impeller rotates in the wrong

direction, reverse the direction of rotation by

interchanging two of the phases to the motor.

If the pump is connected to a pipe system, check the

direction of rotation in this way:

1. Start the pump and check the quantity of water or

the pressure.

2. Stop the pump and interchange two of the

phases to the motor.

3. Start the pump and check the quantity of water or

the pressure.

4. Stop the pump.

5. Compare the results taken under points 1 and 3.

The largest quantity of water indicates the correct

direction of rotation.
