2 General safety instructions
General safety instructions
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for any damage caused by disregarding any secti ons of the entire documentation.
2.1 Intended use
• Only use the pump with suitable media (→ resistance lists).
• Do not use pump with solid particles or abra s ive fluids.
If pumps are to be used for solid particles, then agree use
in advance with the manufacturer.
• Do not use pump with combustib le or explosive fluids.
• Adhere to the operatin g limits and size-dependent minimum flow rates.
• Avoid dry running:
Initial damage, such as destruction of bearings, seals and
plastic parts, will occur within a few seconds.
– Make sure the pump is only operated with, and never
without, pumped liquid.
• Avoid cavitation:
– Open suction-side fitting fully and do not use to regulate
flow.
– Do not open the pressure-side fitting beyond the
agreed operating point.
• Avoid overheating:
– Do not operate the pump while the p ressure-side fitting
is closed.
–Noteminimumflow (→ Data sheet).
• Avoid damage to the motor:
– Do not open the pressure-side fitting beyond the
agreed operating point.
– Note the maximum permissible number of times th e
motor can be switched on per hour (→ manufacturer's
specifications).
• Consult the manufacturer about any other use of the pump.
• If pumps are delivered without motors, then final assembly
as a pump assembly must take place in accordance with
the provisions of machinery directive 2006/42/EC.
Prevention of o bvious misuse (examples)
• Observe pump limits of use regarding temperature, pressure, flow and speed (→ Data sheet).
• The power consumption of the pump increases as the the
specific gravity of the pumped fluid increases. Adhere to
the permissible specific gravity in order to eliminate the
possibility that the pump, coupling and motor are overloaded (→ Data sheet).
A lower specific gravity is permissible. Adapt the auxiliary
systems accordingly.
• When conveying fluids containing solids, observe the limit
values for proportions of solid particles and particle size
(→ Data sheet, technical description).
• When using auxiliary plant systems:
– Ensure compatibility of the operating medium with the
product medium.
– Ensure constant supply of the relevant operating
medium.
• Pumps used with water as the pumped liquid must not be
used for food stuffs or drinking water. Use with food or
drinking water must be specified in the data sheet.
• Typeofinstallationshouldonlybeselectedinaccordance
with these operating instructions. For example, the following are not allowed:
– Hanging base plate pumps in the pipe
– Overhead installation
– Installation in the immediate vicinity of extreme heat or
cold sources
– Installation too close to the wall
2.2 General safety instructions
Observe of the following regulations before carrying out
any work.
2.2.1 Product safety
The pump has been built according to state-of-the-art technology and the recognized technical safety regulations. Nevertheless, operation of the pump can still put the life and health
of the user or third parties at risk or damage the pump or other
property.
• Only op erate the pump if it is in perfect technical condition
and only use it as intended, staying aware of safety an d
risks, and in adherence to the instructions in this manual.
• Keep this manual and all other applicable documents complete, legible and accessible to personnel at all times.
• Refrain from any procedures and actions that would pose
a risk to personne l or third parties.
• In the event of any safety-relevant faults, shut down the
pump immediately and have the fault corrected by appropriate personnel.
• In addition to the entire documentation for the product,
comply with statutory or other safety and accident-prevention regulations and the applicable standards and guid elines in the country where the pump is operated.

5.2 Installing with foundation
NOTE
Material damage due to distortion of base plate.
Position the base plate as follows on the foundation and
attach.
5.2.1 Place pump unit on the foundation
Aids, tools, materials:
– Anchor bolts
– Steel shims
– Mortar casting compound, no shrinkage
– Spirit level
1. Lifting the pump unit (→ 4.1 Transport, Page 12).
2. Hook anchor bolts in the mounting holes on the base plate
from below.
Observe manufacturers information when using the fixing
material.
3. Position the pump unit on the foundation. When doing so
lower the anchor bolts into the prepared anchoring holes.
5.2.2 Attaching pump unit
Filling the base plate with mortar casting compound
improves dampening properties.
1. Fill the anchoring holes with mortar casting compound.
2. When the mortar c asting compound has set, bolt the base
plate at three points to the specified tigh tening torque.
3. Before tightening the remaining bolts, arrange shims next
to every bolt to even out any irregularities in the mounting
surface.

Fig. 6 Installation with foundation
4. Align the pump for height and system dimensions using
steel shims as follows:
– Arrange steel shims (2) to the left and right of each
anchor bolt (1).
– If the distance between the anchoring holes is
> 750 mm, then arrange additi onal steel shims (3) on
each side of the base plate in the center.
5. Ensure that the base plate lies flat against steel shims.
6. Check the permissible height deviation (1 mm/m) using a
mechanical spirit level in a longitudinal and a transverse
direction
7. Repeat the procedure until the base plate is correctly
aligned.

Cause
Intake / suction pipe and/or pressure line
closed by fitting
Intake / suction pipe not completely open
Intake / suction pipe, pump or suction
strainer blocked or encrusted
Cross section of intake / suction pipe too
narrow
Transport and sealing cover still in place Remove the transport and sealing cover.
Suction head too large: NPSH
than NPSH
Counterpressure of system is too high,
pump selected is too small.
intake/suction pipe and pump not correctly
vented or not completely filled
Intake / suction pipe contains trapped air
Air is sucked in
Proportion of gas too high: pump is
cavitating
system
pump
is large r
Remedy
Open fitting.
Open the fitting.
Clean intake/suction pipe, pump or
suction strainer
Increase cross section.
Clean encrustation from suction pipe.
Fully open fittin g.
Dismount the pump and inspect it for
dry-running damage.
Increase pump inlet pressure.
Consult with the manufacturer.
Consult with the manufacturer.
Completely fill and vent pump and/or
pipe.
Install fitting for venting.
Adjust piping installation.
Seal source of problem.
Consult with the manufacturer.

Cause
Temperature of fluid is too high: pump is
cavitating
Viscosity or specific gravity of the pumped
liquid outside the range specified for the
pump
Geodetic differential head and/or pipe flow
resistances too high
Pressure-side fitting not opened wide
enough
Pressure pipe blocked
Pump running in the wrong direction
Motor speed too low
Pump parts worn
Pressure-side fi tting opened too wide
Geodetic differential head, pipe flow
resistances and/or other resistances lower
than specified
Viscosity lower than expected
rge
Remedy
Increase pump inlet pressure.
Lower temperature.
Contact the manufacturer.
Consult the manufacture r.
Remove sediments from the pump
and/or pressure pipe.
Install a larger impeller and consult the
manufacturer.
Open the pressure-side fitting.
Clean the pre ssure pipe.
Changeoveranytwophasesinthe
motor.
Compare the required motor speed with
the specifications on the pump type
plate. Repl ace the motor if necessary.
Increase the motor speed if speed
control is available.
Replace the worn pump parts.
Throttle down the flow rate at the
pressure-side fitting. Observe the
minimum flow rate.
Machine the impeller down. Consult the
manufacturer and a djust the impeller
diameter.

Reduce, add to or replace lubricant.
Replace mechanical seal
Check pumped medium.
Tighten the connecting bolts.
Replace housing seal
Check the pipe connections an d pump
attachment.
Check alignment of coupling.
Check attachment of the support foot.
Check the fuse and replace it if
necessary.
Check the cable connections and
insulation.
