8. Mechanical installation

8.1 Location

The pump is suitable for indoor and outdoor
installation. It is resistant to sunlight.
NOTICE
For outdoor installation, the pump
must be fitted with a protective cover
(accessory). See section 8.5 Protective
cover and 14. Accessories.
CAUTION
!
Should the unlikely event of an internal
leakage occur, pumped liquid will be
drained out from the base and/or end
cover instead of damaging the pump.
To prevent potential damage, select an
installation location that would not be
adversely affected by water.
The pump must be installed horizontally.
The maximum permissible inclination angle is ± 18 °.
See fig. 2.

must be knocked out before use. See fig. 3.
