4. INSTALLATION
THE PUMP INSTALLATION MUST BE EXCLUSIVELY ENTRUSTED TO
SKILLED TECHNICIANS; IF CARRIED OUT BY OTHER PERSONS, THERE
CAN BE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PERSONS
AND/OR TO THE PUMP.
4.1 • CHECK OF REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
Pump is built to be used in closed and protected places. The chosen working
place must be far from the painting room, from storerooms containing solvents or
paints, from places with danger of explosion.
• CHECK OF PLACE SUITABILY AND SAFETY DISTANCE
The pump must be installed in compliance with the safety distance from the
walls, pillars or other machines, etc according to the eventual regulations of
the law in force in the country where the pump is installed.
Check in particular (fig.18):
– hight of the place: minimum
– distance from the walls: minimum 0,5
– working space: minimum
– panel space
– maintenance space, assembly and disassembly, entry and exit ways in case of emergency
–
position of other machines
– possibility to perform electrical connection
• LIGHTING
Every pump part must be lit uniformly and as much as to guarantee adjustement
and maintenance in accordance with the manual, avoiding shade reflection daz-
zling and sight weariness.
Lighting must comply with the present rule in force in the country where the
pump is installed (under the responsibility of lighting installation personnel).
• FLOOR
The pump must be installed on a horizontal foundation with adequate resist-
ance, made of batched concrete or realized by strong supports. Furthermore
the floor must be flat and good levelled (10 mm of tolerance on the levelling).
In case of particular applications, please contact the manufacturer.
• ELECTRICAL CONECTIONS
ATTENTION! Before electrical connection, check what follows:
- the pump feeding system must be protected in accordance
with the normes in force in the country where it is installed.
- the supply line must be suitable for required power and tension
of the pump (check data in the motor sticker).
4.2 • PUMP BODY ASSEMBLY TO THE MOTOR
When a bare shaft pump is supplied, it is the custumers responsibility to carry
out correctly the assembling of the group.
It is however necessary to follow the instructions below:
– lift the pump unit with a crane or suitable lifting device with the
correct capacity. For a vertical pump, lift the assembly through the
support (Fig.19) or the eyes bolted on the flanges. For a horizontal
pump unit, lift by holes in base frame.
– level the pumps; in case of pump assembly on a common base,
verify that the common base is flat through a level put on the
delivery port (fig.20) or on the pump shaft.
If necessary, insert some shims under the pump feet.
– check the correct alignment of the pump-motor.
– connect the motor to the main
– check the rotation direction of the motor confronting it with
the arrow shown on the pump.
