3.6 Mobile installation (TYPE S)
In mobile installation (TYPE S), the pump is mounted on a specific base which keeps it vertically on the bottom of the tank and ensures that the
intake is at the correct height.

3.6.1 Installation procedure
1. Check that the pump is disconnected from the power supply panel and the impeller turns in the correct direction using the procedure descri-
bed in point 3.2 "Checking the impeller rotation direction".
2. Lower the pump onto the base using a chain or sling of suitable strength secured to the handle. Ensure that it cannot fall and/or swing.
3. Secure the pump to the base with the screws provided.
4. Connect the outlet to the piping using the standardised flange. Use stainless steel metal fasteners or protect the screws and nuts with a sui-
table product to prevent corrosion. A shut-off valve and a ball type check valve with full free passage should be installed using a connection
pipe with length equal to at least 5 times the diameter of the outlet. If a hose is used, fit a flanged hose connector.
A hose with reinforcing coil or semi-rigid hose is recommended to ensure that the free passage remains constant even at bends in the hose
or points where it changes direction.
Secure the hose to the union by means of a metal band clamp.
5. Lower the pump into the tank until it rests firmly on the bottom using a chain or sling of suitable strength secured to the handle. Ensure that
the pump cannot fall and/or swing.
6. Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted or torn or drawn in by the pump.
7. Bring the cables out of the tank through a clean, smooth duct. Do not lay cables with tight bends or in positions with risk of crushing or
damage.
8. Take off the heat-shrink sheath that protects the end of the cable, following the instructions provided in paragraph 2.2.
9. Connect the electric cables to the control panel as explained to Chapter 4. "Electrical connections".
3.7 Vertical installation in dry chamber (TYPE T)
For vertical installation in a dry chamber (TYPE T), the pump is supplied, on request, with intake flange designed for fixing to a curved base
(KBC).
3.7.1 Installation procedure
1. Construct two supports on the bottom of the tank in a material which will support the weight of the pump and the stresses which it generates
(cement, concrete, brickwork, etc.), in order to set the intake port at the correct height. The recommended dimensions are provided in the
technical information sheet;
2. Check that the pump is disconnected from the power supply system and that the impeller turns in the correct direction using the procedure
described in point 3.2 "Checking the impeller rotation direction".
3. Place the pump on the base andsecure it with the fixing screws;
4. Connect the flanged elbow to the pump intake port with the fixing screws. If necessary, lay the pump on its side and fix it in position to pre-
vent accidental movements;
