5. Installation

5.1. General installation information
During the entire process of installation, the device must not be connected to the electrical
mains.
The pump and the entire connection system have to be protected from frost.
Please also note the illustrations which are located in the text and also as an annex at the end of these operating
instructions. The figures, which are shown in brackets in the statements below, refer to fig. 5 at the end of the
operating instructions.
All connection lines have to be perfectly tight since leaking lines may affect the performance of the pump and
cause considerable damage. If required, please use a suitable sealant to make the installation airtight.
When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage.
When laying the connection pipes, you should make sure that the pump is not exposed to any form of weight,
vibration or tension. Moreover, the connection lines must not contain any kinks or an adverse slope.
5.2. Installation of the pressure line
The pressure line conveys the liquids to be discharged from the pump to the point of withdrawal. To avoid
dynamic flow losses, one should use a pressure line having at least the same diameter as the pressure port (5) of
the pump.
The pressure line to be used for this application should be a suitable flexible hose - for instance, a specifically
designed drainage hose.
Rigid pipes have proven to be the ideal pressure line for use in a permanent installation.
The pump is equipped with an integrated check valve (non-return valve). It will prevent liquid from flowing back
from the pressure line into the pump after the pump is shut down and protect the unit from being damaged by
pressure peaks.
The pressure line is to be installed to the pressure port (5) of the pump.
5.3. Installation of lowering rope
Fig.1
Thread the lowering cord supplied as shown in fig. 1, through the three eyes in the upper end of the pump. Then
fasten the cord with a double knot (fig. 2). Ensure that the lowering cord is fastened firmly to the pump.
