• Insert the Quick-Connect plug into the Quick-Con-
nect socket on the connection cable of the unit.
• Pull the metal sleeve over the connection and screw
both cable ends together.

With this type of installation, the product is installed
directly on the rising pipe. The installation depth is
determined according to the length of the rising pipe.
Do not place the product on the bottom of the pit, as
this can lead to tension and mud accumulation in the
motor. If the motor becomes blocked with mud, the
heat discharge can no longer be ensured and the motor
may overheat.
Additionally, the product should not be installed level
with the filter pipe. Sand and other solids may be
pumped through the suction flow, meaning the motor
cooling can no longer be guaranteed. This would lead
to increased wear on the hydraulics. To prevent this, a
water guide shroud should be used when necessary, or
the product should be installed next to blind pipes.
Installation with flanged pipes
Use hoisting gear with sufficient lifting capacity. Place
two pieces of square timber across the well. The sup-
port clamp will later be placed on them, so they should
have sufficient bearing capacity. If the well opening is
narrow, a centering apparatus must be used, since the
product may not touch the sides of the well.
1 Place the submersible motor pump vertically and
secure it from falling over or slipping.
2 Attach the mounting brackets to the flange of the ris-
ing pipe, hang them on to the lifting gear and lift out
the first pipe.
3 Fasten the free end of the rising pipe to the discharge
port of the submersible motor pump. A seal must be
placed between the connections. Always insert the
bolts from below, so that the nuts can be screwed on
from above. Also, always tighten the bolts in a cross
pattern to avoid pressure on the seal from one side.
4 Fasten the cable with a cable clip slightly above the
flange. If the drilled hole is narrow, the flanges of the
rising pipes must be have notches for the cables to
pass through.
5 Lift up the unit with the pipe, move it over the well and
lower it until the support clamp on the rising pipe can
be loosely connected. When doing this, make sure that
the cable remains outside the support clamp, so that it
does not get squeezed.
6 Then let the support clamp rest on the pieces of square
timber that you put in beforehand. The system can

now be lowered further until the upper pipe flange
rests on the attached support clamp.
7 Remove the mounting bracket from the flange and
attach it to the next pipe. Lift up the rising pipe, move
it over the well and flange-bolt the free end to the ris-
ing pipe. Place another seal between the connections.
Beware of serious crush injuries!
After the support clamp is removed, the hoisting
gear bears the entire weight of the system and
the pipe sags. This can lead to serious crush inju-
ries! Before removing the support clamp, ensure
that the holding cable in the hoisting gear is
taut!
8 Remove the support clamp, then fasten the cable
slightly above and below the flange with a cable clip.
For heavy, large-diameter cables, it is advisable to
attach a cable clip every 2 to 3 meters. If several cables
are used, each must be fastened separately.
9 Lower the rising pipe so that the flange is in the well,
put the support clamp back on and lower the rising
pipe until the next flange touches the support clamp.
Repeat steps 7 to 9 until the rising pipe reaches the
required depth.
10 On the last flange, remove the mounting bracket and
attach the well cover.
11 Attach the lifting gear to the well cover and raise it
slightly. Remove the support clamp, feed the cable out
through the well cover and lower the cover on to the
well.
12 Bolt the well cover fast.
Installation with threaded connections
The procedure is almost the same as for installation
with flanged pipes. However, please note the following:
1 The pipes are joined by means of threaded connec-
tions. The threaded pipes must be screwed tight to
each other without leaks. This means the pipe ends
must be wound with oakum or Teflon tape.
2 When screwing the pipes together, make sure that
they are in line, so that the thread is not damaged.
3 Note the direction of rotation on the unit. Use a pipe
with the correct thread (right or left-handed) so that
the pipe cannot become unscrewed by accident.
4 The threaded pipe must be secured against accidental
loosening.
5 The support clamp required during installation must
always be firmly mounted directly below the pipe con-
nection bell. Tighten the screws evenly until the clamp
is firmly touching the pipeline (the arms of the sup-
port clamp may not touch each other).
