ASSEMBLY

Setting up the equipment
1. Prepare a flat and firm location.
2. Erect the unit horizontally and safe from the
risk of flooding.
The unit must be protected from the rain
and direct water jets.
Connecting the suction line (fig. 6)
1. Select the length of the suction line in such a
way that the pump cannot run dry. The suction
line must always be at least 30 cm beneath
the surface of the water.
2. Connect the suction line (6). In doing so, make
sure that the connection is tight, but do not
damage the thread.

We recommend using flexible lines at the
pump inlet (6). This ensures that mecha-
nical pressure or tension cannot be ex-
erted on the pump.
3. Always lay the suction line with an upward
gradient.
Fitting the pressure line (fig. 5)
1. Fit the pressure line. In doing so, make sure
that the connection is tight, but do not damage
the thread.
2. Open all shut-off devices (valves, spray nozz-
les, water cock) in the pressure line.

Oil recommendations
Engine oil is a decisive factor on the performance
and lifetime of the engine. Use an engine oil which
fulfils the requirements for API service class SF or
higher (or equivalent).
Check the API service label on the oil container
in order to ensure that the letters SF or those of a
higher (or equivalent) class are present.
