Use Of Chains; Start-Up - Homa TPM Originalbetriebsanleitung

By directly connecting the float switch in the pump, the pump turns on automatically if this
switch is triggered manually! Therefore, make sure that the pump is not connected if you are working on
the float.

5.3. Use of chains

Chains are used to lower/lift the pump into/out of the mechanical room. They are not provided for securing a
floating pump. For use according the instructions follow these steps:

Fix one end of the chain at the at the provided eyelet/the handle of the pump.

Fix the other end on the lifting device.

Tighten the chain and lift the pump slowly and in a controlled manner.

Swing the pump subsequently over the mechanical room and lower it carefully. When using a
suspension device, also observe Section 5. Commissioning.

Lower the pump as far as the operation point and ensure a steady position of the pump and that the
coupling system is correctly connected.

Remove the chain from the lifting device and safeguard this on the chain guard, which is at the upper
edge of the mechanical room. This ensures that the chain cannot fall into the mechanical room and
does not pose danger to anyone.
Please see the following images with this respect.
