better together
5. Secure a chain or sling of suitable strength to the pump handle and lower the pump into the tank, placing the base on the supports in the
bottom;
6. Mark the positions of the mounting holes;
7. Make holes of suitable diameter for the base fixing slots;
8. Fix the base firmly to the two supports using chemical or expansion plugs. Use stainless steel metal fasteners or protect the screws and nuts
with a suitable product to prevent corrosion.
9. Connect the intake pipeline to the flanged elbow;
10. Connect the discharge pipeline to the pump.A shut-off valve and a ball type check valve with full free passage should be installed using a
connection pipe having length at least 5 times the inside diameter of the discharge port).
11. Clean the tank to remove any remaining debris and waste.
12. Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted or torn.
13. Bring the cables out of the tank through a clean, smooth duct. Do not lay cables with tight bends which may be crushed or damaged.
14. Remove the heat-shrink sheathing which protects the end of the cable and follow the instructions provided in point 2.2.
15. Connect the electric cables to the control panel as explained to Chapter 4. "Electrical connections".
3.8 Horizontal installation in dry chamber (TYPE Z)
For horizontal installation (TYPE Z), the pump has a fitting for fixing to the supporting metal structural work
(KBS-H).
3.8.1 Installation procedure
(See APPENDIX 4 page 156)
1. Check that the pump is disconnected from the power supply panel and the impeller turns in the correct
direction using the procedure described in point 3.2 "Checking the impeller rotation direction".
2. Position the pump vertical on a firm, even surface.
3. Unscrew the screws which secure the lifting handle, if present, and remove it. As an alternative, unscrew
and remove the eyebolts.
4. Secure the top bracket to the motor lid of the electric pump. Be very careful not to damage the electric
cables.
5. Secure the spacer to the top bracket without tightening the fixing nuts.
6. Secure the bottom bracket to the body of the pump.
7. Using a plumb line, adjust the position of the spacer so that its supporting plate lines up with the bottom
bracket; tighten the spacer nuts
8. Put the pump in position by using a suitable mechanical device (crane, tackle). Lift with a chain or sling of suitable size for the weight of the
pump. Take care since the pump, fixed to the metal structure, may swing as it is lifted off the ground.
9. Fix the system firmly to the bottom of the tank using chemical or expansion plugs. Use stainless steel metal fasteners or protect the screws
and nuts with a suitable product to prevent corrosion.
10. Connect the intake and outlet pipelines. A shut-off valve and a ball type check valve with full free passage should be installed using a con-
nection pipe with length equal to at least 5 times the diameter of the outlet.
11. Clean the tank to remove any remaining debris and waste.
12. Secure the electric cables so that they cannot be twisted or torn.
13. 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 dama-
ge.
14. Take off the heat-shrink sheath that protects the end of the cable, following the instructions provided in paragraph 2.2.
15. Connect the electric cables to the control panel as explained to Chapter 4. "Electrical connections".
3.9 Unspecified installation (TYPE X)
