Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instruction
For the material code used, see the data sheet and/or
the order confirmation.
The specified pressure and temperature limits apply
for standard materials.

4. Transport, Handling, Storage

4.1 Transport, Handling

Check the pump / pump unit immediately upon
delivery / receipt of despatch for damage or
missing parts.
The pump / pump unit must be transported
carefully and by competent personnel. Avoid
serious impacts.
Keep the pump/pump unit in the same position in
which it was supplied from the factory. Take note
of the instructions on the packaging.
The suction and discharge side of the pump must
be closed with plugs during transport and
storage.
Dispose of all packing materials in accordance
with local regulations.
Lifting devices (e.g. fork-lift truck, crane, crane
device, pulleys, sling ropes, etc.) must be
sufficiently strong and must only be used by
authorized persons. You find the weight of the
pump in the appendix.
Lifting of the pump / unit may only be performed at
stabile suspension points such as the casing or
the stool. Avoid the use of the motor lifting eyes to
lift the pump.
Sling ropes must not be fixed to ends of shafts
or the ring loops of the motor.
Slipping out of the pump / pump unit of the
transport lifting device can cause damages to
persons and things.

5. Mounting / Installation

5.1 Mounting the unit / Foundation

Pumps of design TDB and TDV must be firmly bolted
to a solid substructure (e.g. concrete foundation, steel
plate, steel beam, etc.). The substructure must be
capable of withstanding all loads arising during
operation. The size of the substructure and the
location and size of the recesses for the foundation
anchors can be found in the setup plan.
The structure must be designed according to the
dimensions of the
foundations should have sufficient firmness acc. to
DIN 1045 or equal standard (min. BN 15), to ensure a
secure, functional mounting.
The concrete foundation must have set, before the
unit is erected. Ist surface must be horizontal and
even.

The usage limits for other materials are available upon
request.
Do not stand underneath suspended loads.
Take note of the general regulations on
prevention of accidents.
The pump / pump unit must be secured against
tipping over and slipping until it has been fixed
in its final location.

4.2 Storage / Preservation

Pumps or units, which are stored over a longer period
before start-up (max. 6 months), must be protected
from moisture, vibrations and dirt (e.g. by wrapping in
oil paper or plastic). Pumps must basically be stored in
a place where they are protected from the weather,
e.g. under dry cover. During this time, all suction and
discharge branches and all other intakes and outlets
must be closed with dummy flanges or plugs.
For longer periods
measurements at machined surfaces and packing with
moisture protection can be necessary!
Preservation
On storing the pump longer than 3 month (depends on
order; also see adhesive plate on the pump):
A special preservation has been made ex works.The
product used for this must be removed by rinsing the
system before the first normal startup.
Sufficient space
maintenance and repair work, especially for
replacing the drive motor or the complete pump
unit. The motor fan must be able to take in
enough cool air, and the intake grille must
therefore be at least 10 cm away from any wall,
etc.
For the set of anchor bolts according recesses
must be provided. If that is not the case, concrete
expansion bolts resp. epoxy capsule anchor bolts
can be used.
The pump must be aligned vertically during
placement on the foundation with the help of a
bubble level (at the pressure joints or at the
suction joints). The permitted deviation is 0,5
mm/m. For adjustment levelling shims can be
used. Levelling shims must be inserted next to
the foundation anchors and must lie plainly.
Subsequently, tighten the anchor screws evenly.
