3.5 Safety instructions relevant for operation
•If hot or cold machine components involve
hazards, they must be guarded against acci-
dental contact.
•Guards for moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not
be removed from the machine while in opera-
tion.
•Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic,
hot) fluids (e.g. from the shaft seal) must be
drained away so as to prevent any risk to per-
sons or the environment. Statutory regulations
are to be complied with.
•Hazards resulting from electricity are to be
prevented (see for example, the VDE Specifica-
tions and the bye-laws of the local power supply
utilities).
•The pumps are only secured safely if properly
attached to the floor or underneath a tank.
•The female threads on the motor MUST NOT be
used to lift the entire pump and motor assembly.
3.6 Safety instructions relevant for mainte-
nance, inspection and assembly work
Any work on the machine shall only be performed
when it is at a standstill, it being imperative that the
procedure for shutting down the machine described
in this manual be followed.
Pumps and pump units which convey hazardous
media must be decontaminated.
On completion of work all safety and protective
facilities must be re-installed and made operative
again.
Prior to restarting the machine, the instructions
listed under “Start up” are to be observed.
3.7 Signs on the pump
It is imperative that signs affixed to the machine,
e.g.:
•arrow indicating the direction of rotation
•symbols indicating fluid connections
be observed and kept legible.
3.8 Unauthorized alterations and production
of spare parts
Any modification may be made to the machine only
after consultation with the manufacturer. Using
spare parts and accessories authorized by the
manufacturer is in the interest of safety. Use of
other parts may exempt the manufacturer from any
liability.
4 Transport and storage
Protect the pump against damage when transport-
ing.
The pumps may only be transported in a horizontal
position and hooks or straps must be attached on
the motor and pump end.
Do not use the pump shaft for connecting any
transportation aids such as hooks or straps.
Pumps must be drained prior to their storage.
Store pump in dry and protected areas and protect
it against penetration of foreign bodies.
Always store pump above the freezing point!
5 Installation and Connection
5.1 Mechanical installation
The pumps must be properly fastened. The pipework
must be installed so that no distortion of the pump can
occur. The fluid inlet is directed laterally (see drawing
below). The clearance between the suction opening
and the tank floor should be large enough to prevent
the suction opening from becoming blocked even if
the coolant is heavily polluted and the pump has not
been operated for long periods.
In order to reach the maximum flow rate it is recom-
mended that the pipe diameter is as close as possible
to the nominal pump connection diameter. Avoid the
introduction of pipe bends (no angled sections).
The installed pipes must be rated for the hydraulic
pressures which occur during operation. The positions
of the foot and pressure connection can be moved
around the circumference to 3 different positions. On
the S-type, the pipe connection can also be set to
normal or parallel alignment to the pump axis.
*) Diemension for SBF1350-V
**) Diemension for SBA2000-V and SBG1700-V
ATTENTION
Maximum tightening torque for piping connec-
tions is 200 Nm!
When installed the space around the pump
must be large enough to provide sufficient
cooling of the motor
The pump must never under any circumstances
be used as a point for securing the piping. No
forces or torques from the piping may be al-
lowed to affect the pump. Pipes must be inter-
cepted directly before the pump and connected
with no tension.
The pump must be mounted in that way that
rotating parts under the cover of the coolant
tank can not be touched!
