▪Observe the limits for continuous operation specified in the data sheet or
product literature (Qmin2) and Qmax3)) (to prevent damage such as shaft fracture,
bearing failure, mechanical seal damage, etc.).
▪When untreated waste water is handled, the duty points in continuous operation
lie within 0.7 to 1.2xQopt4) to minimize the risk of clogging/hardening.
▪Avoid duty points for continuous operation at very low speeds and small flow
rates (<0.7 x Qopt4)).
▪Observe the maximum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product
literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage, cavitation damage,
bearing damage, etc).
▪Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the pump set (to prevent
cavitation damage).
▪Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.

9 Bearing, pump-end 10 Bearing, motor-end
The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The hydraulic
system sits on the extended motor shaft. The shaft runs in common bearings.
The fluid enters the pump axially via the suction nozzle (6) and is accelerated
outward by the rotating impeller (7). In the flow passage of the pump casing the
kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into pressure energy. The fluid is pumped to
the discharge nozzle (2), where it leaves the pump. The casing wear ring (1) prevents
any fluid from flowing back from the casing into the suction nozzle. At the rear side
of the impeller, the shaft (4) enters the casing via the discharge cover (3). The shaft
passage through the cover is sealed towards the atmosphere with a shaft seal (8). The
shaft runs in rolling element bearings (9 and 10), which are supported by a bearing
bracket (5) connected to the pump casing and/or discharge cover.
The pump is sealed by two bi-rotational mechanical seals in tandem arrangement.
A lubricant reservoir in-between the seals ensures cooling and lubrication of the
mechanical seals.
4.7 Scope of supply
Depending on the model, the following items are included in the scope of supply:

5 Installation at Site
5.1 Safety regulations
DANGER
Improper installation in potentially explosive atmospheres
Damage to the pump set!
▷Comply with the applicable local explosion protection regulations.
▷Observe the information given in the data sheet and on the pump/motor name
plates.
DANGER
Persons in the tank during pump operation
Electric shock!
▷Never start up the pump set when there are persons in the tank.
WARNING
Impermissible solid objects (tools, screws/bolts or similar) in the pump sump/inlet tank
during pump start-up
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Check the pump sump/inlet tank for impermissible solid objects before flooding,
and remove, if necessary.
5.2 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
5.2.1 Checking the operating data
Before installing the pump set, verify that the name plate data matches the data
given in the purchase order and the site system data.
5.2.2 Preparing the place of installation
Place of installation for stationary models
WARNING
Installation on mounting surfaces which are unsecured and cannot support the load
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Use a concrete with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi [Class C25/30
in exposure class XC1 to EN 206-1].
▷The mounting surface must have set and must be completely horizontal and
even.
▷Observe the weights indicated.
Any resonances at the usual excitation frequencies (1x and 2x rotational frequency,
rotational noise) must be prevented both in the foundation and in the connected
piping, as such frequencies may cause extreme vibrations.
1. Check the structural requirements.
All structural work required must have been prepared in accordance with the
dimensions stated in the outline drawing/general arrangement drawing.

Place of installation for transportable models
WARNING
Incorrect positioning
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Position the pump set vertically with the motor on top.
▷Use appropriate means to secure the pump set against overturning and tipping
over.
▷Refer to the weights given in the data sheet/on the name plate.
Any resonances at the usual excitation frequencies (1x and 2x rotational frequency,
rotational noise) must be prevented both in the foundation and in the connected
piping, as such frequencies may cause extreme vibrations.
1. Check the structural requirements.
All structural work required must have been prepared in accordance with the
dimensions stated in the outline drawing/general arrangement drawing.
5.2.3 Checking the lubricant level
The lubricant reservoirs have been filled with an environmentally-friendly, non-toxic
lubricant at the factory.
1. Position the pump set as shown.

Fig. 4: Checking the lubricant level
2. Unscrew screw plug 903.03 with joint ring 411.03.
⇨The lubricant level must reach the filler opening.
3. If the lubricant level is lower, top up lubricant through the filler opening until
the lubricant reservoir overflows. (⇨ Section 7.2.2.1.4 Page 43)
4. Close screw plug 903.03 with joint ring 411.03.
5.2.4 Checking the direction of rotation
DANGER
Pump set running dry
Explosion hazard!
▷Check the direction or rotation of explosion-proof pump sets outside potentially
explosive atmospheres.
WARNING
Hands or objects inside the pump casing
Risk of injuries, damage to the pump!
▷Never insert your hands or any other objects into the pump.
▷Check that the inside of the pump is free from any foreign objects.
▷Take suitable precautions (e.g. wear safety goggles, etc).
