3.7. Pumping Liquid
The pumping liquid includes thin, clean, non-corrosive and non-explosive liquid
which shall not contain any solid particles, fiber or mineral oil, and the pump must
definitely not be used to pump inflammable liquid such as rapeseed oil and gasoline.
If the pump is used in a place with relatively high viscosity, the pump has lower
performance. So when choosing a pump, the viscosity of liquid must be taken into
account.

The junction box can be rotated in a step of 90°.
The procedures for changing the position of junction box are as follows:
1. Close the valves at the inlet and outlet and release the pressure;
2. Unscrew and remove the four socket head screws that fasten the pump body;
3. Rotate the motor to the required position and align the four screw holes;
4. Install the four socket head screws again and fasten them clockwise making
sure they are fully tightened;

5. Open the valves at the inlet and outlet.

Warning
Pumping liquid may be high-temperature and high-pressure;
therefore, the liquid in the system must be completely drained or the
valves on both sides of motor pump must be closed before removing
the socket head screws.
4.4. Thermal Insulation of Motor Pump Body
Limiting the heat loss of motor pump body and pipeline.
Motor pump body and pipeline should be thermally insulated
to reduce their heat loss.
Do not insulate or cover the junction box and control panel.

9. Performance Curve
9.1.
Every setting of the motor pump has corresponding performance curve (Q/H curve).
However AUTO (Self Adaptive Mode) mode covers just one performance scope.
The input power curve (P1 curve) belongs to every Q/H curve. Power curve represents
the power consumption of motor pump in given Q/H curve with Watt as the unit.
P1 value corresponds to the readings taken from the monitor of motor pump.
