INSTALLATION
Generalrecommendations
To ensure proper installation, please see the dimen-
sions on the dimensional drawing in the Parts List.
NOTE! The end of the cable must not be submerged.
It must be above flood level, as water may penetrate
through the cable into the junction box or the motor.
Check that the lifting handle and chain are in good
condition.
For automatic operation of the pump (level control),
it is recommended that the level regulators be used
at low voltage. The data sheet delivered with the regu-
lators gives the permissible voltage. Local rules may
specify otherwise.
Clean out all debris from the sump before the pump is
lowered down and the station is started.
— NOTE for Ex version page 3.
— Minimum stop level should be
according to the dimensional
drawing.
— The pump must never run dry or
on snore.
Safety precautions
In order to minimize the risk of accidents in connection
with the service and installation work, the following
rules should be followed:
11. Never work alone. Use a lifting harness, safety
line and a respirator as required. Do not ignore
the risk of drowning!
12. Make sure there are no poisonous gases within
the work area.
13. Check the explosion risk before welding or using
electric hand tools.
14. Do not ignore health hazards. Observe strict
cleanliness.
15. Bear in mind the risk of electrical accidents.
16. Make sure that the lifting equipment is in good
condition.
17. Provide a suitable barrier around the work area,
e.g. a guard rail.
18. Make sure you have a clear path of retreat.
19. Use safety helmet, safety goggles and protective
shoes.
10. All personnel who work with sewage systems
must be vaccinated against diseases to which
they may be exposed.
11. A first-aid kit must be close at hand.
12. Note that special rules apply to installation in
explosive athmosphere.
Follow all other health and safety rules and local
codes and ordinances.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
— Before starting work on the
pump, make sure that the pump
and the control panel are isolated
from the power supply and cannot
be energized.
— If the pump is equipped with
automatic level control, there is
a risk of sudden restart.
— All electrical equipment must be
earthed. This applies to both pump
equipment and any monitoring
equipment. Failure to heed this
warning may cause a lethal
accident. Make sure that the earth
lead is correctly connected by
testing it.
— If persons are likely to come into
physical contact with the pump or
pumped media (liquid), e.g on con-
struction sites and farms, the
earthed(grounded)socketmust
haveanadditionalearth-(ground-)
faultprotection device (GFI)
connected.
When pumping near a lake (jetties,
beaches,ponds,fountainsetc)
a safety-distance of at least 20 m
(65 ft) between the person and the
pump is applicable.
The pump must never be placed
directly into a swimming pool. If
used in connection with swimming
pools, special safety regulations
apply.
NOTE for Ex version page 3.
