5 Installation
5.1 Preparing for installation
Check the following points:
• Pump is freely accessible from all sides
• Do not block ventilation grids and holes
• Sufficient room for installing and removing
pipes and for maintenance work, particularly for
installing and dismantling the pump
• No external vibration effects
• Do not draw in any hot exhaust air from other
pumps into the cooling system.
The oil fill ports (Fig. 2/H, H
1
), oil sight glass (Fig. 2/I, I
1
) and oil drains (Fig. 2/K, K
1
), cooling water
inlet (Fig. 3/C) and cooling water outlet (Fig. 3/D) must be easily accessible.
The cooling air intake (Fig. 3/E) and cooling air outlets (Fig. 3/F) must be at least 1 ft. away from
adjacent walls. Hot cooling air coming out must not be allowed to recirculate.
5.2 Installation
NOTICE
The pump may only be operated in a horizontal
position.
Damage may result from the pump tipping
over and falling.
When installed at more than 3000 ft. above sea
level, a reduction in capacity occurs. Contact
Engineering for more information.
Contamination in the intake air
Protect the pump intake port with an external filter
canister unit.
Check for oil leakage
Risk of falling due to oil spills!
Ensure that the mounting surface complies with the
following conditions:
• Level and straight
• The mounting surface must be designed to
accept the weight of the pump.
It is possible to install the pump on a firm surface without anchoring. When installing on a
substructure we recommend mounting with vibration isolators.
