9. PUMP INSTALLATION
9.1 Installation
The pump must be fixed horizontally using the M16x1.5 threaded support feet. Tighten the screws with a torque of
155 Ft.Lb. (210 Nm). The base must be perfectly flat and rigid enough as not to allow bending or misalignment on the
pump coupling axis/transmission due to torque transmitted during operation.
The unit cannot be fixed rigidly to the floor must must be protected with vibration dampeners. For special applications
contact the Customer Service Department.
A lifting bracket is mounted on the pump for easy installation, as per the figure below.
Replace the oil plug (red) positioned on the rear casing cover. Check the correct quantity with
the oil dipstick.
The oil dipstick must always be reachable, even when the unit is assembled.
