For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily
accessible.

Protection: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost free and
protected from freezing, particularly when installed in a loft (not
recommended).

Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump. Separate
the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An 80 mm (3 “) air
gap must be maintained around the pump.
2.14

The motor casing can become very hot under normal
operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be
touched during operation.
2.15

event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid
electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
2.16
Pump position: The pump must be positioned on its mounting feet and as close
to the water source as possible.
2.17
Mounting Foot Securing: The pumps within the range are fitted with cast iron
mounting plates. If there is a requirement to secure the pump via the mounting
plates, the following points should be noted.
The pump should be mounted only in the horizontal position.
Floor mounting is the preferred orientation but wall mounting is possible providing
all fixing holes provided are used.
The mounting bolts used to secure the pump must be fitted with a plain washer to
distribute clamping load evenly across load bearing face of foot.
