Do not stand underneath suspended loads.
Take note of the general regulations on preven-
tion of accidents.
The pump / pump unit must be secured against
tipping over and slipping until it has been fixed
in its final location.
Sling ropes must not be fixed to ends of shafts
or the ring loops of the motor.
Slipping out of the pump / pump unit of the
transport lifting device can cause damages to
persons and things.
4.2 Storage / Conservation
Pumps or units, which are stored over a longer period
before start-up (max. 6 months), must be protected
from moisture, vibrations and dirt (e.g. by wrapping in
oil paper or plastic). Pumps must basically be stored
in a place where they are protected from the weather,
e.g. under dry cover. During this time, all suction and
discharge branches and all other intakes and outlets
must be closed with dummy flanges or plugs.
For longer periods of storage conservation measure-
ments at machined surfaces and packing with mois-
ture protection can be necessary!
5. Mounting / Installation
5.1 Mounting of Pump / Unit
The pump and motor (= pump unit) must be provided
with a base frame made of steel or cast iron or a fab-
ricated (welded) frame, where this does not exist al-
ready or if it is not included in the delivery. This base
frame must be placed on a foundation which can
withstand all loads that arise during operation (refer to
chapter 5.1.2).
When mounting the pump onto the base frame the
following must to be noticed:
ƒ The base frame must be solid, so that there won´t
occur any twists or vibrations during the operation.
ƒ The mounting surfaces of the pump feet and mo-
tor on the base frame must be flat (machining is
recommended). Bracing of the pump leads to
premature breakdown of the pump and to a loss
of warranty.
ƒ The drillings for the pump mounting must be in
such a way, that safe fastening is guaranteed.
ƒ Between pump and motor shaft an adequate
space must be left depending on the used cou-
pling, refer to chapter 5.3.
5.1.1. Mounting the unit to a foundation
The place, where the pump is mounted must be pre-
pared acc. to the dimensions of the dimensional draw-
ings. The concrete foundations should have sufficient
firmness acc. to DIN 1045 or equal standard (min. BN
15), to ensure a secure, functional mounting.
The concrete foundation must have set, before the
unit is errected. Ist surface must be horizontal and
even.
Sufficient space must be provided for mainte-
nance and repair work, especially for replacing
the drive motor or the complete pump unit. The
motor fan must be able to take in enough cool
air, and the intake grille must therefore be at
least 10 cm away from any wall, etc.
ƒ For the set of anchor bolts according recesses
must be provided. If that is not the case, concrete
expansion bolts resp. epoxy capsle anchor bolts
can be used.
ƒ When mounting the pump on the foundation it
must be adjusted at the discharge nozzle by
means of a spirit-level (at discharge nozzle). The
permitted deviation is 0,2 mm/m. After inserting
the foundation bolts they must be cast in the
foundation with concrete. After setting of the grout
the coupling alignment must be checked accord-
ing chapter 5.3.1 and possible misalignments
must be corrected by adjusting foundation frame
in the area of the drive motor. The smoothness of
the base frame must be 0,2 mm/m before it is
filled up resp. fastened. For adjustment leveling
shims or leveling screws (optional, not delivered
standardwise) can be used. Levelling shims must
be inserted next to the foundation anchors and
must lie plainly. After that fasten foundation bolts
symmetrically but only slightly. Fill in base frame
with non shrinking grout.
Notice:
ƒ Avoid air bubbles (e.g. by vibrating).
ƒ Check that the grout has properly set and hard-
ened.
ƒ Take care for the after-treatment of the concrete
acc. to DIN 1045.
After setting, tighten the foundation anchor evenly and
firmly. Check alignment of coupling acc. to chapter
5.3.1 and re-adjust, if necessary. Further, check that
all screws between pump / motor and the base frame
fit snugly.
Although the original ICP-base frames are designed
solidly, the filling in of the adjusted base frame up to
the rim is recommended.
ƒ If vibrations are transmitted to the foundation from
adjoining components, it must be guarded through
adequate vibration damping paddings (vibrations
from outside can impair the bearing).
ƒ To prevent vibrations being transmitted to adjoin-
ing components, the foundation should be laid on
a suitable insulating base.
The size of these insulating pads will vary, de-
pending on circumstances, and should there-
fore be determined by an experienced special-
ist.
