PUMP INSTALLATION

9.1

Installation

The pump must be fixed horizontally using the Ø16.5 drilled
support feet.
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.
Two lifting eyebolts are mounted on the pump for easy
installation, as per the figure below.
The lifting eyebolts must not be removed.
The eyebolts are sized for lifting the pump only
and must never be used to handle additional
loads
Replace the oil filler closing plug located on the
casing with the oil filler cap.
The oil filler cap must always be reachable, even
when the unit is assembled.
The pump shaft (PTO) must not be rigidly
connected to the drive unit.
The following types of transmission are
recommended:
- Flexible coupling.
- Universal joint (comply with the maximum
working angles recommended by the
manufacturer).
- Belts, for proper application consult with our
Technical or Customer Service Departments.
