4.1 Lifting points for submerged and dry vertical
installation (S/C/D)
When lifting the pump it is important to use the right lifting point to
keep the pump balanced. S pumps model S/C/D are equipped
with a bracket with liftting points ensuring that the pump can be
lifted in a safe manner. See fig. 5 and table below to find the

5. Transportation and storage
The pump is supplied from the factory in proper packing in which
it should remain until it is to be installed.
Make sure that the pump cannot roll or fall over.
All lifting equipment must be rated for the purpose and checked
for damage before any attempt to lift the pump. The lifting
equipment rating must under no circumstances be exceeded.
The pump weight is stated on the pump nameplate.
Warning
Always lift the pump by its lifting bracket or by
means of a fork-lift truck, never by means of the
motor cable or the hose/pipe.
Do not remove the insulation from the free end of
the supply cable until the electrical connection is
to be made. Whether insulated or not, the free
Caution
cable end must never be exposed to moisture or
water. Non-compliance with this may cause
damage to the motor.
For long periods of storage, the pump must be protected against
moisture and heat.
Storage temperature: -22 °F to +140 °F (-30 °C to +60 °C).
Warning
If the pump is stored for more than one year or it
will be a long time before it is put into operation
after the installation, the impeller must be turned
at least once a month.
After a long period of storage, the pump should be inspected
before it is put into operation. Make sure that the impeller can
rotate freely. Pay special attention to the condition of the shaft
seals and the cable entry.
6. Installation
Warning
Before beginning the installation, switch off the
power supply and lock the mains switch in
position 0.
Any external voltage connected to the pump must
be switched off before working on the pump.
The extra nameplate supplied with the pump should be fixed at
the installation site.
All safety regulations must be observed at the installation site, for
instance the use of blowers for fresh-air supply to the pit.
Warning
Do not put your hands or any tool into the pump
suction or discharge port after the pump has
been connected to the power supply, unless the
pump has been switched off by removing the
fuses or switching off the mains switch. It must
be ensured that the power supply cannot be
accidentally switched on.
Prior to installation, check the oil level in the oil chamber, see
10.1 Oil check and oil change.
