Installation
! WARNING
• Pumps should always be installed in dry and clean locations. If the place of installation is humid, wet or with particles in
suspension, the appropriate motor should be selected for these conditions.
• When installing the pumping equipment, it should be protected from solar radiation, since this has a direct and negative
impact on the operation and useful life of the equipment, since it significantly increases the temperature and accelerates
the aging of paints and external surface finishes. Therefore, for equipment that is not installed in pump rooms or
similar, the installation of awnings or protective roofs should be considered.
• Sufficient space should always be left for disassembly and maintenance of the pump unit. In normal installations,
pumps should be located near the source of supply of the fluid to be pumped.
• Install the equipment well leveled and if possible on a solid concrete base with anchor bolts, to avoid vibrations and
displacements.
• The design of piping systems, anchorages and other areas of the installation is not the responsibility of VOGT S.A.
• VOGT S.A. only offers the data and comments as an aid, but cannot assume responsibility for the design, assembly and
operation of an installation. It is recommended that the client consult a specialist in the design of foundations, piping,
wells, etc. to complement and interpret the information provided by VOGT S.A. and to ensure correct operation.
THE PUMP AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE HEAVY. IMPROPER HANDLING DURING HANDLING AND HOISTING
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
5.1 Checking the Pump on Arrival
Check upon arrival that the pump and accessories have not been damaged or lost in transit. If so, immediately report the
damaged or missing parts to VOGT S.A., the authorized distributor or the company that carried out the transport.
VOGT S.A. supplies its pumping equipment series MD, MDE, HDE on robust structural bases, which are designed to be
placed on the foundation and anchored with bolts, as indicated later in this manual. The possibility of grouting the carbon
steel bases to the foundation is at the customer's discretion.
In the case of pumping equipment mounted on stainless steel bases, grouting should not be used to fix the base to the
foundation, the anchoring of these bases should be done as indicated below.
