1 Discharge nozzle 2 Plain bearing3 Motor 4 Impeller5 Suction nozzle 6 Motor shaft
The pump is designed with a radial fluid inlet and a radial outlet arranged on thesame axis. The impeller is rigidly connected to the motor shaft.
The motor housing is equipped with a terminal box. Mechanical sealing is notrequired as the rotating assembly is completely isolated from the stator winding. Therotating assembly is lubricated and cooled by the fluid pumped. The motor housing ismade of aluminium. Most of the internal parts are made of stainless steel. Theadvanced lubricating system, high-quality carbon bearings and precision-balancedimpeller ensure smooth running and a long service life.
The fluid enters the pump via the suction nozzle (5) and is accelerated outward in acylindrical flow by the rotating impeller (4), which is driven by the motor shaft (6). Inthe flow passage of the pump casing the kinetic energy of the fluid is converted intopressure energy. The fluid is pumped to the discharge nozzle (1), where it leaves thepump. The shaft runs in plain bearings (2), which are supported by the motor (3).

6. Connect the pump flange to the pipe flange by means of screws. Tighten thescrews hand tight.
5.4 Connecting the piping
DANGER
Excessive loads acting on the pump nozzlesDanger to life from leakage of hot fluids!
▷ Do not use the pump as an anchorage point for the piping.
▷ Anchor the pipelines in close proximity to the pump and connect them withouttransmitting any stresses or strains.
▷ Take appropriate measures to compensate thermal expansion of the piping.
NOTEIt is recommended to install check and shut-off elements in the system, dependingon the type of plant and pump. However, such elements must not obstruct properdrainage or hinder disassembly of the pump.
✓ The suction lift line has been laid with a rising slope, the suction head line with adownward slope towards the pump.
✓ The nominal diameters of the pipelines are equal to or greater than the nominaldiameters of the pump nozzles.

WARNINGIncorrect connection to the mainsDamage to the mains network, short circuit!
▷ Observe the technical specifications of the local energy supply companies.
1. Check the available mains voltage against the data on the name plate.
2. Select an appropriate start-up method.
The pumps must be connected in accordance with the applicable regulations. Theelectrical data is printed on the name plate of the pump. A wiring diagram isprovided under the cover of the terminal box. PG cable glands are fitted at theterminal box for connecting the cables.
Pumps of sizes 25-30 S to 25-60 T do not require any external motor protection.Pumps of sizes 25-60 T and larger require external overload protection.
NOTEIf a conventional motor protection switch is used, the overload setting must beadjusted to the current indicated on the name plate of the pump. When changingthe speed level, this setting must be adjusted accordingly.
For three-phase pumps ("Rio N xx-xx T" models) the direction of rotation of thepump should be checked after the electrical connection. To do so, use a suitablescrewdriver to remove the vent plug in the centre of the name plate. This will open
