6.2 Vibration dampening
If vibration dampers are used, they must be installed under the
foundation.

6.3 Outdoor installation
When installed outdoors, we recommend you to provide the motor
with a rain cover. We also recommend you to open one of the
drain holes in the motor flange.
6.4 Hot surfaces
Warning
When pumping hot liquids, care should be taken to
ensure that persons cannot accidentally come into
contact with hot surfaces.
Figure

shows which pump parts get as hot as the pumped
liquid.
