- אָרט: Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures. An enclosed environment is ideal.
- מאָונטינג: Securely mount the pump on a stable, level surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure there is sufficient space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
- פּייפּינג קאַנעקשאַנז:
- Connect the suction pipe to the pump's inlet (typically marked "IN" or with an arrow pointing towards the pump). Ensure the suction pipe is airtight to prevent air leaks, which can cause the pump to lose prime.
- Connect the discharge pipe to the pump's outlet (typically marked "OUT" or with an arrow pointing away from the pump).
- Use appropriate fittings (1 inch NPT) and sealants to ensure leak-free connections. Avoid putting strain on the pump's connections from the piping.

Once installed and primed, the pump is ready for operation.
- ערשט אָנהייב: After priming, connect the pump to the power supply. The pump should start immediately and begin pumping water.
- מאָניטאָרינג:
- Observe the pump during the first few minutes of operation for any unusual noises, vibrations, or leaks.
- Check the pressure gauge (if installed) to ensure the pump is operating within its specified working pressure range (6 bar for PK 60).
- Ensure a steady flow of water. If the pump runs without delivering water, shut it off immediately to prevent damage from dry running. Re-prime the pump.
- קעסיידערדיק אָפּעראַציע: The pump is designed for continuous duty within its specified performance limits. Avoid operating the pump outside these limits.
- שאַט-אַראָפּ: To turn off the pump, disconnect it from the power supply. If the pump will be out of use for an extended period, especially in cold weather, follow the winterization procedures in the Maintenance section.
