  10. Carry out at least two complete pumping procedures of all pumps when conducting a test run.
  11. With double-pumping stations: The pump must be replaced after each pumping operation.
  12. Fill the pressure pipe completely with water to check the duty point. Repeat the test run until the pressure pipe is completely full.
  13. Building installation: Check connections for impermeability.
  14. Only when all connections are tight may the pumping station be operated.
  15. Fit the chamber cover and secure it against unauthorised opening.
