PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested before
shipment from the factory. Before installation, inspect
the pump for damage which may have occurred during
shipment. Check as follows:
a)Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged
threads, and other obvious damage.
b)Check for and tighten loose attaching hardware.
Since gaskets tend to shrink after drying, check
for loose hardware at mating surfaces.
c) Carefully read all warnings and cautions
contained in this manual or affixed to the pump,
and perform all duties indicated. Note the
direction of rotation indicated on the pump.
Check that the pump shaft rotates
counterclockwise when facing the impeller.
Only operate this pump in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the pump body
and
on the accompanying decal. Refer to
Rotation in OPERATION, Section C.
d) Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Refer
to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIR section of this manual and perform
duties as instructed.
e) If the pump and power source have been stored
for more than 12 months, some of the
components or lubricants may have exceeded
their maximum shelf life. These must
be
inspected or replaced to ensure maximum
pump service.
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if
anything appears to be abnormal, contact your TORO
distributor or the factory to determine the repair or
updating policy. Do not put the pumpinto service until
appropriate action has
been taken.
POSITIONING PUMP
Death or serious personal injury and
damage to the pump or components can
occur if proper lifting procedures are not
observed. Make certain that hoists, chains,
slings or cables are in good working
condition and of sufficient capacity and
that they are positioned so that loads will
be balanced, and the pump or components
will not be damaged when lifting. Suction
and discharge hoses and piping must be
removed from the pump before lifting. Lift
the pump or component only as high as
necessary and keep personnel away from
suspended objects.
Lifting
Pump unit weights will vary depending on the mounting
and drive provided. Check the shipping tag on the unit
packaging for the actual weight and
use lifting equipment
with appropriate capacity.
Drain the pump and remove
all customer-installed equipment such as suction and
discharge hoses or piping before attempting to lift
existing,installed units.
Mounting
Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as
practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mounting is
essential for proper operation.
The pump may have to be supported or shimmed to
provide for level operation or to eliminate vibration.
Clearance
It is recommended that 18 inches (457 mm) of clearance
be provided in front of the back cover to permit removal
of the cover and easy access to the
pump interior. A minimum clearance of 8 inches (203
mm) must be maintained to permit removal of the cover.
