INSTALLATION
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Ground pump motor correctly before connecting
to power supply, per article 250-80 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable.
Location
Locate pump in a dry, well ventilated area, not subject to
freezing or extreme variations in temperature.
Mount pump a minimum of 6” from any obstruction
or hot surface. Install the pump with the motor shaft
vertical. Make sure that an adequate supply of cool air
reaches the motor cooling fan. Maximum ambient air
temperature is 104° F (40° C).
For open systems requiring suction lift, locate the pump
as close to the water source as possible.
Foundation
Foundation should be concrete or a similarly rigid
foundation to provide a secure, stable mounting base for
the pump.
Secure pump to foundation using all bolt holes. Refer to
pages 23-53 for bolt plate dimensions. Be sure that all
four pads on the base are properly supported.
Shim pump base to make sure that pump is level.
Piping
Risk of explosion and scalding. Do not run
pump with discharge valve closed; the water in the
pump may boil, with risk of explosion and steam burns
to anyone near.
If there is any danger of the pump running against a
closed discharge valve, install a pressure relief or by-pass
valve in the discharge pipe to allow for minimum liquid
flow through the pump. Minimum liquid flow through
the pump is needed for cooling and lubrication of the
pump (See Table I). Run the bypass/relief valve and
discharge pipe to a floor drain or a tank for collection.
Suction pipe should be adequately sized (see Table II)
and run as straight and as short as possible to keep
friction losses to a minimum. Pipes, valves and fittings
must have a pressure rating equal to or greater than the
maximum system pressure.
Pressure check the discharge piping as required by codes
or local regulations.
“Inlet” and “Outlet” are marked on the pump base to
show the direction of the liquid flow through the pump.
Install anti-vibration mountings on either side of the
pump if a minimum noise level is desired.
Install isolation valves in both inlet and outlet pipes near
the pump (see Figure 2). This allows for removal of pump
for service without draining the system and isolation of
the pump in case of a flooded suction condition.

If the system pressure is greater than the pump’s
maximum inlet pressure the limits of the pump can
be exceeded if the discharge pressure backs up to the
inlet side of the pump. Installation of a check valve
in the discharge pipe is recommended to prevent this
condition.
Make sure, especially on the inlet side of the pump,
that there are no airlocks in the system. See Figure 3 for
correct pipe work to avoid airlocks. The suction pipe
should be level or slightly rising.
Support all piping independently of the pump so the
weight of the piping system does not strain the pump
case. Make sure that the expansion and contraction of
the piping system from temperature variations cannot put
a strain on the pump.
If the system or pump must be drained periodically
(especially if the discharge pipe is horizontal or slopes
downward away from the pump), install a loop and
vacuum valve as shown in Figure 4 to protect the pump
against running dry. The highest point of the loop should
be at least as high as the lowest point of the motor. This
loop/valve combination will allow the pump and the
system to be drained independently of one another.
ELECTRICAL
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all local codes and regulations.
Make sure that the motor voltage, phase and frequency
match the incoming electrical supply. The proper
operating voltage and other electrical information can
be found on the motor nameplate. These motors are
designed to run up to ±10% of the nameplate-rated
voltage. The wiring connection diagram can be found
on either a plate attached to the motor or on a diagram
inside the terminal box cover.
• If voltage variations are greater than ±10% do not
operate the pump.
• Incorrect voltage can cause fire or serious damage to
the motor and voids warranty.
• Ground the pump motor correctly before connecting
it to the power supply.
• Follow the wiring instructions when connecting the
motor to the power lines.
Position of Terminal Box
To turn the motor so that the terminal box faces the right
direction, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power to the pump motor.
2. Remove the coupling guards (use a screwdriver).
3. Remove the couplings.
4. Remove the bolts that fasten the motor to the pump.
5. Turn the motor to the required position (in quarter-
turn increments).
6. Follow Steps 10–18 under Motor Replacement.
Field Wiring
All wiring connections and wiring sizes must meet
National Electrical Code and local requirements.
Motor Protection
See the motor nameplate for electrical connection/wiring
diagram.
Aurora pumps must be used with the proper size and
type of motor starter to ensure protection against damage
from low voltage, phase failure, current imbalances, and
overloads. The overload should be sized to trip at the
full-load current rating of the motor.

OPERATION
Priming
Risk of explosion and scalding. Do not run
the pump with the discharge valve closed; the water in
the pump may boil, causing risk of explosion and steam
burns to anyone nearby.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. Disconnect all power to the pump before
servicing or working on the pump. Make sure that
the power is locked out and that the pump cannot be
accidentally started.
Operation of closed systems or open systems with the
liquid level above the pump priming plug:
1. Close the discharge isolating valve and loosen the
needle valve located in the assembly in the pump
head (Figure 5). Do not remove the needle valve.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Watch the direction of the
priming plug and make sure that the liquid escaping
from it does not injure persons nearby or damage the
motor or other components. In hot water installations,
pay particular attention to the risk of injury from scalding
hot water.
2. Slowly open the isolation valve in the suction pipe
until a steady stream of liquid runs out the vent in
the priming port.
3. Tighten needle valve to 25 inch-pounds. Completely
open isolation valves.
NOTICE: Please turn to Starting before proceeding
any further.
Operation of open systems with the liquid level below
the top of the pump:
NOTICE: The suction pipe requires a check valve or
isolation valve.
1. Close the discharge isolation valve.
2. Remove the vented priming plug.
3. Pour liquid through the priming port until the suction
pipe and the pump are completely filled with liquid.
4. Replace the vented priming plug and tighten
it securely.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 until the pump is primed.
NOTICE: Please turn to Starting before proceeding
any further.
Checking Direction of Rotation
NOTICE: Do not disconnect the motor from the shaft
to check the direction of rotation. If you remove the
coupling, then you must adjust the shaft position
when you reinstall it. This must be done before starting
the pump.
Arrows on the pump head show the correct direction
of rotation. When seen from the motor fan, the pump
should rotate counterclockwise ( ). For pump motors
without a fan remove one of the coupling guards and
look at the coupling to determine the direction of
rotation. Turn off the pump and replace coupling guard.
NOTICE: Do not check the direction of rotation until
the pump has been filled with liquid. See Priming, at left
and above.
1. Switch power OFF.
2. Remove the coupling guard and rotate the pump
shaft to be certain it can turn freely. Replace the
coupling guard.
3. Verify that the electrical connections are in
accordance with the wiring diagram on the motor.
4. If the fan is visible, turn on and off to verify rotation.
5. To reverse the direction of rotation, first switch OFF
the power supply.
6. On three-phase motors, switch 2 of the 3 power
leads on the load side of the starter. On single-phase
motors, see the connection diagram on the motor
nameplate. Change the wiring as indicated.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Ground the pump motor correctly before connecting
to power supply per article 250-80 of National Electrical
Code (NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC), as applicable.
7. Switch on the power supply and recheck the
direction of motor rotation.

Starting
1. If a suction line isolation valve has been installed,
check to be sure that it is completely opened.
2. For initial starting, the isolation valve in the discharge
pipe should be almost closed.
3. Start the pump.
4. When the piping system has been filled with liquid,
slowly open the discharge isolation valve until it is
completely open. Opening the valve too fast may
result in water hammer in the discharge pipe. If the
pump or system start to rattle, the pump is cavitating;
to avoid damage to the pump, reduce the flow
through the discharge isolation valve until the rattling
stops. If this does not give adequate flow for your
installation, call your installer or system designer.
5. Record the voltage and amperage of the motor.
Adjust the motor overloads if required.
6. If pressure gauges have been installed, check and
record operating pressures.
7. Check all controls for proper operation.
Motor Bearings
For the greasing schedule and greasing procedure of
the motor bearings follow the motor manufacturers
recommendations.
