! CAUTION !
Do not start the pump until it has been
fully filled with liquid and air vented.
Ensure air vent screw hole is fully
tightened.
Use care, especially in hot water
applications, to ensure liquid flow
cannot injure people or damage the
pump.
4. Start motor, verify motor is turning and
is turning in the right direction.
5. Check pressure meter on pump’s
discharge for fluctuations in pressure
and observe pump for vibration. If
pressure drops/vibration indicate air in
the liquid, loosen air vent bolts to vent
air, retighten bolts once pressure
stabilizes and vibrations stops.
6. All valves on the inlet pipe should be
fully opened and the outlet valve opened
slowly after startup.
7. Check all controls for normal operation.
If the pump is controlled by a pressure
switch, check and adjust the starting
and stopping pressure.
8. Check the full load current to make sure
it will not exceed the max. current.
9. Observe for changes in the sound of
pump operation. If there are any
abnormal noises, pump should be
stopped and checked immediately.
SHUT DOWN
1. Close outlet valve slowly.
2. Switch off the power.
! WARNING !
Avoid frequent pump shut down and
start up.
Pumps with a motor power equal to or
less than 5HP should not be restarted
more than 100 times per hour. Pumps
with a motor power greater than 5HP
should not be restarted more than 20
times per hour.
SEAL MAINTENANCE
Mechanical seal will be adjusted
automatically. The rotating and stationary
parts are lubricated and cooled by the
transferring liquid.
When replacing the mechanical seal, the
user needn’t disassemble the motor on
models with power higher than 10HP.
FROST PROTECTION
This pump is suitable for applications in
which there may be freezing conditions, if
the following precautions are taken:
1. Suitable antifreeze is added to the
transferring liquid, OR
2. If antifreeze is not uses, pump should be
stopped when freezing conditions might
occur
3. In either circumstance, pumps not being
used should be drained.
MOTOR LUBRICATION
For motor powers less than 7.5HP,
lubrication is not needed. For motor power
equal to or greater than 7.5HP, fill grease
every 5000 running hours.
SUCTION FILTER
For maximum performance, the suction filter
should be always kept clean and free from
obstructions.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
The following checks should be carried out
periodically to ensure normal operation:
1. Measure the discharge and output
pressure.
2. Inspect piping and joints for leaks.
3. Measure motor temperature for
changes.
4. Examine the motor starter/container.
