PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS
The safety information below should be followed and observed to prevent damage to
equipment or injury to operators:
WARNING!
Do not apply heat to the impeller inlet eye
or hub to remove impeller. The impeller
may fracture resulting in damage to
equipment or personal injury.
WARNING!
Do not operate pump with very low flow rate
or no flow rate. Overheating of the pump
and vaporization of pumping fluids may
generate extreme pressures. This may
result in damage to equipment or personal
injury.
WARNING!
Observe drive rotation prior to installing
couplings or drive belts. Failure to do so
may result in damage to equipment or
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Treat Summit SP pumps as both a pressure
vessel and rotating machinery. Follow all
safety instructions for both types of
equipment at all times.
CAUTION!
Feeding very hot or very cold fluids into the
pump at room temperature may result in
fracture of pump wet end.
CAUTION!
Follow all auxiliary equipment (motors,
drives, couplings ect) manufactures
manuals, instructions or procedures during
installation, operation and maintenance of
the pump.

2. RECEIPT AND STORAGE
RECEIVING THE PUMP
Immediately upon arrival, carefully inspect the pump for evidence of damage during
transit. Immediately report any damage to your local Summit Pump distributor.
STORING THE PUMP
TEMPORARY
Temporary storage is less than six months. Store pump in a clean, dry place, free from
extreme swings in temperature and humidity. Rotate the shaft once a week to avoid
bearing damage.
LONG TERM
Long Term Storage is more than six months. Follow temporary storage guidelines and
consult with factory for detailed long term guidelines.
HANDLING
Pump unit boxes and crates may be unloaded using a forklift or slings depending on size
and package construction.
WARNING!
Pumps and assemblies are heavy, improper
handling can result in serious injury.
LIFTING
To avoid damage to pump and/or motor unit should be lifted using a nylon sling, chain or
wire rope. The slings should be placed so lift is equally supported at four or more points.
To avoid damage, See figure below to guide placement of slings.
CAUTION!
Be sure all components are securely
fastened to baseplate before lifting.
DO NOT LIFT
FROM THIS POINT

SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP 4
3. INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The pump should be located as close as practical to the supply of liquid. Other location
considerations are easy access for inspection and maintenance and ample overhead space
for lifting with crane or hoist.
The final location consideration is to assure that maximum NPSHa is available at the
suction flange. NPSHa must always be greater than NPSHr.
FOUNDATION
CONCRETE SUB-BASE
The concrete sub foundation performs a number of functions. It must support the weight
of the entire pump assembly, maintain the alignment of all system components, and
absorb the loads, forces and vibrations that are developed under normal operating
conditions. The concrete material used must be top quality and conform to local building
codes as well as the contractor’s strength requirements. Reinforcing bars and mesh
should be used as required. The mounting surface of the concrete foundation must be flat
and level beneath the footprint of the sub-base, or the pump could be installed out of
square. This could create problems aligning the piping, place extra loads on the
couplings and bearings, and alter the operating levels of lubricants or hydraulic fluids in
the system. It is recommended that the top surface of the slab be held flat and level to
Ff50/F150 according to American Concrete Institute (#117) and the Canadian Standards
Association (#A23.1) which is approximately 1/8” per 10 foot.
The mass weight of the sub foundation should be 3-5 times the mass weight of pump,
motor and baseplate. Dimensionally, it should be 3” to 6” longer and wider than the
polymer concrete or fabricated steel baseplate. Anchor bolts are installed in pipe sleeves.
The pipe diameter is 2.5 times larger than the anchor bolt diameter. This sleeve/bolt
assembly is embedded in the base when poured.
Anchor bolt sizes: 1”-8UNC. Length is 7.5 to 10” depending on base thickness and
overall size.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP 5
BASEPLATE GROUTING
1. This grouting instruction assumes a concrete sub base has been put in place to
accept the baseplate. The sub base should be clean of dirt, oil and any other
debris.
2. Shims/wedges should be put in place on the sub base, as shown below.
Shims/wedges should be wood, as shown.
SHIMS/WEDGES(wood)
3. Locations are shown in figure below. Use 2 to 3 per stack to obtain desired gap
between baseplate and sub-base. Normal gap is 1” to 1-1/2”.
4. Carefully lower baseplate with pump and motor onto sub base over anchor bolts.
5. Level baseplate to 0.125” over length and 0.088” in over width.
6. When leveling is complete, tighten anchor bolts uniformly hand tight.
7. Build a plywood form around baseplate supported on the sub base. It should be 3”
high and 1” to 1.5” larger than the baseplate. Its size should be large enough to
include the shims or wedges that are left in place.
8. Use a high quality non-shrinking epoxy grout, following manufacturer’s mixing
and installation instructions.
9. When grout has cured, per grout manufacturer’s recommended cure time , tighten
anchor bolt till secure.
10. When grouting is complete, check coupling alignment and re-align as necessary.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP 6
PIPING CONNECTION – SUCTION / DISCHARGE
Connect piping in a manner that is as short and direct as possible. Independent pipe
supports and anchors must be used in all installations. Never support piping with pump
flanges.
SUCTION PIPING
Never use suction piping smaller than the suction flange size. Use pipe one to two sizes
larger than the pump suction with an eccentric reducer at the pump suction flange. Install
reducer flat side on top if the suction side incurs a lift. Place the flat side on the bottom if
the suction side is flooded.
Elbows at the pump suction should be avoided. If used, the vertical position is the only
acceptable position. Horizontal positioning where the elbow plane is parallel to the pump
shaft will result in excessive axial loads on the pump shaft and could lead to breakage.
If a horizontal elbow is used, it must be at least ten (10) suction pipe diameters from the
suction flange.
Shut off valves should be located as close as possible to the suction source, not at the
pump.
CAUTION!
Do not throttle the pump using the suction
valve. This valve is for pump isolation
during maintenance.
CAUTION!
Use valves specifically designed for slurry
liquids. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the pump.
Suction piping should be sized to ensure a flow velocity of Four (4) to Seven (7) feet per
second.
DISCHARGE PIPING
For a short run, use the same diameter pipe as the discharge flange pipe diameter. For a
long run, the discharge pipe should be one (1) to two (2) sizes larger than the discharge
flange diameter. If the larger size discharge pipe is used, install the pipe increaser
directly onto the pump discharge flange. A check valve (first) and isolation valve should
be installed in the discharge line. (The check valve prevents back flow during pump
shutdowns. The isolation valve is for pump isolation during maintenance.) If an
increaser is used, mount it directly on the pump discharge flange with the check and
isolation valve directly downstream.

SUMMIT PUMP MODEL SP 7
ALIGNMENT
CAUTION
Careful alignment is an extremely important
consideration to ensure long pump life.
The pump and driver were aligned at the factory, however that alignment will have been
disturbed during transportation and handling. Alignment must be rechecked. If
necessary, align the motor to the pump, not the pump to the motor. Check both parallel
and angular alignment. Final alignment should be within 0.005" in all planes at operating
temperature.
If pump is belt driven, refer to belt manufacturer for correct alignment procedures.
Alignment checking needs to be done several times prior to pump start up. Those
alignment recommendations are as follow:
WARNING!
Lock out Power to avoid personal injury.
1. Prior to grouting, to remedy misalignment caused by transportation
2. After grouting, to correct any changes that occurred during grouting.
3. After piping is connected to ensure possible pipe strains have changed alignment.
4. Hot alignment, after the pump has reached operating temperature, if the pump is
used in high temperature service.
Alignment is accomplished by adding or removing shims under the motor feet and
moving the motor as required.

3. Fill grease through fittings until there is grease coming out of the relief hole.
4. Reinstall Pipe Plugs(2.13).
SEALING
WARNING!
Lock out power to avoid personal injury
PACKING
1. The packing should be as loose as possible without an air leak, when the pump is
started. As the pump runs in, gradually tighten the gland bolts evenly. Recommend
adjusting the packing nuts no more than one flat every 25 minutes. There must be some
leakage. The leakage should be reduced to 40 – 60 drops per minute. Normally this will
take 50 – 60 minutes for packing to seal.
MECHANICAL SEALS
1. Check all fasteners to be sure they are tight.
2. Turn shaft by hand to ensure no binding exists.
3. Check seal, flush lines for leaks, if shut off valves exist, turn on.
PRIMING
A centrifugal pump should never be operated unless first filled with liquid and ALL of
the air vented out. The pump must NOT be operating to prime it.
1. Lock out power to the pump drive,
2. Remove coupling guard.
3. Slowly rotate the pump several turns by hand when priming. An operating pump
cannot be vented as the water will exit, but not the air.
4. Re-install the coupling guard.
5. Restore power to the pump.
The pump must be fully primed and suction pipe full of liquid before the pump is started.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the pump dry, rotating parts
may seize, damaging pump.
