5. Electrical Connection
5.1 The electrical connection should
be carried out in accordance
with local regulations. Never
make any connections unless
the electricity supply has been
switched o.
5.2. The electrical hazard warning
mark is placed outside the
connection box. Be careful.
5.3. Electrical data (voltage and frequency)
are shown on the pump nameplate.
Verify if these data match your
electricity supply. A Residual current
device (RCD, 30mA) should be
installed and the grounding be properly
connected for your safety.
5.4. Motors must be connected to a
motor-protective circuit breaker
which can be manually reset. Set
the motor-protective circuit breaker
according to the rated current of
the motor. See nameplate.
5.5. Make electrical connection in accordance
with connecting diagram located inside
the connection box. The motor current
must be within the rated amps range
indicated on nameplate. Three phase
motor requires a magnetic starter for
safety.
5.6. For three phase motors, look down from
the fan cover the correct direction of
rotation is rotate clockwise. if wrong
rotation, you can reverse the direction
of rotation by interchanging any two of
the incoming supply wires.
5.7. Motors must equipped overload
protector and open-phase protector to
avoid motor damage.
6. Start-up
Before starting the pump, make sure the
following:
6.1. For three phase motors, verify if the
rotating direction is correct. It should be
clockwise, look down from the motor
fan cover.
6.2. All piping joints are completely tight.
Leakage in piping may cause the pump
hydraulic loss.
6.3. The pump is lled with liquid.
6.4. The suction filter is not blocked by any
foreign objects.
7. Operation and Maintenance
It is dangerous to operate the
pump against a closed discharge
outlet because it will cause
extremely high liquid flow
temperature and damage the
pump in a few minutes.
7.1. Periodic checks
The following checks should be carried
out periodically to ensure the normal
operation.
7.1.1. Check the quantity of liquid and
operating pressure.
7.1.2. Check there are no leaks on piping
joints.
7.1.3. Check the tripping of the motor
starter.
7.1.4. Check that all controls are
functioned normally.
7.2. The pump must not be used to transfer
explosive liquids. In systems with hot
liquids (over 60°C), extra caution should
be exercised to prevent from personal
injury.
7.3. The pump should not be used to transfer
toxic or contaminated liquids. Please
carefully follow all instructions in the
manual as Walrus may refuse to accept
the contaminated pump for servicing.
7.4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its
service agent.
