Calls attention to a potential risk that might
affect safety.
Transport and Storage
When taking delivery of the pump, check that it has not
been damaged in transit. If anything is found wrong, take the
necessary steps with the carrier within the allowed time.
Handle the pump carefully so as not to alter the geometry or
alignment of the hydraulic assembly.
Product Description
The pump
Multistage vertical pump (2 to 20 stages, depending on model).
Not self-priming. Ports in line at bottom. Shaft sealing by
standardized mechanical seal.
• Flanges*
Flanges are round for all models and include screwed
companion anges with gaskets, nuts, bolts and washers.

The motor
The Davey VM series multi-stage pumps have been specically
designed to be used with special TEFC ange mounted electric
motors. Typical specication for motors supplied are;
• TEFC motor with standard metric frame ange and shaft for
vertical operation. Motor and pump linked by a coupling with
safety guards.
• Protection index: IP 54 (min.)
• Insulation class: F
• Single phase motors up to 2.2kW include built-in thermal
protection with automatic reset, except special dual voltage
(240/480v) motors.
• Dual voltage / larger single phase motors and three phase
motors to be wired in with a contactor incorporating quick-trip
thermal overloads.
NOTE: • Motor sizes 0.37kW to 4.0kW are V18 / B14 small
ange mounted.
• Motor sizes 5.5kW to 22kW are V1 / B5 large
ange mounted, with special bearings.
FREQUENCY 60Hz
SPEED 3600 rpm
VOLTAGE* 1-PHASE 220V
3-PHASE 220/380V

Instructions concerning electricity
If the equipment delivered is to be installed
at a later time, store it in a dry place and
protect it from impact and outside hazards
(moisture, frost, etc.).
