Service manual

START–UP
1. Pump should turn freely by hand. Ensure all
guards are in place.
2. If heating is necessary, turn on supply and
allow pump temperature to stabilize.
3. Gradually open appropriate valves, and check
for signs of leakage.
4. If pump is above the level of liquid in the tank (suction lift), prime the pump by pouring a few
gallons of liquid (Do not use water) in the strainer housing or adjacent piping – particularly on the
suction side.
5. Check the pump rotation by flicking motor starter ‘on’ then ‘o!’. (Correct rotation indicated by
diagram on pump cover plate)
6. Start pump – check system for leaks
Caution:
Be sure all guards are in place, and all appropriate
safety gear is worn prior to starting pump.
During initial run, pump speed should be operated at
minimum in order to insure all functions are normal,
connections are leak free, and rotation is smooth.
Cautiously increase to normal operating speed.
