START-UP AND FIRST OPERATION
Prior to operation, completely understand controller settings. Make sure the electric wiring is correct, according to the
enclosed drawings.
1.
Open the continuous flush valve completely.
2.
Open the booster pump vent valve to bleed air.
3.
Apply water to the filter. If inlet valve is installed, open valve.
4.
Open all manual valves on the outlet tubing system of the booster pump.
5.
Check the system for leakage.
6.
Turn on the booster pump by pressing the pump switch at overload protection switch box.
7.
Verify that the pump is turning in the proper direction according to the arrow marked on the pump body.
8.
Verify that the outlet valve is open.
9.
At this time, air is bled through the booster pump vent valve. When the vent valve water flow is free of air
bubbles, close vent valve.
10.
Turn on the gear unit by pressing the gear unit switch at overload protection switch box.
11.
Check that the piston is turning in the appropriate direction (CCW—viewed from piston free end).
12.
Check that the drain collector and suction/injection nozzles are turning in the appropriate direction (CW). The
rotation direction may be viewed through a sight glass, when supplied.
13.
Visually check that the piston is operating normally and reaches its maximum forward and rearpositions.
14.
Adjust continuous flush valve by carefully closing valve manually to obtain 0.5 bar differential pressure between the
outlet chamber and the drain chamber. At this state (0.5 bar), the drain valve is properly adjusted. Do not disturb
valve after adjustment.
15.
Run forced super-flush. Adjust manual super-flush valve for 1 bar differential pressure between the outlet
chamber and the drain chamber.
