Pump operation:
Make sure the pump is clean and free of any foreign matter.
Once the motor, flush and piping all have been properly connected, the flush is turned on and is
visibly flowing (if the pump has a flush option) and the pump has been flooded, the pump can
be momentarily turned on to check the motor rotation. The correct rotation is counter-clock
wise while looking at the pump from the suction end clock wise if looking at the pump from the
motor end.
When the rotation of the motor has been verified to be correct the pump is ready to run continu-
ously for service.
Shut down instructions:
Turn off power supply to the pump.
Close shut-off valves.
Drain and clean pump.
