Start-up
Before starting
After installation or whenever it can be assumed
that the pump has been emptied, the pump must be
thoroughly filled with liquid. See chapter ”Suction
Line ”, page 5.
!
Make sure the prime mover is disconnected
and can not be started accidentally.
While filling the pump rotate the shaft by hand. If
the shaft is not accessible, rotation can be performed
from the motor fan, to ensure that the rotor bores
and the shaft seal com part ment is filled.
!
Do not forget to fit the motor fan cover again
before making start of motor possible.
Open the shutoff valves in the inlet and delivery
pipes to the full extent. Set pump pressure relief
valve at the lowest opening pressure. The pump is
now ready for starting.
If the suction pipe cannot be completely filled, it is
important to ensure that the trapped air is evacuated
without any pressure build up.
(See fig. 7 De aeration).
ATTENTION
Starting a dry pump is likely to cause
damage to the pump.
Direction of rotation
When the pump is ready to be started, switch the
motor briefly on and off and check that the drive
motor rotates in the correct direction as indicated by
the rotation arrow.
Check the direction of rotation by watching the fan
on the electric motor.
