2.14 law and arbitration
The Contract shall be governed by the law of the State of Texas.
Any disputes arising out of this Contract shall be resolved by
informal mediation in any manner that the parties may agree
within 45 days of written request for mediation by one party to the
other. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through mediation
shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in English in
Portland, Oregon under the Commercial Rules of the American
Arbitration Association except as otherwise provided in this
Section. The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators
chosen in accordance with said Rules. The arbitrators are not
entitled to award damages in excess of compensatory damages.
Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.
3. Installation - Mechanical
Read these instructions thoroughly before installing and
operating your PACO Type L Centrifugal Pump. Successful
operation depends on careful attention to the procedures
described in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this manual. Keep this
instruction manual handy for future use.
3.1 Pump identification
All PACO Pumps are identified by Catalog and Serial Numbers.
These numbers are stamped on the pump nameplate (Fig. 1)
affixed to each pump volute casing, and should be referred to in
all correspondence with the Company.

4.2 Receiving
• Check pumping unit for shortage and damage immediately
upon arrival. Pump accessories when required are packaged
in a separate container and shipped with the unit.
• If equipment is damaged in transit, promptly report this to the
carrier's agent. Make complete notations on the freight bill to
speed satisfactory adjustment by the carrier.
• Unload and handle the unit with a sling. Do not lift unit by eye
bolts on the motor!
4.3 Temporary storage
• If pump is not to be installed and operated soon after arrival,
store it in a clean, dry area of moderate ambient temperature.
• Rotate the shaft by hand periodically to coat bearing with
lubricant to retard oxidation and corrosion.
• Follow motor manufacturer's storage recommendations where
applicable.
4.4 Location
• Locate the pump as close to the suction supply as possible.
Use the shortest and most direct suction piping practical.
Refer to
3.9 Suction (inlet) piping
.
• Locate the pump below system level wherever possible. This
will facilitate priming, assure a steady liquid flow, and provide
a positive suction head.
• Make sure sufficient NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) is
provided at the suction end by considering the pump's location
in relation to the entire system. Available NPSH must always
equal or exceed required NPSH specified on the pump
performance curve.
• Always allow sufficient accessibility for maintenance and
inspection. Provide a clear space with ample head room for
use of a hoist strong enough to lift the unit.
• Make sure a suitable power source is available for the pump
motor. Electrical characteristics should match those specified
on the motor data plate, within the limits covered in
4. Installation-electrical
and
5. Operation
.
• Avoid pump exposure to sub-zero temperatures to prevent
pump liquid from freezing. If freezing conditions exist during
shutdown periods, see Sections
5.6 Pump shutdown
and
5.7 Short duration shutdown
for specific recommendations.
4.5 Horizontal pump foundation
Horizontal pumps should be permanently installed on a firm,
concrete foundation mounting pad of sufficient size to dampen
any vibration and prevent any deflection or misalignment. The
pad may float on springs or be a raised part of the equipment
room floor. The foundation should be poured without interruption
to 3/4 to 1 - 1/2 inches below the final pump elevation. The top
surface should be well scored or grooved before the concrete
sets to provide a suitable bonding surface for the grout. Anchor
bolts should be set in pipe sleeves for positioning allowance, as
shown in Fig. 2. Allow enough bolt length for grout, lower base
plate flange, nuts and washers. Allow the foundation to cure
several days before proceeding with pump installation.
Warning
Prior to installation, read these installation and
operating instructions. Installation and operation
must comply with local regulations and accepted
codes of good practice.
Warning
The use of this product requires experience with
and knowledge of the product. Persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities must not use this product, unless
they are under supervision or have been
instructed in the use of the product by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must not
use or play with this product.
