5 .1 - PREPARATIONS
a. Connect the electrical motor in accordance with the local rules and regulations. Perform this work by qualified personnel.
b. Undertake roller adjustment of the pump according to the pump process, see §6.3 ROLLER ADJUSTMENT. The pumps are
always delivered with non-adjusted rollers.
c. Check the direction of rotation of the pump. It is recommended to install a rotation inverter on the motor for the hose change.
5 .2 - START-UP
a. Install piping at the inlet and outlet of the pump.
b. Make sure that valves at the inlet and outlet are opened.
c. Start the pump by checking its direction of rotation by the front cover.
d. Check the flow and discharge pressure and adjust rollers if these figures don’t match the pump specifications.
4 .5 - LIFTING THE PUMP
Pumps are provided with two lift holes (eyebolts) placed on the upper part of the frame. While lifting the pump, respect the
following points:
- Lift the complete hose pump using the lifting holes plus additional support on the gearbox and the motor using suitably
rated straps or slings.
- Never exceed the upper limits of the crane or device responsible for handling the pump weight. The estimated weights
for each pump series is listed in the table below.
- The motorized pump, given its centre of gravity, will tend to overbalance on the pump head side. Make sure that the
persons are at a secure distance of the pump to avoid any risk of injury.
- Never raise the pump otherwise than by the pump’s lifting rings.
- Never raise the pump by it’s orifices.
