WARNING:
All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpected discharge. Dis-
charge can cause equipment damage, electric shock, and result in serious injury. Test the
ground lead to verify it is connected correctly.
WARNING:
•
When installing in a potentially explosive environment, ensure that the motor
is properly certified.
•
Do not test the motor for direction of rotation when it is coupled to the pump. If the pump
is driven in the wrong direction, serious damage to the pump, motor, and personnel could
result.
•
Avoid working under suspended loads. If necessary to do so, follow the more stringent of
local, state or federal safety regulations.
NOTICE:
•
Refer to the separate IOM supplement for thrust pots.
•
Read and follow the motor manufacturer's instructions before lubricating the motor bear-
ings. Excessive lubrication can cause the bearings to overheat and fail prematurely.
The coupling between the driveshaft and the discharge-head shaft can either be a non-spacer type or a
spacer type.
The spacer type is used on pumps furnished with a mechanical seal to permit servicing of the seal with-
out the removal of the driver.
