The pump, suction line and discharge line have been vented and primed with the
fluid to be handled.
1. Fully open the shut-off element in the suction head/suction lift line.
2. Close/slightly open the shut-off element in the discharge line; fully open the
shut-off element if a check valve is installed.
3. Start up the motor.

point.
When the pump is started up via frequency inverter, ensure short start ramps
(approximately 3-5 s).
NOTE
Speed controlled operation shall only start after approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Pump start-up with long start ramps and low frequency may cause clogging.
