1. PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested before from the factory. Before
installation, inspect the pump for damage which may have occurred during shipment.
Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged threads, and other obvious
damage.
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hardware. Since gaskets tend to shrink
after drying, check for loose hardware at mating surfaces.
c. Carefully read all warnings and cautions contained in this manual or affixed to
the pump, and perform all duties indicated. Note the direction of rotation
indicated on the pump. Check that the pump shaft rotates counterclockwise
when facing the back cover plate assembly/impeller end of the pump.
2. POSITIONING PUMP
Lifting
Use lifting equipment with a capacity of at least
900kg
. This pump weighs
approximately
190kg,
not including the weight of accessories and base. Customer
installed equipment such as suction and discharge piping
must
be removed before
attempting to lift.
The pump assembly can be seriously damaged if the cables or
chains used to lift and move the unit is improperly wrapped around
the pump.
CAUTION!
Mounting
Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as practical to the liquid being
pumped. Level mounting is essential for proper operation.
The pump may have to be supported or shimmed to provide for level operation or to
eliminate vibration.
Clearance
When positioning the pump, ensure clearances of
500 mm
at both the back cover and
rotating assembly, allowing easy access to the pump interior.
Only operate this pump in the direction indicate by the arrow on the
pump body and on the accompanying decal. Refer to ROTATION in
OPERATION, Section C.
CAUTION!
a. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Refer to LUBRICATION in the
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR section of this manual and perform duties as
instructed.
b. If the pump and power source have been stored for more than 12 months, some
of the components or lubricants may have exceeded their maximum shelf life.
These must be inspected or replaced to ensure maximum pump service.
c. If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if anything appears to be
abnormal, contact your Remko distributor or the factory to determine the repair
or updating policy. Do not put the pump into service until appropriate action has
been taken.
