Arrangement for Installation
General Installation Precautions
Open the packaging and note down the Serial number and Model for future reference
Ensure all fasteners are tightened properly
Use prescribed pipe sizes as mentioned on the product name plate
Use a quality foot valve with strainer to ensure proper priming
Immediately on installation, prime the set before starting the pump
Do not install the pump with high static suction lift
It is recommended to install the pump on a level base with foundation bolts to prevent the pump
and piping from getting stressed
Use a single power cable for three phase from the pump to the starter. It is not recommended to
use a power cable with large number of joints as this can result in a significant voltage drop
While installing the pump, ensure the pump is not subject to shock loads which can damage the
pump parts
As the pump is air cooled, ensure that air flow to the cooling fan, located at the rear side of the
motor, is not blocked
Leakage past the gland is necessary to ensure that the heat generated due to friction
between the rotating sleeve and stationary packing rope is carried away. About 20 drops / minute
is normal
Engage a professional and trained mechanic with experience in erecting Non-clog Sewage
Pumps
Ensure proper safety precautions during installation
Ensure that a level foundation is ready before erection of the pump. Contact the dealer from
whom the pump was purchased for the motor mounting details for preparing the foundation
Use appropriate lifting equipment during installation.
