Before First Startup
Cleaning Pump and Piping
Disassemble pump and clean all product contact parts and seal parts prior to first operation. Follow instructions in
“Cleaning Safety Procedures” on page 12 and “Scheduled Routine Maintenance” on page 14. The pump and piping
system should be thoroughly cleaned of any materials accumulated during installation. Do not use pump to clean system.
Check motor for proper rotation (looking at front of pump, motor should rotate counter-clockwise when discharge is on
right side, clockwise when discharge is on left side).
•
Pump housing should be filled with liquid before startup.
•
Maximum inlet pressure to the pump should not exceed 150 PSI.
•
Available NPSH should be greater than or equal to the NPSH required by the pump.
Cleaning Safety Procedures
Manual Cleaning
DANGER:
Never attempt cleaning equipment
while it is operating.
WARNING:
To prevent an accidental startup,
power source should be locked out using lock
and key.
•
Lock out electrical power and shut off all air prior to
cleaning equipment.
•
Keep electrical panel covers closed and power off
when washing equipment.
•
Do not use toxic and/or flammable solvents.
•
Clean up spills as soon as possible.
•
Wear proper protective clothing.
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP)
•
Ensure all connections in cleaning circuit are properly
applied and tight to avoid contact with hot water or
cleaning solutions.
•
Establish safe procedures to avoid automatic startup
while servicing equipment in circuit when cleaning
cycle is controlled from remote or automated cleaning
center.
Preliminary Test Run
Test system using a preliminary run with materials to be
pumped. During testing,
DO NOT
run pump to produce
final product.
See “Starting Pump” on page 13.
Ammeter Test
Temporarily install an ammeter in electrical service if
uncertain about pump selection and application.
WARNING:
To avoid electrocution, ammeter
installation should be done by a registered
electrician.
Operate pump under process conditions and check motor
amp draw versus nameplate full load rating. If amp draw
exceeds motor rating, a system change or pump change is
required.
Recheck motor amp draw if liquid and/or process
conditions change (higher specific gravity, higher
viscosity).
